FLAT STANLEY'S VISIT


We had a visitor from New York recently. My sister Kelly's son, Eric, sent his friend "Flat Stanley" to the farm. We hope he enjoyed his stay. While he was here, Stanley was a busy fellow. He joined some of our art classes.


He spent several nights and days at the theatre and really enjoyed watching "The Pirates of Penzance". Here he is trying on the Pirate King's hat, while Curious George wears a hat belonging to a distant relative of "Flat Stanley", the Modern Major General Stanley.


Stanley enjoyed going out to see the wildlife. Lightning, our cat is giving him tips on birdwatching.


Stanley is doing some obedience work with Nikki, our German Shepherd. He taught Glory, Nikki, and Anna all how to sit.
Stanley is on his way back to New York now. We hope next time Eric can come too, although not in an envelope.

Haha, Stanley came to visit Joplin last summer. He didn't look quite the same, but pretty close. He was visiting the family I nanny for. :D Funny to think about how many Stanley's are traveling through the mail around the USA. :)
