Post-Camp Post: an attempt

I’ve had a few people email me and ask about Camp Shutter Sisters, and those I’ve met in person have all asked. So maybe it’s about time I try to put my feelings into words about this experience. Which is hard because the feelings run deep and strong, and I find myself at a loss for words (which is very, very rare for me).

First full day of Camp

Today was so full, and so incredible, that it will take me a long time to process it and share it.  Or maybe I will never share it.  Not all of it, anyway.  Some things are just meant to be taken in, digested, and then tucked away in the heart forever.

Waiting to leave STL

It’s a photography trip, so we’re all documenting our journey to meet. It’s awesome to think of all these like-minded women coming together. So very cool.

Why it’s so hard to leave

I’m not sure which one of us was more upset at the airport. I couldn’t help but think, “What the f*ck am I doing?!”
I told her that when she gets older, she’ll go with me on trips like this. I can only hope she’ll still want to.

Highs…and one low-down dirty move

Holy weekend fun!  We had a photo walk, a photography garage sale, a football game, and a bonfire / hayride – and that was just Saturday.  (Somehow in there I managed to also get the house vacuumed, although the vacuum still lingers in the hallway so I suppose that project isn’t quite completely finished.)  Sunday brought mass, a trip to the pumpkin patch, a soccer game, and a roast beef/potato pancake dinner.  (Somehow in there M managed to also get some work done for the Christmas display – we’re quite industrious!)
