…is an inflatable Bumble! I’ve been wanting one for years and cannot seem to find one anywhere. It’s one of my secret obsessions…The Bumble! Who doesn’t love abominable snowmen (or snow monsters)?
My family usually goes out of the way to let me drive past the few homes in New Orleans that have one, but it’s getting harder and harder to find one. The one closest to my home is no longer there, the home was sold, and The Bumble is gone. I wish I could have told those people how much I enjoyed seeing it during the holidays.
Just like anything that gets retired, the inflatable Bumble was limited and a collectible, so those are selling for hundreds of dollars, more than I can afford. I’ll continue buying little Bumbles here and there, just like the recent animated one that plays Burl Ives singing, “A Holly Jolly Christmas” with some Bumble roars mixed into it.
Hope your holiday season, whatever you celebrate, is off to a great start.

Enjoy your bumble. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy 2013
Yay! Rudolph! Hoping the same for you, a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, wonderful, and prosperous New Year.
On a more serious note, please know that I’m here if you ever need to chat as you recover from Sandy. Life really does become easier and feel more normal, day by day, I promise. Sending you prayers for strength and comfort. xx
It’s getting somewhat better for the victims. We were ok. We are approx. 4 miles from the causeway and inland. People are coping and every weekend people gather to help those who need help in tearing stuff out of their homes. LBI is coming along a few shops are open again and the main gas will be turned on in about 2 weeks. So much lost. So many people lost everything. But here in Stafford WE ARE STAFFORD STRONG and building better and better each day.
Thank you so much for your kind offer.
