Star Dedication

I dedicate these stars to my readers and followers.  May you appreciate my abstract photography
 

This star attached to decoration on fireplace

the star that hangs above Jenna's nativity

I tried taking one on the tree.  It came more distorted than this

how it appears when lit up

I don't have pictures or even know all of my followers
but here is an old one of me and one who reads my blog

  Here are two more that Jenna took to dedicate to Ooki (here) and Bonnie

I did share this on an earlier post the year we obtained it

Ooki, Jenna (the year she turned one) and me

I Cannot NOT GO LtWobo

 

          I LOVE Jenna’s enthusiasm – which I have mentioned several times.  Even throughout this pandemic she has never lost her light.  Oh, sure, it may have dimmed a few times but the spark would never die completely. She has been so enthusiastic with “Light the World one by one” program.  As much as I hate to admit it I often do not have a proper attitude of greeting the day nor have I had the desire to fulfill each daily task challenge for “Light the World”. I do it with Jenna because of her excitement. I don’t want to contribute to dimming her light. 

I think she has posted something everyday – but as a story so it doesn’t remain for all to view. I tried to screenshot them all – though I can’t seem to locate all of them nor did I keep all the clip art pictures that she added.

  

On the 7^th day of December we painted a naked sled and took it to a man who will often give Bonnie treats.  At the time his window did not have a covering such as curtains or shades.  When we walked past his house yesterday he had covered the windows but had left the sled in the corner.

 

She did use part of the story we had made up about her 3rd great grandfather.  I did get a screenshot of that - plus I have a copy of the assignment that she had turned in. (Refer to this post)

Yesterday morning was too dark for me to drive to pick her up on time. Roland drove and on the way the way home Jenna mentioned delivering cookies but claimed she wouldn’t have time to make them due to her schedule and Roland offered to stop off at the store and we could buy cookies.  To be honest, they looked lost in the containers and the ones Jenna had picked out were not chocolate chip.  You have to have chocolate chip.  I decided to make chocolate chip after we returned home.  I mixed up the cookies so each plate or box had an assortment which included the store bought and homemade.  Didn’t really go according to plan.

The first batch I had baked came out darker than I like and so gave less time on the other two batches.  We took Bonnie for a walk and took the first cookies to a sister in our ward and asked for a suggestion on who to take the others too.  She was caught off guard and I made some suggestions.  She pointed to the neighbor across the way.  No one answered the door and as we did not have anything to leave a note with we chose not to leave the cookies but continued onto our next destination. 

We took a box of cookies to her friend who lives near the first street where we had lived in Oregon.  She was in math class when she answered the door and so did not choose another drop off either.  But we had one plate of cookies left and Jenna wanted to return to our old street to visit the pig next door (here) to the house that we had rented. She suggested that we leave the plate with them, but they did not appear to be home either.  Jenna then suggested our former neighbor across the street.  That was truly inspired as she graciously accepted the cookies and came out for a visit.  

          She told us about a friend of hers who had recently lost her dog.  She couldn’t remember the address but described it to us and we knew exactly what house she was talking about.  We returned home so that Jenna could sign into one of her classes and I put another box together. After Jenna continued with her schooling and finished her two projects, we took Bonnie on another walk and found the house of the friend.  We presented the cookies and told her who had send us and were sorry for her loss.  We continued to walk around the neighborhood and then returned home.

          For today’s light the world, we took Bonnie to the park specifically so that Jenna could walk up to Good Dogs to purchase some treats for Bonnie as well as herself.  She took this picture with my phone but I don’t see that she’s posted it.

 

In addition to "Light the World" we have also added ornaments to our wreath each day.  The wreathe is the same as from last year but smaller "ornaments" that still don't really fit in with the holiday theme - not most of them anyway.  I am not doing a day by day record of it like I did last year.  I took this picture today.
