Donna's new job...

[jantur]

Anne, I'm loving hearing of your stealth tree trimming. You should take a picture and show us what it looks like, but maybe not until you (and you helper/helpers) have had a chance to do some more decorating!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Thank you Anne and Dale and Donna and everyone that is doing the hanging of the ornaments!
It sounds so wonderful. 
Anne, it sounds as though you are having the best fun in depositing your ornaments in
the places you have mentioned. 
Dale, your ornaments sound precious.
Donna, your new job is great inspiration!
Maybe more of us will be inspired by all of your acts.

Oh Shaky...  Why do I sense sarcasm dripping off the page?  Sorry you're still annoyed...  I understand and can accept that... *sigh*

Nah, Shaky's not annoyed.  That's him being happy.

I guess some of you didn't see my first post...  Here's what I said and I'm afraid that I still feel very strongly about this...  It's why I have gone to such lengths to describe the whole adventure to all of you...tried to give you a feeling of the emotions that it's exuding...

"I also thought about taking daily photographs, but decided that things like this are best left to the imagination...  That my memories will always be much clearer than a photograph.  Because a photo wouldn't capture my reasons for doing this, the feelings that others may have..."

I'm sorry if you are disappointed...  Use your mind's eye to see this tiny incursion into my surrounding neighbourhood.  Sorry...

I'm heading out in a few minutes to hang my next contribution...a fairly large candy cane, skillfully crafted by a (then) 7 year old nephew...

I would like to believe that Carol... You know him a whole lot better than I do...  Thanks!

Let’s see... In the end there will be about 18 decorations!  How amazing that this tiny display can cheer a large group of people, when City Hall spends millions of dollars for their display and ours is free...loved...and, well, priceless!!

See what fun you've started

Still cold outside!  But the wind has gone down quite a bit.  All the decorations are still there and I attempted to anchor the construction paper loop chain in place better...  It had been broken into 3 pieces by the wind, so I just spread the colour around some.  I think it will stay put now...as long as we don’t get any snow...  We’ll cross that bridge if and when...  I can always make another, if the person responsible for it doesn’t replace it.  There was no one around and no further ornaments – but the last two arrived after my rather late visit last night...  More night owls, eh!   Anyway, I tied the Candy Cane up as high as I could, with some good strong red ribbon, so that it won’t blow around with the wind.  Looked good!  I’m really surprised that all have remained in situ...  Is there some kind of aura that goes along with festive projects that protects them?  Frankly, I’m surprised that there hasn’t been some kind of interference!  Feels good!  But I’m not unrealistic, either!  What will be, will be. 

Night all!

Kudos!

You're doing a really good thing Anne!  Bringing joy to yourself and others.  That can NEVER be bad.

Thanks, Shaky.  I really do appreciate your comment!  Sorry I've grown skeptical in my old age...guess I'd better work on that!
