When the mailman showed up the other day with a large box, Turner was hoping it was Flat Stanley coming home from Japan. And it was! Not only did Flat Stanley come home...he brought lots of stuff with him. He came home with lots of Japanese newspapers, some gummy treats, cookies, traditional Japanese Origami Paper, and other treats for Turner to share with his classmates next week when he goes back to school! Our friends Margie and Stan Stevens live in Japan where Stan is a technology specialist/teacher on a U.S. Military base in Iwakuni. They were kind enough to take Flat Stanley on lots of great trips as part of Turner's class project. They took him all kinds of places and took some great pictures which can be seen on their blog. Above, you can see FS at school reading with some kids and in the other picture he's having tea! Go read about Flat Stanley's adventures, and while you are there see how life in Japan is for Stan and Margie! This has been a great project for Turner and he's really learned a great deal about the world, geography and different cultures. Thanks Stan and Margie for helping make this a success and being so generous! Shipping a bunch of stuff from half-way around the world isn't cheap!

Well, you are all very welcome. Flat Stanley was a well-behaved guest and we enjoyed having him with us in Japan. Can't wait to see you all when summer comes!
Love, Margie (Yucka) & Stan
