I'm in Connecticut now! :)

Journal Entry for 5 June 2006
From: Heri
Location: Connecticut

Hi everyone! Well, as you see, I've left Alabama & have arrived in Connecticut.

Anna Marie wrote about my Alabama adventures in the scrapbook I carry with me, but I do want to tell you that I learned a lot about people during that part of my journey - and many of the things you humans do to support each other. I'm pretty impressed. I also learned all about the VA Hospital. We did many 250 miles trips there while I was with Anna Marie.

I was kind of scared when I first arrived in CT yesterday - June 3rd. There was a huge thunderstorm going on. The postal carrier set me down on something and left! Ginny found me the next day - just as she came home from church. I was on the picnic table on her front porch! I didn't get wet and when she opened my box, I found a smiling face. She brought me inside and made me feel welcome right away. Seems all you POH Hostesses must have that in common: warm & welcoming from the first moment I arrive!

Ginny took me with her to a doctor's appointment. I listened to them talk about her rheumatoid arthritis I don't know if bears ever have that or not, but it sure doesn't sound like a fun thing! Her doctor was nice though and Ginny says I'm now learning about "senior issues" Sounds good to me. You all know by now how much I enjoy learning about different kinds of people, ways of living, cultures and places. Guess that's why we've called this my Heritage Express!

Wonder what this CT part of my journey will be like and what Ginny's world is all about? I'll write again and let you know! :)

Your Heri Poh
