The Adventure of Flat Stanley

Ok so let me start by saying
NO I am not crazy and
YES I have too much time on my hands ...

So a few weeks ago I get this letter in the mail from my RB and he sends me Flat Stanley

Ok so you are thinking what the heck is Flat Stanley-- well he became the star of a series of perpetually popular books.

The character's life extended further, as schoolchildren mailed cut-outs of him to their friends and that is how I received him.

Well click on the link below and see what Flat Stanley did while he was with us---

This second link will show you where Flat Stanley has been around the world

My sister did something like this with my little cousins. She asked them for one of their teddy bears and then took pictures of him throughout Europe.

Ok this is so funny. like 2 years ago I went to La mela with friends for my friends 40th birthday. His BIL brought Flat Stanley with him and all of us where cracking up they were taking pictures of him next to the street signs riding on top of the RC cars the street vendors sell. With the street Vendors. I never knew this was a real thing.
