Me and Bill...we went out to the camper to put clean sheets on the bed and decided to play 3-13.  He was ahead and in the negatives and I was very positive up to the Jack round, then I started getting pat hands winning hands and ended up beating him by a lot!

Evan's class...Evan in in the middle in back of the kid in the middle that's sitting

Got up early and got ready, put many layers of clothing on, made Bill's coffee, then left on the motorcycle to go to Faith Rider's Chapter meeting.  It was 50 degrees when we left.  I stayed nice and warm with my layers and the heated seats.  There were quite a few missing as they were at Sawdust Days setting up the booth and working it.  The meeting went well.  Cindy led it because her husband Lew who is the president, lost his voice.  She did a great job and so did everyone else.  Elaine shared her testimony which was amazing and then gave the devotion.  Bill shared some about how we have to get back to doing more ministry for the Lord when we get together.   Lydia was there and was so sweet and so cute.  Her mom was at a Ladies retreat, so she was with daddy.  Jerdon is an amazing dad.  We left and 5 of us rode to the park where Seek and Ride is going to be to check it out.  It is a very nice spot to have it.   We all agreed on that.  It will be to raise money for Run for the Son.   

We went to Sawdust Days in Hemlock after that.  We found the CMA booth and Wes, Gayla and Ron manning it.  We talked to a friend of Hailey's grandpa who had been in Vietnam with Bill and was only a couple of miles away from him there.  Hailey had brought this friend home with her this summer and ended up finding out we knew her grandparents.  She sent a picture to Bill of them with her grandpa.  It sure is a small world.  

We walked around and talked to people we knew who had cars in the car show.  Bill saw some guys he used to work with and we saw Sherry and Bob and talked to them for a while.  We hung out at the booth for a while, then walked around trying to find Peyton as Vikki called and said she was going there with Morgan and her family.  We didn't see her anywhere, but there were lots of people there and it was a big area.  We did run into Stacie and Kody, and talked to them for a while.  We went back to the booth and sat for a while, and talked to people.  On our way home, we stopped and picked Vikki's sweatshirt for her that Stacie made.  We visited for a few minutes then came home.  I talked to Melissa for a while.  Her foot is doing a little better.  I sure was happy to hear that.  

The return address rubber stamp I ordered came so I tried it on the thank you cards I am sending out and it worked great.  I am going to love having that. 

We cut down all the raspberries and loaded garbage cans with them. Then we cleaned up and went out to put the clean sheets on the bed in the camper.  We had fun playing 3-13!
