Yes, I'm still alive. Sorry to worry some of you. Anastasia and I have just been taking a "vacation" together, albeit at home. I haven't felt like writing at all. This past seven days have been all about sleeping late, eating Boston creme pie and double chocolate chip cookies, watching Golden Girls reruns, knitting, and cooking. I think we've been in our pjs more than out. We made an amazing Armenian lentil stew the other day and on Sunday we spent the entire day painting for our semi-annual FBI mission ( Fools Being Imaginative.) It involved five children ( including me), lots of painting and collaging and making messes.
What we do is this: we make little boxes out of wood or cardboard, decorate them and then create an inspirational or funny message to go inside them. Sometimes we include a little prize, other times only a little glitter.Then we drive all over our art-forsaken town and hide these little boxes for strangers to find. Sometimes we leave them right in the middle of a busy sidewalk, other times they are well hidden in a rocky crevice at the beach. Whatever strikes us.
We usually do the installation part in the middle of the night, but this time it was broad daylight, which was trickier. It ended up attracting the police for a bit :)
Anyway, I'll tell you more about our Sunday adventures when I get my writing groove back.
Be well, friends. I'm doing my best to do the same.
I'm glad you are both doing OK!
ReplyDeleteA project is truly successful when you've attracted a police presence :)...I love your fun and creative ways to make a difference!!
ReplyDeletePeace..
That sounds like a good time! What a good idea, a nice way to brighten a strangers day.
ReplyDeleteHoping you're feeling much better really soon. I'm still sending Reiki and have asked Archangel Michael to watch over you too. O:-)

The box idea is really neat. Might have to try that around here.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you! Hope you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteThe FBI day sounds like the coolest day ever! Mind if I steal your idea? It sounds like an awesome way to help a kid be creative AND teach them about being kind and making a difference for others without needing recognition!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Keri, just popped by to say hi and hope you're both ok? I know sometimes when you feel down blogging is not at the top of the list so wanted to say "i understand" and "miss you" too. sending you love, peace, health and happiness, Sarah xXx
ReplyDeleteOkay, Keri, where are you? I'm now worried that you've fallen off the face of the earth. I've even gone so far as to call your house, but no answer. Are you okay?!? Can I do anything?
