Anna's Retired

AKA THE NUTSHELL, VOLUME 3. After my Mom suddenly died 55 yrs young, I journalled every morning over coffee. When I filled a complete notebook,it represented my life in a Nutshell, which felt "Nuts" at the time. Writing is an armor against what is bothering you, a "shell" of sorts. So I enteratined myself by flipping that journal over and writing "the Nutshell" on the front...I found it so clever I named the second notebook I filled "The Nutshell, Volume 2". Sometimes you feel like a Nut...

First week of February, Photojournal Part 2!

We are on our own this week! Mike is gone this week so it is just us four girls. Well, thanks to Nane, it was us 5 girls the first night.


What a great favor to help me out-we had such a nice time. She brought food and a video and we've made good use of them both.


We've actually been fine, but I was pretty scared. For the most part, we've done exactly what we do every week. Even with the funky weather. It's been fun, like an adventure. The only real changes are I'm sleeping on the wrong side of the bed, and eating stuff like cereal or yogurt or sandwiches for dinner. I am quite the renegade.

Here is where Ellen has been enjoying her Stranger in the woods video from Nane and her morning and nightly videos her dad made for while he is gone.












Then today she had her first Doodle Bugs ("gymnastics") class. They ran in a circle, imitated elephants, monkeys, snackes and cats, crawled through tunnels, threw and kicked balls, and did flips down a big plastic wedge. The teacher opened class by saying "this class is to wear them out!" That's money well spent right there.
