Our guest


We have a guest at our house. His name is Stanley Lambchop, or aka Flat Stanley. Somehow when the Flat Stanley series of books were written in 1964 by Jeff Brown, they passed over our home and we never met this adorable child.


Well, our grandson, Joshua, is in 2nd grade in Wisconsin, and he mailed Flat Stanley to visit us and we are to take pictures of Flat Stanley while he is in Florida, and then mail the pictures back to Joshua's classroom. Fun?


So, I have found him in a palm tree and a grapefruit tree so far. I thought about taking him to the Trout's colonoscopy today, but that just didn't seem right. So, Joshua, Flat Stanley will probably come back to see you sometime next week in the envelope you sent. Gosh, wish we could all travel by envelope now and then.

  1. How dear! I think it's good that Flat Stanley took a pass on the colonoscopy.

  3. Actually - a little boy in the second grade would probably love colonoscopy photo's;-)

  4. How cute. I have heard of Flat Stanley recently. He is getting to be popular all over the country. I too wish I could fit the envelope.

  6. Me, too. I would mail myself to Australia. Or maybe Ireland. Or maybe even to Maryland to see my grandsons...
