The Adventures Continue!
February 12
Yesterday my hosts took me and Hitty Grace to a miniature show. My hostess,
Judy, was hoping there would be something there of Hitty-scale. Unfortunately,
although there were many beautiful items to be purchased, none were correct
for Hittys. We did find a lovely English cottage in the Exhibit Room. Perhaps
someday my travels will take me to visit a real English cottage.
After the show, we stop in nearby Manhattan Beach to visit Judy's cousin,
Donna. Donna's Golden Retriever, Zoe, recently had a litter of ten puppies.
I was able to meet close-up with one of the 4-1/2 week old pups, Coastal Eddie.
As you will see in the photo, Coastal Eddie was quite fond of me.

February 14 - Happy Valentine's Day!
Once again I awoke to a beautiful sunny day. And, once again, I could hear
all sorts of scurrying and whispering going on in the Hitty house. Something
big was in the plans for the day. I knew that today was to be my last day
here in Sherman Oaks and right away I started getting my possessions together.
Mid-day I was invited into the parlour which had been decorated for Valentine’s
Day. It was such a festive site, and, oh my, so many yummy things to eat.
Valentine hearts were being passed about. I was given a lively striped one
to keep as a memento of my visit here.
The party was two-fold. It was a celebration of my visit here and also a welcoming
to the Sherman Oaks Gang’s newest member, Hitty Cherry Valentine. She
and I were given the place of honor at the head of the table. Hitty Cherry
is a very sweet and pleasant person. I know she will be happy here.
After we were full from the wonderful sweets, the Hittys brought out a wooden
chest and presented it to me. It was for me to use to pack my souvenirs from
my visit in Sherman Oaks. I opened the chest and found that my poster and
book about teeth from the Science Lecture were already inside. Also inside
was a lovely cloak and bonnet knit by my hostess. The Hittys reminded me that
I would be leaving for New York tomorrow and would need some warm clothing
as there had been a very big snowfall.
Moses and Otis brought the wooden chest to my guest room so that I could pack
all of my newly acquired possessions. Tomorrow I leave on the postal bus to
return to Ms. Julie. Visiting the many hosts throughout the United States
has been a wonderful adventure. Soon I will learn of my permanent home.
What a grand adventure I have had!
