Peyton and Isaac helped Vikki set up the clam to surprise us

I got up at 5 a.m. Took shower, got ready, packed last minute things, fed birds, washed garden veggies to take, put slide outs in in campers. Bill led the way with his motorcycle, I drove the motorhome and Isaac rode with me, Vikki drove my Prius and Peyton rode with her.  We came the back way down Salzburg.  We all helped setting the camper up and the outside stuff. Bill and I left to go to the Veterans Appreciation Event in Frankenmuth.  Vikki sent me a picture saying surprise!  She and the kids set up the Clam for us!  That was the best surprise! Thank you Vikki, Peyton and Isaac!!!  We sat with Doug and ate with him, and talked to him a long time and prayed with him, we saw Gordy, then we saw Pat and some other guys from the Marina Corp League.  We covered sitting at the booth for a while and talked to people. Debbie and Tom weren’t there when we were there. Debbie called me and said she was there in the morning to help set up then had to work at an event at the Lions Club.  

We found out Bill is number 31 on the list now for the veterans honor flight where they fly them to Washington DC. He will go either this fall or in the spring.  Exciting!

We went to Rody’s because we forgot our step for the camper at our house and my little jewelry box.  He picked them up for us and had them at his house so we wouldn’t have to go so far.  That was sure nice of him!  We were very thankful.

We stopped at Speedway and got a pic pop with lots of ice for our trip back to BayShore.  

We got back to BayShore and Wes and Gayla came to visit.  I was making potatoes for the grill.  We had a nice visit.  Hailey came up.  She’s camping behind us.  She and Vikki set up our tent for her. We all ate burgers, potatoes and corn.  The grate of our Coleman Grill melted a hole through it! Unbelievable!  

We went to the evening service. Amazing Worship and awesome message.  Hailey and Mia sat with us.  

Ice cream afterwards and visits with Wes, Gayla, Dave, Becky, Bev and Jim, Paul and his family.
