Well, my Father in-law is 89 years old. He is a man who lived through the depression, so he is a very frugal man. My Mother in-law whom they meet during WWII while she was living in New Castle, says that he is so tight with his money, he could have been a "rag man." A man who would walk up and down the alley ways,  collecting and selling rags.
Anyhow, he comes up to me with a grin like the cheshire cat, digs deep in his pocket and says I have something for ya. I say, What is it? He puts his hand out and drops three of the googly eyes that you can find in the craft store and says. "I thought you might be able to use these on your bears!" I giggled and said "thanks" I'll see what I can do.  bear_grin

One more thing... I asked him where he got them. He said "Oh, I found them in a box in the trash dumpster outback"...  bear_tongue
