Hailey had a good check up at U of M.  She got another good report.  Praising God!  

Hailey has been getting her picture in front of Big Bird there since she was a baby!  

Beautiful Amish farms we passed

When Bill put our destination in Mapquest, it took us on very narrow, curvy and hilly roads. Not to much fun with a big camper behind you.  We came to a sharp curve and when we got around it there was a country overpass and a sharp curve the opposite way right exactly when you started coming out from the overpass.  I was afraid we were going to hit it with our camper, but we made it.  Lots of cars coming from the other way on this narrow road.  A car stopped and backed up so we could make it around that sharp curve.  I was nervous.  If I'd have been driving, I would still be sitting in front of that overpass.  Bill did a great job getting us through that.  Yikes!

They sure didn't make these roads for two campers to pass which we had to do a couple of times

The walkway in front of the restaurant was just beautiful

Isaac looking cool!  He grew so much since we've seen him last.

 We slept in as we had decided last night to leave at 9:30 a.m. for Goshen.  By the time we got ready and ate breakfast, the rain had stopped.  They had rain in the forecast for the whole day, but took it out until 6 p.m. there.  We went to Goshen, but the Dutchman Camper Place didn't have enough room for our truck and camper in their parking lot, so we didn't stop.  We headed to Shipshewana instead.  It was quite the journey there as I shared above.  When we got there, we stopped and went through the Red Barn by the Flea Market. We bought a huge homemade pretzel and a huge cinnamon roll to heat up when we get home today.  The Flea Market is only open on Tuesday and Wednesday, so we couldn't go to that.  We found a good parking spot in The Blue Gate's parking lot, and went to the Blue Gate Restaurant for lunch.  Bill had noodles and chicken and I had noodles and beef.  We tried each others and both were really good.  I brought 2/3's of mine home for later as it was very filling, especially with the yummy rolls that came with it.  We headed for home after that.  I told Bill that our friend Roy, who was a truck driver, told me last night he would never go down 69 again until it is fixed.  He went down it after leaving Shipshewana and it was so bumpy, his tire had to be fixed on his camper afterward.  I told Bill he said he would head to Jackson and take that route.  I had directions on my phone and had told Bill what exit, but he went right past it.  He decided this way was shorter so he would take it.  69 was the bumpiest expressway I have ever been down.  Vikki called, and I had her face time me to show her how bad it was.  It was that way from when we got on until when we got off many miles later.  The other way would have been quicker with having to go slower on these awful bumps.  When we got off, Bill did say he would never go on that again until it was fixed.  The rest of the ride home was good and I could actually rest and shut my eyes.  After we got home and parked, it started pouring.  I was so thankful God kept the rain away until we were home.  It would have been awful driving on those roads with it raining hard.  Vikki, Peyton and Isaac came over.  I split the cinnamon roll with Peyton and Isaac as Bill and Vikki didn't want any.  It was super delicious, and almost as good as the Hilltop.  Not as big as theirs though.  We all went out and sat in the camper once the rain was done.  Vikki helped us see what to do to fix our one door in the camper that closed hard.  Now it is so easy and no more slamming it to get it shut.  She also gave us a little end table that fits perfectly next to the couch.  It has a shelf below too.  We had to fix our closet door floor holders since the bumpy road wiggled them loose from being locked and the floor holders came out.  Bill got them ready and I got down and screwed them back in.  All is well now.  We sat out there for quite a while, then Vikki and the kids had to leave to do homework.  Bill and I unloaded some stuff, but since we are going camping again Thurs., we left lots of stuff in the camper.  Packing will be easy this time for sure.  Hailey made Impact at her school.  They travel around and sing and worship at different places.  I am so happy for her.  We enjoyed relaxing in our recliners tonight.  Home Sweet Home!
