Melissa and Bruce...such a cute couple

Kimmy had her first Oriole!  I put jelly out and made oriole food and put it out

Vikki had a bird at her new bird bath she found along side the road

We got ducked today!  Such a cute one!

One nice birthday gift for Melissa....Abby was eating really good today

Cake Bruce made Melissa.  The topping was his dirt recipe which we all loved.  

Jack, Melissa and Evan

It sure was warm by her cake.  50 candles on it!  She sure didn’t blow them out with one blow.

Handsome grandson, Adam, and his beautiful girlfriend Hope.  Prom is tonight!  Hope they have lots of fun!

We read our Bibles, then got ready and went to help in the Faith Rider’s CMA booth at the Walleye Fest.   Don, Ron and Barb were there and had things all set up.  Elaine got there shortly after and then Wes and Gayla came.  It was cool, 48 degrees and a little windy, but not as bad as last year.  We talked to people going by our booth and handed out some tracks, Bibles, and CMA fans.  Bill walked around and invited some venders to come to our State Rally and set up on Labor Day weekend.  My motorcycle gloves I got last year in Arkansas, blew off the motorcycle last night.  I was telling Don, Elaine and Gayla about it and how I didn’t go looking for them because we had everyone following us and it was getting pretty cool out and windy, so didn’t want to hold everyone up.  Well, Don left and came back with one of my gloves.  That was so kind of him to go look for them.  He left after that because he had been there since 8 a.m.  Bill and I walked around and talked to venders and gave some kids CMA kid coloring books and crayons.  Bill bought me a big chocolate chunk cookie with marshmallow inside.  It was so delicious!  Melissa called me and asked me to go with her and Hailey to Auntie Anne’s and get a free cinnamon sugar pretzel.  She told me they were going to kidnap me and take me there.  She was so cute.  Bill and I left and we drove and found my other glove.  I sure was thanking the Lord!  Bill had to go volunteer for the Marine Corp. League at Walmart.  I met Melissa, Hailey and Evan at Auntie Anne’s after I downloaded the AP so I could get my free pretzel.  It was very yummy! 

I worked on my Sunday School lesson some more.  Wes and Gayla dropped the prayer box I took for the booth today off.  I did some laundry and then made up oriole food and put everything out for the orioles since Kimmy had one.

In the evening, we went to Melissa and Bruce’s.  Hailey was still there and ate Sloppy Joes with us, but after about an hour she had to go back to her apartment. We all had cake and ice cream after that, and then had fun hanging out for a couple of hours.

Vikki sent me prom pictures she took of Hope and Adam.  She took really good ones.  I will post them on here tomorrow though.  Ran out of time tonight, since church starts earlier now.
