Hello, my name is Anna. My whole name is Anna Cary Bassett Boynton. Cary is the family name of my great grandmother. Bassett is the family name of my father. Boynton is the family name of my mother. And I have all of their names.

Currently I am eight and one-half -- in 2001. When I was playing with the castle I was seven and one-half. In the picture with my father I am six. And in the picture with my mother I am eight and one-half.

I have been to Yorkshire two times -- first when I was six and then when I was eight. The pigeons were my favorite friends in Yorkshire at the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey in York. Once they even sat on my head, which was great fun.

The reason I can go on trips to Yorkshire is because it is part of my school -- home school. My mother teaches me while my father sits at the computer. I loved going to Mid Summer Night's Dream by Shakespeare -- when they pulled down their pants. I laughed and laughed. And my dad even laughed. And my mom laughed. I generally love school and one of my favorite things was doing all of the interesting experiments about birds, the Maya, astronomy, and English history.

I have not told you what I like to do out of school, yet. I adore reading. Redwall is my favorite. I like to play with my dragons and I love to swim. At my apartment there is a swimming pool right down below where I can swim.

Goodbye.
