A new picture of the Johnstown Albertsons
This picture was taken on Sunday, November 22, 2009 after church. We were happy to have two families worship with us twice this month!

November bonfire with friends
On November 21, we were invited to join some friends for a bonfire, weiner roast, and devotion time in a farmer's field near LaSalle. It sounded like a fun thing to do, and we wanted to get together with the friends, so we did it. We arrived at 4 PM and the temperature was about 44 degrees. It was 34 when we went home at 8:30 PM.
Ephraim Cruz got a nice fire going. The Cruzes had brought hay bales to sit on and straw to cover some of the mud. After the nice snows we have been having in November, the field was pretty muddy, and there was still snow around.
Ephraim never donned a coat all evening, but the rest of us were not so brave!
Beth had a babysitting job and Jeff had to work until after 5 PM and came later, so they are not in this picture. (Rowen was taking the picture.)
It did get dark soon and very dark later!
We enjoyed our roasted 'dogs and marshmellows and the other salads and food that was available.
After everyone had eaten, we sang some songs and told some stories.
At the end, a new Christian burned two boxes of things she no longer wants in her life. She obeyed God and burned her bridges. I thought it was a lot like baptism--a testimony of a new life to be lived for God alone!

A short visit with friends
On November 13, a couple of Emily and Jason's friends, who now live in WY, were in Loveland for shopping. Because Emily and Amy were desperate to get together, we went shopping at the same exact moment and place, so they could see each other.
Amy and Emily talk almost every day. They play their violins to each other, and read their original stories to each other on the phone.
Daniel and Jason are techno-type friends, so Jason brought his new laptop to show Daniel. They chat a lot on line and learn and share their computer skills with each other.
November Homeschool field trip to LASP, Boulder, CO
We had so many J-M Homeschoolers at the November field trip that we were divided up into 4 groups. This is the group that had our camera in tow, in the machining room. I thought with all of us wearing safety goggles that maybe the innocent would be protected!
A couple of pictures of Jeffrey and Harrison visiting after the field trip. Harrison thinks Jeffrey is pretty nice.
