Introducing Brown Eyes T. Bear

I thought it would be a nice idea if I (Thornfield) offered some brief profiles of some of the bears who live at Thornfield Manor or at Schloss Grenliksen. Later, I'll profile some of the other animals, too.

Brown Eyes is the Senior Bear. He's been here since 1987, longer than pretty much all of us. Brown Eyes is a well-traveled bear. He has been to Turkey, Germany, and England, and of course all over the United States. He especially loves camping.

Brown Eyes says the reason most bears don't have any money is that they don't have pockets. He feels lucky that he has a nice pair of overalls, where he keeps his money. The little guy is rich, actually - it started with a single dollar from Sally Balakrishnan, but now there are tens and twenties in the roll.

The Staff at Thornfield Manor

There is a TV show called Downton Abbey, about life at a great English estate. Many of our readers have asked about the staff at Thornfield Manor, so I thought I would give you a brief rundown. Later, we shall add pictures.

Rodney is the butler.

Alfie is the senior footman.

Oscar is the doorman, assisted by McCulloch.

Eloise and Petra are the housekeeping staff.

Johnson assists as butler, doorman, or footman, as required by the occasion.

Bucher runs a school on the manor grounds, for all the staff's children and some of the creatures from the estate.

Gascon is the chef, assisted by Washoe and Sue.

A New Addition to the Family

Sweet Pea the Lamb is all grown up now, and has a lamb of her own. We bears thought you might like to see some pictures. Sweet Pea lives on the estate at Thornfield Manor.

Happy Christmas, Everyone!

Hello Friends, Far & Near!

I'm filling in for Lolo this year, but all us us bears - and the many other animals at Schloss Grenliksen - want to wish you all a very Happy Christmas! We hope you are well and happy, and we also hope the New Year brings you much honey and salmon, and other treats.

Take care! I'm off to finish the Christmas letter.

Love,

Thornfield, of Thornfield Manor

Christmas Letter Update

Thornfield here, updating you on the Christmas letter. Long-time readers will recall that normally Lolo write the annual Christmas letter, but this year Lolo is off on a big adventure.

Yes, that's right. Lolo, Stanley, and Wobie set out this fall for Redfish Lake, Idaho where it is rumored the owners are going to remodel and expand the lodge. The bears want to check the plans. Redfish Lake is wild and scenic country, and Lolo, Stanley, and Wobie were birthed and reared there, in the caves and crannies of the Sawtooth Mountains.

Frankly, they're worried about Redfish Lake, and the rest of us bears are worried about them. We were supposed to get postcards from them, but nothing yet.

We'll keep you posted, and I promise I'll get the Christmas letter out on time. I sure wish George and Louise would help out, though.

Special Christmas Item

For all the Bears on your Christmas list, we'd like to suggest our new Electric Cave Heater. That's right - help your ursine friends this winter with a safe, convenient Electric Cave Heater. This wonderful invention, developed right here at Thornfield Manor, helps a bear stay toasty-warm during that long winter hibernation.

And there's still time to get one before Christmas! Bears are very traditional, and we celebrate Christmas according to the Olde Calendar - what you humans call Julian - so our Christmas is not until January 5th!

Hurry and order today! They are only $29.99, postpaid in the US. Just leave a note in the comments section and we'll get back to you.
