bikehikbabe sent me these pictures from the internet:
According to a letter written to Snopes, the parents had built the colorful playground for their two boys but the bears tried it out first. When the mother saw the bears playing in it the next morning, she watched them for a while…and took pictures… before chasing them off. She didn’t want them to think the playground was theirs. Then the father installed an air horn just in case the bears or other unwanted guests came too close for safety.
It’s just another example of life’s unpredictability. Things don’t always go the way we expect…so it’s best to be resourceful.
What about you? Do you have any resourcefulness stories? If so, please share them in the comments section.
Thanks to Robert, bikehikebabe, Bamboo Forest and Lisa for comments on last week’s post.
🙂 And thanks to bikehikebabe for sending me the pictures.
What great pictures! Thanks for sharing these Jean. So many things in life don’t go as planned, yet the exciting thing about living is the unexpected.
Made cart using old skis, to pull behind snowmobile. Skis broke away from wood cart. Tied it together. Snowmobile stuck in a hole. Dug it out. Couldn’t find our cabin due to snow obliterating (covering) the road. Found a cabin where we spent the night, rats included. Good adventure using resourcefulness.
bikehikebabe,
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s fun to improvise sometimes, isn’t it?
David,
I agree. It would be boring if there were no surprises.
