hanging with stanley

My sweet cousin Mia sent me a letter last week.  Her class has been reading Flat Stanley,

and she sent me Stanley.

Stanley came to Texas, 

and I was delighted to show him what living here is all about.

So far, Stanley has

taken a ride in a shopping bag to the Farmer's Market where we bought fresh strawberries and ran through wet grass at the park,

stopped to smell the Texas bluebonnets,

and tasted our famous Texas watermelon.

We have big plans for the weekend with Stanley,

I mean, you can't come to Texas and not sample some barbecue.
