Three Or More Tuesday #5

I am late posting this today. I was out of town attending a continuing ed course. But I made it home again in time to include this Three or More Tuesday post.
First I must say thank you to Tam over at The Gypsy's Corner for hosting this fun day for us every week.
Today I am sharing with you a few of my bears.
My blog name came about because of my love of teddy bears.
Most of you know me as Neabear.
In case you were wondering that is prounounced as three syllables.
The Nea is Ne-a with the "a" as a short "a" sound. The "e" is short also.
Then you add the bear part.
Anyway, I won this bear from Suzie at Suzie Button's Creations after she did that interview about me a couple of weeks ago. Actually, she decided she had to give this bear to me.
Thank you so much Suzie for this adorable bear.
What makes it special to me is that this bear has two hearing aids just like me!
I have not named this bear yet. But my hubby thinks we should call it Neabear.
Most of you have met Helmi.
She had to get on my new bear's lap.
You can kind of see a size comparision there.
Then there is this little guy that sits by the monitor and watches me type away on the computer. He reminds me when I make booboos in my typing.

He had to get in a picture with the other two.
A very nice bear portrait I must say.
Heehee.
Hey, don't forget me! I have this one by the computer also. I got him at the Teddy Bear Museum in Naples, Florida one year. I am not sure, but I think that museum is no longer there.
He spends his time guarding my dictionary and other books I have there.
That dictionary gets used a lot. I try to spell words correctly. If I am not sure of a spelling I take the time to look it up to find the correct spelling.
I know I can do the spell check. But I like looking up a word and then checking the definition to make sure I am using the word in the right context.

Also by my computer is this coffee mat with bears on it. I have several of these sitting around in places where I set my coffee cup. I have one by the sewing machine and one on the table where I sit to do my cross stitch.
Happy Tuesday everyone!

Your bears are adorable! You know me and stuffed animals - monkeys, bears and oh yes, orangutans!

The bee on the bear's nose is soo cute! You have a bunch of "Guardian-Angel Bears" to watch over you - bless them and bless you!

I think you should name him Buzzzzzz. After all, he does have a bee on his nose, and that is also the sound the your hearing aids sometimes make;)
