Another November, Another Community Barbecue!

Yes, November. It's never rained in five years of holding community barbecues and this year was especially warm. The only problem is, with so many new people moving into our area, the barbecue park is getting pretty crowded!

The barbecue gives us a good chance to meet the families of the children and women involved in various programs.

And since the Loves are in Calgary this year, the men of my Saturday English & Bible class stepped in to help with the grilling duties. We'll have to continue this even when Loves return, since it affords us an opportunity to mingle and meet people.

You can hardly see Carol and Tomomi for all the smoke from the grill. No burnt offerings, though.

Making s'mores has become a tradition, although roasting a marshmallow takes a very long time when one is timid about getting close to the hot coals and holds the marshmallow up high.

Fifty four adults and numerous children. Thumbs up on this day as a great opportunity to meet community people!
