reply to Flat Stanley

Flat Stanley made it back home! And here's the reply email I recieved:

============================================

Hi Uncle Tony,
I got Flat Stanley back. My teacher said it was one of the best Flat Stanley in the class,it also was an A.
I'm so glad that I got it back so early. I love the way you designed it, it looks wonderful to everyone in my class and me too.
When are you coming to the city? I really want to see the baby. How did you do all that work? Like I said I
really like how you made the Flat Stanley projects. I thought it was a scrapbook when I first saw it. I hope I get to see you some time
during this year and I want to see the rest of the family .EMAIL me back as soon as you can.Anyways bye.



Love, Melissa

============================================

Isn't that the cutest thing?!?! I'm glad my uh.. I mean Melissa's project got an "A"!!

Flat Stanley

In the book, Flat Stanley , by Jeff Brown in 1964, Stanley is squashed flat by a falling bulletin board. Being paper-thin, Stanley is able to visit the world and meet all kinds of amazing people by traveling around in an envelope.

Here Flat Stanley is in Vancouver!

Recycling Centre: (where he made $6.10!)

Kid's Market in Granville Island:


Stanley was sent by Melissa Chow, a third grader from Haley Elementary in Chicago. This is actually Stanley's second trip to Vancouver... last time he visited he took a detour to Hong Kong where he met an unfortunate end in a shopping mall's garbage bin. Sorry. I felt (still feel) like a jerk.

DimSum with Gramps

Not many chances to spend quality time with Grandpa. In fact, I think this is the second time in her life to do so.

On another note:
Last night Persephanie had a nightmare. First one that spooked her.. so much that it woke her up screaming. For the rest of the day, she was getting startled by the littlest things.

Happy something Day!

Chocolate review: Zazubean

Zazubean offers some really interesting flavors. This one in particular was specifically designed for men. An aphrodisiac. Well, it's not that that had me interested.. it was the blend of chocolate and spice that got me curious. I would say this one of the most unique flavors I had ever tasted. Starts out with a typical dark chocolate flavor.. nothing unusual. You would 'look' for the spice while rolling the creaminess around the tongue.. still nothing. Only until AFTER all the chocolate is completely finished... the spiciness kicks in! Like a punch in the face.
SCORE: *** (for uniqueness)

When Persephanie is sad, EVERYONE is sad.



Favorite car. Had to fight off a couple kids for this. It was ugly.. there was head bashing involved. Only 1 fatality. To the victor belong the spoils!

Shopping Carts

Some of you may know.. I hate shopping carts. I really do.

But.. I have to admit.. these new designs are pretty sweet.
She's got a fever today. (102 degress!) .. and still taking it like a champ.

Side note.. we saw Dolph Lundren, (aka He-Man!) at the doctor's office! hehe
