Nice day for eating outside
Below are pictures of our evening potluck. Sue and Doug made sloppy joes and also a broccoli salad. All of the food was delicious!

Ate breakfast and drank our coffee. Read our Bibles outside because it was sunny and warm out. Russ and Marsha got here at 10. They visited with us outside our camper and we talked to them about what they need to do as area reps for CMA. Katie and Ray came and visited too.
At 10, we went on a group ride. There were 10 bikes today. and 18 people. It was a great ride with lots of hills and curves and also lots of beautiful lakes to see. We went through Arcadia and saw lots of swans on Portage Lake. Then we stopped at a beautiful scenic lookout by Lake Michigan. There were three swans in Lake Michigan that were pretty far out. We talked to a girl by a motorcycle and ended up doing a bike blessing for her and her boyfriend’s bike and them. She also wanted us to pray for her friend Corky who was with them, but was up on the top lookout. We prayed with her for him. Prayer is appreciated for him for God to heal him. We drove by Cristalia Lake after that. Then we rode to Empire for lunch. We went to a really good sandwich shop called Moose and Stella’s. We got chicken salad sandwiches that were huge and delicious. We left there and rode back to the campground in more amazing roads. Doug and Sue did a great job planning the rides and activities for our weekend. Russ, Marsha, Katie and Ray hung out with us for the afternoon. Gayla brought us drumsticks she had brought along. We had a fun time visiting and talking about the great things the Lord has done!!! I made chicken noodle casserole to take to the potluck along with the banana cream pudding dessert. It disappeared and so did over half of the chicken noodle casserole. I had everything done but the noodles had to be drained. I had Bill do that for me. I had cooked lots of noodles because we had people come who didn’t bring a dish to pass. We had plenty to share. I looked as Bill said these aren’t going to all fit in the crockpot. He had it heaping. I told him not to put the rest in, because we would just make buttered noodles with the extra. He had to go to the bathroom, so Russ said he would stir the noodles in for me while I went to the pavilion and helped put tablecloths on. We visited in the camper until it was time to eat at 6. Everyone helped carry stuff over with us. We ate and sat talking for a long time, then cleaned everything up and went to the campfire. More fun hanging out. Wes was voted best marshmallow roaster. Everyone had s’mores but I was too full to eat any more. Bill and I played 3-13 and dice. He was the big winner of both!
