Flat Stanley Visits a Former Iowa Tractor Boy


Several weeks ago my Niece's Daughter asked me to host a visit of Flat Stanley to Georgia. Her daughter was involved in a school project which required "Flat Stanley" to visit a State and have his picture taken as he traveled the state. In my case, I was required to show Flat Stanley the State of Georgia. What you are viewing here is Flat Stanley at the controls of a small John Deere Tractor. This tractor performs farm work on the land where my Son lives.
I hope that Flat Stanley enjoyed his visit to Georgia. We did travel through the Pecan and Peach growing areas of Central Georgia. Additionally we visited many historical sites in Georgia. Flat Stanley will be featured in a "Power Point Presentation" which my niece's daughter is now preparing for her Fourth Grade Class. What a neat way to learn about our United States. Students teaching each other about the various States that their respective "Flat Stanleys or Flat Sarahs" visited. As I hosted Flat Stanley during this two weeks in Georgia I acquired 98 pictures that will be used in the presentation. A fun project to be sure and also an excellent opportunity for a Former Iowa Tractor Boy to connect with his agriculture roots.

Iowa Tractor Boys Enjoy Snow
This is a view of Kale Avenue, near Guttenberg, Iowa in Clayton County. This picture was taken on Saturday, March 8, 2008. Although the title of this post indicates that Iowa Tractor Boys Enjoy Snow this picture must have been taken when everyone was enjoying a hearty Dinner. The publisher of this Blog grew up on an 80 acre farm which is to the right of this plowed out Road known as C7X. In other words County Road Number 7. Just think of the equipment needed to maintain the roads in the North Country!!!!!
