I find that my deepest, most meaningful, thoughts occur when I first wake.
Somewhere between shaking off dreams and reconciling myself to reality, you know? Of course, the very first thought being the most inspired is a rare occurrence. Often it will be my fifth or–as it was today–my sixth thought that is the real gem.
For example…
My first thought on this lovely Georgia morning was something along the lines of: “Coffee.”
About fifteen minutes later (half-way through my cup of liquid inspiration) my second thought occurred: “It’s Friday.”
Slowly, a third: “Fridays…those are nice.”
They came more rapidly now: “Stanley the Hamster is nice.”
Aha! The genius, the brilliance, of the fifth!: “My blog friends would love Stanley.”
And finally the epiphany: “Stanley should definitely be this month’s #FreeBookFriday.”
And so, dear readers, STANLEY THE BUILDER & STANLEY’S GARAGE are indeed this month’s #FreeBookFriday. Enter to win your FREE copies below!
We <3 Stanley so very much!

Maybe Stanley should drive a dump truck or a tug boat!
Maybe, clean house!!!
I would like to see him work on power polls. He could come in and save the day by getting the power back on!
How about building a tree house?

Stanley could … drive a train! Work a lighthouse? Start a farm? Keep bees? Drive a tractor!
Build an addition to our school maybe a new gym or indoor tennis courts- thanks
I would like to see him as a vet.
Stanley could be a school bus driver!
golf course worker

Congratulations to Becky V.! You've been randomly selected as the September #FreeBookFriday!
Thanks to everyone else for your fabulous suggestions. I'll make sure William Bee sees them 🙂 Check back on Friday, October 3rd for our next #FreeBookFriday!
Stanley would look SO CUTE in a tug boat captain uniform <3
That would be a great way to teach little ones the steps to household chores!
I can already see the cover for this suggestion!
Love, love, love tree houses!
Word Lily, you're a genius.
First of all, these are brilliant. Personal favorite: Stanley the Beekeeper.
Second of all, have you already seen Spring 2015's f&gs?? Stanley is totally going to take on one of the occupations very soon!
Indoor tennis courts would be a dream come true!
Thanks, Anonymous. Now I'm picturing all those adorable little elementary school rodents that would ride the bus, and I'm too busy saying "awwww" to get anything else done today. You'll explain this to my boss, won't you?
HA! Can't you just see him driving around in a little golf cart??
This would be very fun, Beth!
Would he be a teacher?
Great idea, Denise!
