Today Is The Day The Teddy Bears Have Their Picnic

Please be sure to click on any of the links that I've included. Don't forget to come back and finish the post though. I love your visits and the comments you leave. As insignificant as you might believe they are, they lift the spirits of this "Old Man" to heights you couldn't imagine.


Now for those concerned readers of this blog, it seems that I am finally getting used to this new hand held wireless device. I actually posted a couple of comments to facebook today and there were at least two images taken and posted via this device. I was also able to remember the path to silence the phone during church and no one got their head bitten off due to my frustration. Ahh! Life is truly good!Don't expect, however, for me to make posts such as this one with just one or two thumbs. Efficiency calls for the use of all ten fingers. Besides, the skill of touch typing is one of the important skills which my mother left me and it is good for me to exercise that skill as frequently as time permits.

Ok, some of my visitors through Facebook asked for more info regarding the restaurant that we visited today. That restaurant would be the Black Bear Diner. Now Debbie and I have actually been to the Beaverton, Or location three times and have been pleased during each of these visits. We don't drive to Beaverton to visit the restaurant but if we happen to be in the neighborhood when the "urge" to replentish our stores of calories, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, (as in we're hungry) then we stop by. Interestingly, there does often require a wait though today it was only 10 or 15 minutes. The menu is on recycled paper and looks somewhat like a newspaper but the items listed on it, at least the ones that I have experienced, are tastey and filling. In fact, today I had to laugh because as we were waiting, a waitress delivered a dish to a relativly small women that could have easily fed three people like myself. I think she split it with her companion but one needs to know that one will not go away from this establishment hungry.

All of the decorations are bear related to some form or other. There are bear carvings, paintings, and usually somebody wandering around the place dressed as, yeah, you guessed it, a bear. Oh well, that is part of the charm of the place.

Go ahead and check it out on my recommendation. I'm confident that you will come away having received good service, a good meal, and a good time.

  3. Hey, we have a Black Bear Diner here too, but we've never eaten there yet. I guess it's time to try it out. You guys have way too much fun :) Oh, and could you tell Deb I think she should put that picture up on her facebook profile page! ... too cute!

  4. Sounds like my kind of restaurant. I must say that although good food is important I am very fond of eateries that have what I would consider as an interesting interior/exterior. From you pics this one qualifies! Hope we can visit it sometime.
