Day 106 December 7

 This morning I made breakfast.  I made Sunday morning chocolate along with scrambled eggs.  After breakfast, we had church, and I was the only participant well enough to attend, so I rode with Christian and Leigha between the 2 kids.  At church, it seemed like everyone was waiting to greet us to see the new baby.  After the church service, I went over to my host family's house for lunch.  We had a mimosa soup that was so good I had to get the recipe.  After lunch, my host family took me bowling along with their son and his friend.  It was a very enjoyable time, even though I didn't play very well.  After bowling, I headed home, and then Christian and I went shopping.  We went to King Soopers first and got groceries, and then I went to the hardware store for some zip ties, and then we went to the thrift store, where I got some wrapping paper.  When we were done shopping, we went home to put the groceries away, and while we were doing that, the Ferrells showed up with some supper.  They had made a sweet potato mac and cheese, which was really good.  I also finished putting the dryer together, so that it hopefully works now.  Soon it was time for supper, and somehow I ended up with Josiah in my lap the whole time I was eating, which I was not complaining about, but I did get to practice eating with my non-dominant hand.  After supper, we had some ice cream we had bought, which was delicious, and I dripped some on the baby.  Whoops!  Then we watched Mike Martin's ordination on the church livestream, which was really good to see.  He was being ordained as a chaplin with RAWtools.  After his ordination I relaxed for a while before going 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.
