Return to Hoth

So here's Jason working on our newest set for the Star Wars series.  We're back on Hoth again, as the snow on the stage lends itself to that world.  I mean, there are other snow planets in the Star Wars galaxy, such as Maldo Kreis, Ilum, Vandor, Krownest, or Orto Plutonia.  But despite actually remembering these as I looked them up, none are as iconic as Hoth.  So Hoth it is once more, the best sort of planet to build on stage when you have snow and ice already there.  Incidentally, that snow and ice has been there since 2019, quite some time!

Madison had Live to Give today, gluing chocolate kisses to hearts, for items to sell so they could raise money for Hoops to Hearts.  They sold a whole lot of these afterwards, making as much as fifty dollars.  Tonight was piano class, so that meant a quick jump over to Gainesville for her weekly lesson there.  She was listening to Camille and Lauren's small group tonight, as she does each and every week.  It was about Ruth, a true romance story from the Bible, and part of their ongoing discussion of great women from the Bible.  It was nice to listen to from the driver's seat as Madison hears as well.  Of course, she loves the games too - it's a great small group.  Lots of fun!

Madison was doing some math homework tonight, still on quadratics.  She also was doing some grid work for her latest art project, which will be a waterlily that she's working on.  We'll post pictures, of course!

Nana has been watching dogs on television lately.  There's a recent show where Bill Farmer, the voice of Goofy, goes to visit various dogs as they do jobs like search for survivors, do stunts, or help Paralympic runners.  It's been interesting - that's our programming lately, different animal programs.

I've been reading "Interesting Times" this month, and coincidentally we're approaching Chinese New Year.  It's a great book so far, made even greater by the presence of Rincewind, and his luggage too!  There's an interesting threat to the Patrician Vetinari too, which holds a bit of possible promise of an interesting conflict.  We'll see!

Anyway, we said our prayers tonight after reading, along with all the fun nightly rituals... and we were asleep much earlier.  It's a school night!
