Such a good time I've had in Washington, DC! Part of me will miss my

new family and a city so large you can meet people from all over the

world and so small you can still say howdy to a neighbor. Still, I'm

looking forward to seeing my Texas family and all the other Flat

Stanleys in my class.

Here is Shammah

giving me a lick

goodbye. Whew, am

I ever glad I have

my protective coat.

Just one more photo

before I slip down into

the my mailing box with

all my tourist collection,

and Shammah helps

carry me to the post.
