Plant Life ~ SP4 ~ page 74

This summer when we had a garden, I helped harvest food to take to our local homeless shelter.

Home Improvement ~ SB4 ~ page 34

We got an old dresser that was missing a drawer off freecycle. We threw the body of the dresser away and used the drawers to make bookshelves. We nailed it together, painted it dark brown, and decoupaged the inside with pages from an old book.

Pets ~ SB3 ~ page 70

I started training Kelly to do tricks like sit, lie down, and roll over. I also trained him not to jump up on people, to wait at street corners, and not to run out in the street after a car. He is improving, but he still has a long way to go. Ways that I can discipline Kelly sending him to his crate, withholding treats, saying no forcefully, and spraying him with water. It is reasonable to expect a dog to obey simple commands.
