A new writing assignment.

I received a letter yesterday from one of my great-nieces (a third grader) in Spokane.  It came in an envelope with another letter from her reading teacher and a cut out, cheerfully colored, figure of a little boy named Flat Stanley.  I was asked to take some pictures of Flat Stanley engaged in various activities or sight seeing.  So now I'm having fun imagining situations for this little flat character.  So far I've taken pictures of him holding a tooth brush, being tucked into bed, 'helping' make cornbead and holding a grape.  Nothing very exciting yet but I hope to get some helpful suggestions from family and friends.  I am reminded of a time, many years ago, when my son and some college friends took a little yellow-orange plastic caution figure (the kind you see warning of wet floors or whatever) traveling with them when they took a trip to Cape Kennedy.  I know I won't have any pictures as exciting as some they came up with but I will do my best to send something my neice will enjoy reading. I may also slip some pictures into this blog just for fun.
