In March, 2008, Jadia Westbrook folded me up and sent me on a “mini” vacation to her Gammy’s house in Dallas, Texas, USA.
Anyway…. back to my vacation in Dallas, TX
The name Texas comes from an Indian name that means friends.
Where in the world is Texas?

Did you know…

our state flower is the bluebonnet?
our state mammal is the longhorn?
Yep, I’m smart
Journal Entry
Gammy had lunch waiting for me when I arrived. Boy, that was the best sandwich in the world. I was hungry. I even got a cookie for dessert…well sort of.
Dear journal, FINALLY, I arrived at Jade’s Gammy’s house. As soon as she opened the envelope, I jumped out and gave her a big hug. ( I think I scared her) I didn’t mean to. I was just happy to get out of that stuffy envelope!
I met Jenny. That’s Gammy’s dog. She’s a Dalmatian. She’s 11 years old.

Did you know…
Dalmatian puppies are born pure white, and don’t start getting their spots until they are a few weeks old? How many is a few?
Dalmatians are very smart and will become very sad if they are not allowed to be around their family on a regular basis.

Gammy took me to Wal-Mart so I could buy some film for my camera.
Yep, I know…I’m lucky!

Dear journal,
Today is Easter and we went for a special picnic at the Dallas Arboretum with all of Gammy’s friends.
We played games and Gammy even read me a story in the flower garden.
The tulip garden reminds me of the tulip fields in Holland.
Gammy made all kinds of yummy food. My favorite was the chocolate strawberries!
This was a perfect Easter!
Love, Stanley
