We've had a visitor in our house for the past few days. His name is Flat Stanley and he is from Houston, Texas. He was telling us his story and it's pretty cool. He lives with Mom's little friend, Cool Cat. Cool Cat is the son of Mom's old roommate Rebe. Cool Cat and Stanley are doing a project for school. Stanley gets to travel and Bakri gets to tell his school about his adventures. Stanley wanted come to LA so my family is hosting him. He was going to fly here but airplane tickets cost a lot, so he hitched a ride from the Post Man. He is a pretty cool kid but he doesn't drop much food like my sister, Penny does. He is a pretty skinny guy and he doesn't eat too much. Anyhow, whatever he is eating smells good and I gave him a good lick. He is a lot smaller than my sister and sort of looks like a cookie so sometimes I want to eat him but mom said, "No Moses, he isn't a cookie, don't eat him." My sister likes to tug him. He is a good sport as he always has a smile on his face.

Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
