I need your help please

My friends I need to ask something from you, my grand daughter Aliza lives with me and she is 7 and in 1st. grade she needs postcards sent from other states and countries to show where the Gingerbread Man has been. Will you please do that for me I'll owe you big time if you will and I'll make it right. This is to study geography, they will be marking his destinations on our world map and discussing all his locations. Thank You Janie

This is the letter from the Gingerbread Man:
Hi I am the Gingerbread Man My friend Aliza Jane was reading a story about me in 1st. grade. I decided to jump out of the storybook and come visit you. I know my friends back at North Vernon Elementary are wondering about where I have run to. Please help them by sending a picture postcard showing something about the area where you live. This picture post card will be posted on a large map of USA in the classroom. I know my friends and their teachers will enjoy hearing from you and learning where I have run! Thank you for your help Got to go! The Gingerbread Man

The Gingerbread man was here but he didn't stick around. I heard him mumbling that it was too darn cold.
A NH card will be on the way with my next trip to town.

She definitely needs a postcards from Finland.
I'll take care of that!

What a fun thread!

Howdy Aliza JANE! I was wondering if you are related to one of our family members! This is a pic of RosieJANE (doing her homework on my desk!).

Hoping you are having a great Thanksgiving Day!

Keep smiling!
Your friend, Horseshoe!

Ursula I sure hope it makes it in time for me to see, but if not this will be going on for awhile I'm sure of that. Thank You. Aliza Jane said he sure is going fast and he can surf to. Janie and Aliza

Now I think I better get the map out for this one, My goodness
we are going to see where you and the Gingerbread Man are at. I'm sending Ol Grampa after the map Thank you

One coming from up north. Just printed it out. Not much scenery around here, just more cornfields like you probably have there in Indiana. Love these kind of school projects.
Should beat the heck out of bookwork all the time.
Bernie
Almost forgot, Gingerbread man had his wife along here for some homemade fudge!
