Mail from a bear and a mouse

 Hiya Gang,

Little Fox here.  I'm enjoying a nice beverage from one of my favorite tumblers.  Do you see that little fox (no, not me) on the tumbler? 

My pals Cocoa Beanie and Sandy sent a pawesome card recently. I was a little skeptical that it was really from Sandy being that his signature Canadian Mountie stamp wasn't attached but the plethora of stickers seems like something Sandy would do.

What an awesome card.  It's like looking in a mirror, am I right? 



Sandy and Cocoa Beanie mentioned that Rose was in town for Spring Break and they did some geocaching.  Knowing Sandy and crew I bet they took Rose on a ton of fun adventures, maybe a trip that place with the goats on the roof?

Merry Christmas

 Hello Gang,
Little Fox here showing off this cool envelope from Beanie and Co. It's my Christmas card that finally arrived in the mail.  These stamps are the best!

This card is very well traveled.  It traveled from England, to the USA, back to England and then back to the USA.  Sure, it's a little late but I'm impressed it made it here.
Such a cool handmade card.  Beanie and crew wishing me a Merry Christmas (thanks by the way).
I am looking for where and how to post it on the lost art blog (I didn't see any codes) so if there is something I'm missing please let me know.

Thank you Beanie.  Merry Christmas to you as well.

Welcome Spring

Hiya Gang,
LF here welcoming in Spring.  Today I am exploring the state capital, scouting some art deco shots for Sandy's next (hopefully) contest, and enjoying the nice Spring weather.  This is a cool parking garage, it's all underground and they made a state park is on t op of the garage.  Very cool..

At the state park they have all these interesting fun facts.  This one is my favorite. 

This one is on "Oregon  Firsts" such as: producing state wide voter pamphlets, state wide voter registration, electing US senators by vote, declare sovereignty of ocean beaches, adopting a workers compensation law and ban aerosol sprays.

I could not have asked for a better day.  
The capital is pretty impressive.  On top is "Oregon Pioneer".  He' was made in New Jersey, shipped across the panama canal and taken by train to Salem. Quite a journey.  
I made it as close as I can today (construction).  Can't go inside today to explore but keeping paws crossed I can explore soon. 
I can see the art deco influence but when I was reading online I also noticed people called it Soviet Era Construction, which I can see some of those influences as well. 


Since it's so nice today might as well explore the riverside park.  A cool bridge over the river and lots of outdoor art.

Trees are blooming and the river is calm. 

Time for this little fox to get lunch.

Little Fox, Party Animal.

 Hiya Gang,
Little Fox here hanging out the McMenamins Elk's Temple in Tacoma. 

I'm hanging out at the Elk's Temple waiting for the concert doors to open. Tonight, I am seeing a Tom Petty/Johnny Cash cover band called "Petty-Cash".
While I'm waiting I think I might have myself a beer. 
Perhaps a little rest before the show starts. 
Down in front, it's hard for this little fox to see the band. 
Aw, this is better. What a fun concert.
Bonus points if you can name the song in the comments.
