I won a $25 gift certificate to this boutique in Sebewaing.  It's right across from Luke's Market and I never noticed it when we were there for family camp

Our garden is super tall this year

Kit Kat was happy to see us when we got home

Our Hibiscus is beautiful with all these blooms and more coming

Got up early and got ready to go on the motorcycle.  It was in the 50's when we got up, but was 64 when we left this morning.  We went to Faith Rider's Chapter meeting.  It was a good meeting with much prayer for some members going through big things right now.  We prayed over a quilt someone made for Dawn who has been battling cancer for 2 years and just was admitted to the hospital last night with pneumonia.  

The officer's shared, then Bill shared about the State Rally.  After the meeting, we went on a motorcycle ride to Colling Church of God.  There were 14 in the group from our two chapters. We joined the large group and went on an hour long ride to raise money for Shop with a Hero.  We stopped with Elaine and Cheryl, because Elaine needed gas in Pigeon.  The four of us just rode back to the church.  We snacked on donuts and cookies until the big group came back a half hour later.  The people of the church served us pulled pork sandwiches, coleslaw, baked beans, and chips.  They had lots of tables and chairs set up outside under the tent to eat at.  The pastor gave a good devotion, then started drawing names for prizes.  Everyone was given a free ticket.  They drew every name, but 9 of us who they had stand.  Everyone had won nice prizes but us.  Then the pastor said the last 4 standing would win $50.  Boy then we were not wanting to have our name drawn.  She drew Marsha's, then my name.  I was happy to get a $25 to a really cute Boutique in Sebewaing.  Bill had already won a bottle of real maple syrup.  We rode home with our Faith Rider group, then went to Meijer to pick up Wes and Gayla's van to park at our house.  They are going on a bus tour to Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone to celebrate their 60th anniversary.  We relaxed once we got home.  We were both tired.
