2 December 2012 - Utah Wedding

For Young Men's and Young Women's on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, our youth decorated one of two trees at our building.  This tree is the 'Angel Tree' which we use for an inter-faith Christmas giving event with the Salvation Army.  The youth also made bracelets to send to Mexico with a family in our ward that used to live in Patzcuaro and still goes back to visit almost every year.

Joanne left for Utah on Thursday to attend her mom's wedding.  In her luggage she carried a handmade pillow that Emily had lovingly embroidered.  It says: "Love Is Spoken Here  Phil and Dianne Schow  December 1, 2012".

Back on the farm, the girls had another swim meet.  This was an away meet at New Castle, about an hour and a half north of Washington, PA.  All three girls had a smashing meet, improving their times markedly in almost every event they raced.  In this photo of the 13-14 Girls 100-Freestyle, Jessica is in the lane at the top of the photo.  She's in third place at this point, but with clean turns and a strong finish, she won the event by a body length and improved her best time by 6/10ths.
