We saw three Amish Buggies while we rode to the store.  The people in them all waved to us.
Plants in my new garden are growing
Zinnias are pretty colors
Tonight I weeded this row and found tomato plants and beets

Bill read this Life Application Bible and is giving it to Adam to have and read! He's doing the boys and I am doing the girls.

Bill took the garbage and recycling out.  He had lots of yard waste containers filled and by the road too.  He went with Charlie for coffee after that.  I took my shower and got ready to go to visit Wes and Gayla at Wilson State Park in Harrison.  My doctor's office called, and Brook told me I was supposed to have a double dose shot the first time.  She said it was still within the time frame and asked if I would be able to do it or if I wanted to come in.  I told her I could. I sure was dreading it though.  I thought I had 2 weeks to build up myself to be able to do it.  Oh well, you do what you have to do.   It actually felt better when I gave the injection  myself than when the technician gave it to me yesterday.  Kimmy called to let us know Jared's brother was in a bike accident and was in the hospital.  We started praying for him right away.

Bill got home, and we were getting ready to leave when Kimmy and Jared got here to drop off Eli an Jacob.  We were happy to hear Eric didn't have any brain injury or any broken bones.  Thanking God.  Adam is going to his appointment at Henry Ford Hospital with a concussion specialist.  The boys are staying at our house and we will take Jacob to his practice tonight.
Melissa might be bringing Jack over to hang out with Eli.  Bill and I left and rode the motorcycle to visit Wes and Gayla.  We got there and they let Bill drive in free.  The kid saw his Vietnam Veteran hat.  We found their site, then visited for a few minutes outside, then they showed us their new motorhome.  It's used, but it's a very nice one that has been well taken care of.  We really liked the way it is set up. We sat inside and visited for a while, then took the food out to the picnic table and ate a delicious meal of Amish lunchmeat (ham, turkey, and roast beef) sandwiches and chips.  We also enjoyed sweet cherries that were delicious.  Then we had Amish homemade cherry pie that tasted amazing.  After we cleared the table and put the food away, we went for a walk down by the beach and around part of the campground.  
We came back to their campsite and sat and visited until 4, then we got ready to leave, so we would have time to stop at the Amish Store and be home in time to make sure Jacob had something to eat and got to his practice on time.  We bought sliced meat like Gayla served us, bread, chocolate chip cookies and Bill got some salsa.  We got home around 5:30.  Jack was there, and he and Eli were playing ping pong.  Papa went down to play with them for a while too.  I made spaghetti and then we all ate before Jacob had to leave.  Jack and Jacob said they loved my spaghetti.  I love cooking for them!!!!

I took Jacob to his practice and then came back home and started weeding the garden.  Melissa came after I was about halfway done with my row.  She offered to help, but I didn't want her getting her tennis shoes dirty.  She ended up coming in the garden anyhow and helped pull some weeds.  What a sweet daughter.  We sat around the fire pit on the swings and visited until lit was time to go pick up Jacob.  Kimmy called and said they could pick him up, but they would have to let Jacob know they would be 10 minutes late.  I insisted that I pick him up on time, so they could just come to our house to get him and Kimmy let me have my way, even though it took me some time to convince her.   Melissa went with me to get him.  Bill stayed with the boys and they kept swimming.  Jacob came out right away and we headed home...We had quite an adventure on the way home!  

Kimmy, Jared and Adam got there shortly after we got home.  I was going out to cover the pool and Jared and Adam did it for me.  It was so nice of them.  We visited for a while and told them about our adventurous ride home, then everyone left for home.  

Vikki called me today and told me she found a SkipBo game for the camper.  Yay, as I forgot to take mine with me this time camping.  It will be nice not to have to haul one back and forth, but just have one both places.  What a great family I have!
