Anastasia gets the award for being out and about the longest this evening.  Xander stayed holed up in his room, Bruce and I had a meeting and coffee date, and Anastasia went to the high school production of Frankenstein.

She’s showing off her new iTouch case.  Bruce was telling us the origins of the Keep Calm and Carry On catch phrase which is so popular nowadays.  The inspirational slogan originally appeared on a World War II-era British poster, intended to strengthen morale in the event of a large-scale attack or occupation.  More than million of these posters were originally commissioned. Most were destroyed, but a poster resurfaced in 2000, the message was shared online, and the rest is history.

Woo-hoo, the guys Lands End order arrived.  They now have rashguards for the summer Colorado rafting trip.  Sunglasses, check.  Clothes, check.  Need loads of sunscreen and more reservations… hard to think sun when it’s been so cold and dreary.

Tonight we went on an adventure with the trailer.  Sandi has needed a couch for awhile, and last night I got an e-mail about a couch trying to find a new home, wondering if anyone on the adopted block needed it.  Perfect!

The couch lives four driveways past the yellow cat on a stump in the far reaches of winding Longview roads.  Not so fun with the trailer. 

In town Bruce can drive forward in circles until he gets where he wants to be.  I warned the guy that we don't back the trailer up. We’re unconventional, walking it down the driveway, but get the job done… eventually.

“I don’t do u-turns.” – Bruce, when the GPS had a spasm

Bruce decided it was time for a family photo, and I am always wanting family photos.  Of course there’s not a shot where all four of us look great.  So I get to pick.  There’s a glare on my glasses and an angel coming out of Xander’s head, but such is life…

Today Anastasia, Sasha, and I did a two hour Zumba-thon to support a thespian fundraiser.  My first Zumba experience.  I’m not very coordinated and not a very good dancer, but the instructors did a great job of making it low stress and fun.

Here we are – Judy, Tracy, Carolyn, and me.  Day 2 of scrapbooking, minus some time to do some church activities.  I didn’t get two albums completed as I had hoped, but got way more done than I did at home, and got to eat myself silly besides.

TGIF!

This weekend I'm scrapbook retreating.  Almost got my Move More Eat Well acrylic album completed.

Time to rest up for another productive day tomorrow...
