My mom and I had a fun time on Saturday, December 8, when we went to the historic town of Chappell Hill, TX. for their traditional "Teddy Bear Parade"!
Our thoughts were of standing on Main Street with others who enjoy the sentiment of teddy bears and Christmas. We just knew we would see joyful children on decorated floats displaying various forms of teddy bears!
We waited. And we waited for the parade to begin.
No parade!
So we asked where the parade would begin and we were informed that the "Teddy Bear Parade" was happening right then on the porch of the City Hall with Mrs. Santa reading Christmas tales to children who had dressed their own beloved teddy bears up in the joy of the season.
Off we trekked to City Hall to hear a story or two.
The joy of seeing the children of all shapes and ages starring at the books Mrs. Santa was reading and holding their bears was a parade enough for us.
We quickly reflected on a very famous bear we knew who was always thinking of his need for "honey"! We were hungry and found ourselves in the famous, Bevers Kitchen, in Chappell Hill. Oh, my, their homemade soup was so delicious, but could not compare to the satisfaction the homemade pies were to our sweet tooths!
What a day we had together!
We treasure our own "Teddy Bear Parade of Memories" made on that day!
