Anja's world

My thoughts on the Deathly Hallows

   I waited to post this until Kelli and Belinda were done with the book.  I tore right into like I have in all the books. How can you not? They are so easy to read, even if you have only one good eye! I am, however paying for it today.  I guess I have just always been able to read so fast, and I still can, but it is hard to slow that down. I should have read it over a couple of days, but I just could not put it down. Bloody EYES. If only Harry hadn't buried Mad Eye Moody's  I could have used it.
   I loved the book.  I cried like a baby in many parts, but I was happy with the ending. Today I am honestly sad that it is all over. I can't believe there won't be more. 
   On Friday, grandma starting reading the first book.  She said, "I guess I should see what all the fuss is a bout." So she started the first book at age age 88, and Anja at 4. I was a little surprised that Anja listened so well to book without pictures. Later, I took Anja to the Barnes & Nobel with Belinda and Tom at around 10.  There was at least a 1000 people there.  The store had all kinds of stuff going on such as: trivia, a potions demonstration, costume contest, and a countdown.  I think Anja would have gotten a prize if we had gotten there early enough to get a number.  They still let her walk in the parade and stand in front of the judges, one of which was Dumbledore. They wanted to know her number to later give her a prize, but she didn't have one.  She didn't know the difference, and was just glad to be in the parade. I am glad we were there for the last release and I got a few good shots.  A man dressed as Mad Eye Moody won the adult contest, the young Harry won the kids. They were father and son.
I hope everyone enjoyed the book and these pictures.
      

It's 9:15....

And all I can think about is the new Harry Potter book.  I have avoided all spoilers and will be at a bookstore at midnight. More on that tomorrow. 
   I know I won't be able to ripe through the pages like I used too, stupid, stupid eyes.  I may have to read, and then take a break and listen to the audio version, which Belinda is buying.  She always buys them, but this time she is buying it a little early with the book.  I wonder why?  Thanks

The bees have set up shop. I guess whatever is killing the bees is not going on around my house.  I will be calling bee keepers to come and get them starting tomorrow.  

Anja Art

Here is a drawing done by Anja that we just scanned into the computer together, in fact she is helping me with this post. I expect her to be blogging by the time she is 5. Anja says "To cousin Lia, I miss you and I am going to send you a card, and I am sorry that you are not coming here today."  Then she says "Mom does cousin Lia know how to climb trees?"
What a Hoot
