FLAT STANLEY ARRIVES ON THE BEACH--

Second graders at Mansfield Christian School recently read the book "Flat Stanley".   This book is about a young boy of that name who is squished "as flat as a pancake" when a bulletin board falls on him.  Stanley is very, very flat but otherwise just fine.

The story goes on to tell there are advantages to being flat.  Stanley can slide under doors or go down into sidewalk grates to do some exploring.  He even can fold himself up small enough to fit in an envelope and be mailed to some far-off place for an exciting vacation.

Sue's co-worker Sarah Conn (before Sue's retirement) has a second grade daughter at Mansfield Christian, X'zaria Murphy, who colored the Flat Stanley pictured above and mailed him to Sue in Vero Beach where we took him on his adventure to one of our near-countless beaches.

Flat Stanley asked us to share this picture with X'zaria and to wish everyone out there a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
