(He waved to us!)Īt Pike’s Market, I placed “Flat Alissa” among the vibrant bouquets of tulips and luscious fruit and vegetable displays. I took her on the ferry to Bainbridge Island where they happened to be filming a scene from “Grey’s Anatomy” with Patrick Dempsey. I had so much fun explaining the project to my hosts and the people I met while displaying the paper cut-out. I also had a trip planned to Seattle, WA so I took “Flat Alissa” with me to show her the sights. I was delighted to create one for Alissa. I’ve written in journals for 40 years and have created many for my two granddaughters. I was thrilled to receive the project because I’m an avid journal writer. She requested I mail back the journal to Minnesota by May 1. She asked that I write in her journal and include some photos and souvenirs of my trip so that she will know what we did together. So she sent “Flat Alissa” and asked me to take her around my town and show her the sights. Alissa explained that she would like to be Stanley and visit me, but she can’t miss school. In one of his adventures Flat Stanley is mailed to California for a vacation with a friend. In the story Stanley is accidentally flattened and has some adventures before returning to normal. Her class read a book called Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure! by Jeff Brown. She mailed me a packet with a journal, a cut-out drawing of herself and a letter explaining the project. My 8-year old friend, Alissa, invited me to participate in her second grade classroom project.
