Bluffton & Ossian, Indiana

Flat Stanley went on another journey west, this time stopping in Bluffton & Ossian, Indiana to stay with Emma's Great Aunt Barbara & Great Uncle David.  

Here is what Great Aunt Barbara had to say about their visit with Stanley...

What day did Flat Stanley arrive?  Tuesday, Ocotber 9, 2012
Where is Flat Stanley? Visiting our home in Bluffton, Indiana and David's office in Ossian, Indiana


What is the weather like today? On Tuesday Oct. 9, 2012 it was sunny and 62 degrees. The day we left Bluffton to come to Pittsburgh for Christmas, Friday Dec 21st. it was snowing and 32 degrees.
What are some fun things to do in your area? There is not a lot of entertainment in our area, but we like to play games with family and friends, we drive to Fort Wayne to go to the movies and shop, and we travel to other places to visit family and see new places.
What did you do with Flat Stanley during his visit?
He really liked playing with our dog, Copper. She is not really a police dog, she is our pet, but she does belong to a policeman and his family, and because she is Copper colored, we named her Copper. She let Flat Stanley climb up on her head and take rides.


Flat Stanley liked hanging out at the police station with the chief. He met a lot of people there and got to look at Chief Rigney's police patch collection and played with some police toys they had there. He even got to use the little police car they had there.  He is bringing home an Ossian Police patch as a souvenir. Stanley enjoyed riding in the police car with the Chief and making traffic stops when people broke the traffic laws and helping people when they had accidents or other problems.










Anything else to add? Bluffton and Ossian are small towns in a rural area, surrounded by corn and soybean fields. Stanley saw Amish people in their horse drawn buggys on the road and they dressed differently than us. There are a lot of farms where you can buy fresh eggs and meat. He got to see cows and horses and a small pony on the way home.
We brought Stanley home for Christmas because he wanted to be home with his family for the holidays. We enjoyed Stanley's visit and hope you all have fun hearing about his many adventures.
Thanks for letting us have Stanley for awhile, and we hope you all had a Merry Christmas and have a blessed New Year.

Thank you, Great Aunt Barbara & Great Uncle David for showing Stanley such a wonderful time!  I think he may want to be a Police Chief when he grows up!!
