After not showing up on my blog page for months, maybe even a year, the sitemeter is now there. I'm afraid to breathe or cough because it might go away.
I want to thank Kristine who gave me the idea for Flat Stanley, and to Sandie who sent me the link to the templates. At first when I looked at the web site it appeared to require Apps, and as I've said before I don't do apps. But I found out the apps are not necessary. I printed out several templates and just now took them over to Autumn and Arianna to color for me. I did the Flat Stanley one, but there are also girl figures as well and I printed some of them thinking that we will use the girlie template on our upcoming road trip to Oregon.
My granddaughter Autumn is probably the best person I know to color a picture. She does a beautiful job with it, and the colors she does are always bright and bold - just what is needed for a little paper doll who is going to appear on photographs.
I can't believe I have never heard of Flat Stanley, and he's been around since 1964! I was around Ara's age in 1964 and had many other things on my mind I guess.
I stopped at AAA this morning and picked up the individual state maps I'll be using for my trip to NY, and will send them soon to my grandsons. This is going to be so much fun for me, and I hope it's half as enjoyable for the kids as it is for me. But I don't know why "Fat Albert" is what comes to my mind first instead of "Flat Stanley".
- No Blt Today Either
I totally forgot about getting the sandwich at 11 am, which is when I should get there to avoid the crowds as well as assuring they won't have sold out of their wonderful croissants. That is the best part of the BLT! Maybe tomorrow if...
- Sunday, Aug 4--hat Creek, Ca
After driving 210 miles I found a nice camp site at Rocky CG in the Lassen National Forest. It is right off the road and I can hear occasional traffic, but most of the noise is drowned out by the creek rushing behind my site, and the birds. First...

Tuesday evening - we left Sunday just before Noon for Burney Falls, CA, and had a cabin reserved at the State Park there. The cabin was very nice and just perfect for us, although the sites were close together with no or little privacy between them. ...
- Calling Cards
When I was full-time RVing and opened my South Dakota mailing address, Terri sent me a supply of calling cards as well as some return address labels. I've been wanting to get some that aren't so plain, so after years of avoiding Instaprint...
- What Can I Say?
It's hot, almost unbearably so without a proper a/c, but tomorrow will be worse. This summer is already written for me as to what I do and where I'm going, but you can bet next year I am going to be in the mountains for every heat wave to...
