Day 98 November 29

 Today I got up early and ran over to the house and got my bed sheets to wash.  When I got back, we had breakfast, then headed out to a toy store to do some shopping for Adopt a Family.  We were shopping for a family with three little kids, so we found lots of stuff they would enjoy.  After the toy store, we went to Target to get the kids some clothes and some other toys we could not find at the toy store.  After Target, we had to run to Walmart to get them a gift card since that was the preferred store.  When we got back to the house, we ate some lunch and then got to work wrapping gifts.  While we were wrapping gifts, Sophia and Dad went back to the toy store and got some books for the kids since we thought we should include those.  Wrapping gifts took quite a while, but it was fun.  After the gift wrapping, we went over to the unit house and baked some pies and some peppernuts.  We also took all the wrapped presents over.  Baking was really fun, and then we went back to the house for supper.  After supper, we watched some movies, and then Dad took me back to the unit house for the night since we had a meeting in the morning.  I took the leftover desserts back to the unit house for people to enjoy.  When I got back to the unit house, it was pretty late, so I just went right to bed.

Day 28

We got up at 3:30, hoping to hit the road at 4 and then be on the trail at 4:30.  We were pretty close to on time.  We were hiking Mount Princeton.  Since we were in a van, we had to hike from the lower parking lot up a Four Wheel Drive trail for 3 to 4 miles.  When we finally hit single track, it didn't take long for us to be rock scrambling.  We had about 3 miles of rock scrambling to the top.  About half of it was just along the side of the mountain, but then we really turned uphill and had a pretty steep scramble to the top.  We finally made it to the top, and it was an amazing view for a little bit.  A snowstorm was moving in quickly, and we watched it start from a nearby mountain and slowly come toward us.  We had a slippery scramble down the shale on the mountain.  Then the snowstorm caught us, and it was kind of just a sleet, but it made all the rocks very slippery.  By this point, some people were fighting headaches.  ...

Day 32

Today was pantry day.  Since Trilby hurt her finger yesterday, she tagged along with me to the pantry.  I started by running to Home Depot to get a wagon wheel for the wagon at the pantry.  When I got back from Home Depot, we picked up Doug and went over to the pantry.  Jenni was sick today.  We dropped Doug off at the pantry and then went to pick up the food at Sprouts and Trader Joe's.  We had a relatively light haul from Sprouts, but a fairly substantial haul from Trader Joe's.  We got everything put away in the pantry in record time and then had time for a good, long lunch break.  There were not a lot of good options for lunch, but eventually I found a pretty good sandwich.  After lunch, we started the pantry and had about 20 to 30 people come through.  It was not that many people at the end of the month, because usually by that time their government funds have run out.  Once we hit about 2 o'clock, we pretty much didn't have an...

Day 26

Today I was with maintenance again.  We started off by going to Arcadia to do some inspections.  These rooms were much better kept than the last apartment we did inspections in.  We only had to do 3 rooms, so it didn't take long.  Then Bill took me over to Bentley, where I continued taking pictures again.  I did pictures most of the day, and then Bill picked me up at about 3:30 and we headed back to the office.  It was my day to cook, so I decided to make a pizza, which turned out pretty well.  After supper, we decided to try another community youth group for young adults again.  It was kind of like a church service with singing and a sermon.  I was not super into it because it was a non-denominational group, and they just do things a little differently.  On the bike ride home, my chain fell off while crossing the bridge over the highway.
