9/23/17...Packed up and left the campground, Ate at Bob Evans, Had a blowout on the camper tire, went to BayShore

This is the damage to the fifth wheel from the blowout.  YIKES!!!

This sweet couple serenaded us tonight while we ate.  They took requests and knew so many songs it was amazing.  Great playing and singing and so much fun for everyone.

Bill enjoying the song he requested (Jimmy Crack Corn).  He did request will you marry me Bill but that's one they didn't know

Louise enjoyed herself too and it was so much fun watching her sing along . They played a song that was sung at her wedding.

We were getting ready to leave and they had quite a group of great singers join them.

We got up and started packing.  We had planned to leave at 10:00, but were ready at 9:30. We drove as far as Kentwood and stopped at a Bob Evan's for breakfast.  We had pancakes, eggs, meat and potatoes.  I had their blueberry topping.  So delicious.  We got to Owosso and heard a funny sound and Bill could see we blew a tire on his side.  We stopped and looked and there was only a little tread hanging around the rim.  It did some damage to the camper. Bummer!  We saw a Firestone, but they were closed.  Then we were happy because we saw a Goodyear Store, but they were closed.  A policeman pulled up by us and told Bill about a Walmart and said to park somewhere and drive the truck there.  There was an art fair in town so there was nowhere to pull off.  We went to Walmart and they didn't have RV tires, but told us a half mile up the road was a tire store.  He called ahead for us to make sure they had the tires we needed.  They were really nice at the Tire place and had Bill back the camper in the shop so they could change the tires.  We got four new tires.  Got home and loaded the truck with stuff we needed from the camper.  Put the stuff away quickly and got ready.  We were supposed to pick Louise up at 4:15.  We started out for her place and I forgot the checkbook so had to turn around and go back to get it.  Good thing we were still on our road.  Called Louise to let her know we would be 10 minutes late and explained why.  We picked her up and headed to BayShore.  They had great orderves!  They also had a wonderful coffee bar where you could get as many cappuccinos, mochas, lattes, and smoothies as you wanted.  They also had an amazing dessert table.  I had a banana split cake.  YUM!  While we ate, a couple came around and sang songs and played their instruments.  They took requests too.  They were so nice and so talented.  We all had so much fun.
