Here is a picture of some of the people: Lois, Julia, Charlie, Susan Vernon with George, Lucy and Dan.

Oh my! Edward awoke to the sounds of more people. He knew that this was going to be a gathering of family and friends, but he didn't know exactly how many people that meant. During the night, while he was sleeping, Vernon and Moya arrived. They brought their dog, George, with them. Now there are two dogs running around and barking and having a good time.

To Edward it seems as if the people are always talking at the same time and the more people there are, the more talk there is. Some people went on adventures today to see the Natural Bridge and to visit the Bakery and to check out the new grist mill and cafe. Edward stayed home, but wanted to go to Natural Bridge. He heard it was near the Lion and the Mouse and he knows that there are caves on that mountain. Edward loves caves. They are good places to look for other bears, but this isn't the right time of the year for bears in caves, so he doesn't know what he would have found. In the afternoon some of the people went to play in the river, but Edward stayed in the camper.

Edward knows that even more people are going to arrive tonight. Ben and Carol have three dogs. WOW! There will be a lot of dogs and a lot of people. Tomorrow is the celebration and Edward is interested to see what it will bring.
