Thursday, 5/8/25, Happy 84th Birthday to Wes, slept in til 8. Packed stuff, Bill read his Bible, Worshiped, filled jelly feeders, fed fish, two dishes of food out for Kit Kat, Bill loaded clothes baskets I had filled into my car, left for our camping trip to Billings Lake Campground, unloaded trike, set up camper stuff,,had Jeff for dinner, walked around and visited friends, sat around campfire

All of the rain sure made our new grass grow

My flower garden is looking so nice

Pretty building ahead on our drive!

I got this beautiful picnic table cover with bands that go around the ends at our Christmas party.  Julie got it for a girl’s gift. I had seen hers when we camped so I picked it when it was my turn to steal from someone.

I love these two cute chicks in the picture of Kimmy and Jared’s little apple tree.  

This tree if Kimmy’s is so cute too and her garden looks beautiful in the background!  

 We got ready.  I listened and worshiped to amazing worship by Phil Wickham.  Then I made our coffee in our Yeti mugs! Went over my list and packed everything that was still not crossed off the list.  Bill packed his last minute stuff.  When I got the clothes baskets all filled, Bill carried them out to my car and then he took his shower while I drove back by the motor home and hauled everything in and put it away.  I filled jelly feeders for orioles. I saw one eating this morning.  I fed my fish extra too.  Filled Kit Kats self feeder up and put it by her house on the back porch. Put a metal dis filled out on the front porch in case a critter gets into the one in back.  I watered my plants in the house. I put the slide out in when I had stuff in the inside done.  Bill loaded the trike in the trailer and then hooked it up to the camper Then we were on our way.  It was a beautiful drive with the sun shining.

We unloaded the trike and Bill parked the trailer, then we  parked the motor home. We got there and parked right behind Jeff and Kathy.  We talked to Wendy and Shawn wo parked next to us.  3 year old Maverick stayed mexand had Oreos while they set up stuff in their camper.  He is so sweet! I just love him.  Kathy had taken her mom to an appointment in Ludington, so we had Jeff come in and eat chili and strawberry shortcake with us.  I read my Bible, then went outside and Maverick wanted me to throw a ball with him.  After a half hour I was tired, so went and sat by the campfire with everyone. It was cute because Maverick moved his little chair from the other side of our circle over by me.  We all had fun visiting around the campfire.  Finally it got too cold so we all went to our campers.  Bill and I played 3-13 and Dice.  I was ahead a little until the last hand and he went out and got me good!  He beat me at dice too!  I was talking to Melissa in the phone the whole time so that could be why lol!  I worked on my blog, then we were going to bed.  It was supposed to get down in the 30’s so I asked Bill how our propane was doing.  He said we had enough to last a year.  We went to bed, I had my electric throw, so my side of the bed was all warm and toasty.  We went to sleep and I never heard the furnace come on.  At 4:30 in the morning, Bill got up and turned on the little electric heater.  It was pretty cold for him to do that.  I never got out of bed and stayed super warm all night.
