Connor's Flat Stanley just finished trimming the Christmas Tree!
He is in Rapid City
Flat Gordon helping serve a Christmas lunch to the teachers at Granby Elem in Norfolk VA where my church holds Good News Club weekly.
Here's Flat Gordon on my t-shirts worn while we both worked with Operation Blessing in VaBeach VA packing 528 boxes of food - meals for families affected by disasters in our country such as hurricanes, floods, tornados. My husband and I returned from southwest FL doing hurricane cleanup for 2 weeks, only to then find Flat Gordon had arrived. So he helped with another of their projects.
