Travelog for: Bellatrix

It's been a slow and boring week for us. Our host has been trying to find a job and going on interviews so she hasn't had a lot of extra time for us.

Tonight she told us how sorry she was. To try and make up for it she gave us some ice cream! Ice Cream is pretty good but we told her that she will have to do better than that. 

Today Pebbels left! We said our goodbyes and wished Pebbels well.

Today we had to say goodbye to Muumipeikko, Mausi and HitchaRideMo. Surprisingly they were all going to the same place.  We said our goodbyes and wished them all well.

It's been a pretty uneventful week! Our host has been searching for  a job so we've had to fend for ourselves lately. It's been okay since there are a couple of TV's here.

Today it was SOOO hot out! Our host's husband put the air conditioner in so we didn't over heat. Since it was so hot they decided to grill instead of cooking inside. Thank goodness!  For dinner our host's husband made hamburger patties and we got to watch. It was interesting....He added all different types of ingredients and sauces, it sure smelled delicious!

We didn't dare go outside in the heat to help with the hamburgers. Michele said that her husband will take care of it. Phew....

Once everything was ready we gathered at the table for a bit of the burger. We were told that if you are going to eat something unhealthy then you also need to eat something healthy. The salad was okay, but the burger was out of this world!!! Michele's husband is a good cook (shh...don't tell him though). 

After dinner Michele's husband asked if we wanted to go outside and toast marshmallows? We really had to think about it since it was so hot but we decided that it would be fun. Boy, when you add the heat of the grill to the temperature it's unbearable! We got a little help and we were thankful! The marshmallows were warm and gooey.... It's just what you need to get your fur tangled.  Luckily that didn't happen to any of us.

As we were getting ready to go back inside we saw a little squirrel on the porch. Since Resi was the only one who could speak squirrel, we sent her to talk to him.

It took her awhile to tell us what he was saying to her. Finally after begging her she told us that his name is Chipper. She said that she's in love!!!  WHAT? Someone yelled you just met him how do you know that your in love? Oh no! Our host asked him if he wanted to come inside so we can get to know him better. 

This morning our host was cleaning in her spare/computer room when she yelled "OH NO!" We had no idea what could be wrong but she came out carrying a small box. She told us that she received this box a few days ago and put it in the spare room when her mom came to visit.

There was a long pause that was filled with guilt and sadness! She told us that there is a TV in the box!  She quickly opened the box to see who was in there...... We were all expecting the worst but 2 pink ears popped up. It took awhile but finally we saw that it was Candy Cotton! Everyone was able to breath a sigh of relief. Candy Cotton was healthy and well, she told us that she slept a lot and read her travel journal to pass the time.

This evening we decided to play Disney Monopoly. It was SO much fun! Gilbert, Theo Sheep and I were one team and Candy Cotton, Willy Wau and Resi (and Chipper) were the other team. We used Nemo as our token and the other team used Sully and Boo.

Sadly after a few hours of playing we weren't doing so well. We had a lot of property with traffic cones (houses) but they weren't landing on them very often. But of course we kept landing on their properties.

In the end we lost!

For some reason it was cool out today! We aren't complaining after all of the hot weather we've experienced lately. For lunch we shared some ramen noodles with our host. They were yummy but a little difficult for us to eat.

An envelope arrived today and we just knew that it was another TV! To our surprise there were 2 TV's in the envelope....It was our host's TVs RonnieNHammie. They seemed happy to be home and we were happy to meet them.

Our host got a new job recently and today we got to ride in the car with her to the studio where she will train. It was raining out and we heard on the radio that it was supposed to rain all day.

Another envelope arrived today! We were excited to see who it could be. Michele said that had no idea who it could be. We watched as our host opened the envelope....out popped Bene. He seemed very happy to be here. Of course we welcomed him with open arms!

Today was my last day in NY! I said goodbye to all of my new friends, then it was off to the post office.

Today it seemed I finally arrived where I needed to be. I think I went by airplane and after that I suspect I was in a train and in a car, but today the bumping and bouncing stopped. Then after a couple of hours I was picked up again and brought upstairs by an elevator. As a seasoned ToyVoyager you learn to recognize all these different motions And then finally the envelope was opened and I met Ceryni, Moony and Yolanda.

This is all of us together. We look like a happy bunch, now don't we?
