Mrs. Blackwell,
We are Cade Luebke's grandparents and live in Kerrville, Texas. A couple of weeks ago, Flat Stanley arrived in the mail and we've been trying our best to make his visit with us as enjoyable as possible for him. He has followed us through our normal day-to-day activities and we've been able to take him with us for some special adventures too.
Shortly after arriving here in Kerrville, Stanley went with us to visit one of our neighbors who was convalescing in a nursing home after knee surgery. The man had a German shepherd dog named Echo and the dog was having a hard time understanding why his master wasn't home. So we picked up Echo and drove him to the nursing home where the dog and the man were very happy to see one another, and Stanley was there for the happy reunion too.
Later that day, Stanley went with us to Boerne, Texas to attend our granddaughter's 6th birthday party. While there, he was able to enjoy both a pony ride and petting a variety of animals including chickens, rabbits, goats and even a pot-bellied pig.
During the week, Stanley had fun feeding the deer in our back yard. He found if he hung on the fence post perfectly still, the deer would come right up to him while they ate the corn he had scattered on the ground. He enjoyed this so much, we later took him to a park in town on the Guadalupe River and he fed the ducks there, and a goose too.
Probably the highlight of Stanley's visit occurred this past weekend when we took him along with us and two of our grandsons to a hot-air balloon festival in Abilene. Stanley not only got to play with the boys on all the toys and watch the balloons set up and fly away, but he even got to go up in one briefly.
Thanks so much for sending Flat Stanley to our home. We hope he enjoyed his visit as much as we did.
Karen and Dick Luebke
