Monday, 7/14/25, Bruce and Melissa invited me for breakfast, Jack came and told Evan and I, I came home and got Bill, Bruce and Melissa and the boys went to Taras, Bill and I went to Tawas, went by Harbor Church, stopped and saw nephew Freddy, shopped, G’s pizza, Melissa and Bruce left for home, Bill and I packed changing room, and the tent

 

We went by Harbor Church where we are doing a motorcycle visit next Sunday.  Then we looked up our nephew, Freddy’s address and went by to look at his house.  He was outside, so we stopped to see him.  He was so happy we stopped.  We talked quite a while and found out the church we are visiting next Sunday is where he and his family go.  We were all so excited to find that out.  Can’t wait for next Sunday now.  The baby and Jobe were sleeping and Freddy said Ash was too.  Bummer we didn’t get to see them.  We will next Sunday though.

Bill took a selfie of all of us.  They have been doing lots of remodeling to their house.

Jack ran into his friend from school there

Nice action picture Melissa took.

Fun at G’s having pizza, pop, breadsticks and cinnamon sticks

I was taking a picture of the cute lights on the ceiling and how cute the porch was decorated, so told Melissa to look.  I should have told Max lol.

Badger and Vader laying by each other while we ate.  So nice that G’s is pet friendly

Love driving by the water.  Lake Huron was beautiful today.  I had a handsome driver too!

Some waves and a Seagul

Evan slept on the couch air mattress.  We stayed up until 1 after we watched the Forge.  I knew he would be tired, so told him he could sleep in.  I was tired too, but got up at 8 so I could do my hair.  We folded the sleeping blanket and picked up the bedding, then put the couch back as a couch.  Evan ate a bowl of cereal and I was just about to when Jack came to our camper and told us his dad was making a big breakfast and asked if we wanted to come have some.  Of course we did.  I didn’t eat the cereal and thankful he came in time that I didn’t.  Bruce made yummy eggs, fried potatoes and sausage.  We ate at their campsite.  They decided they would just go to Tawas to the Dog Park.  I left to go home and pick up Bill.  I took Eli’s bike and tent strap home, Adam’s Bible and notebook, and Vikki and Peyton’s stuff.  I let them know it was there.  I forgot to take Vikki’s dog treats.  Bummer!  Bill was going to mow the grass, but it wasn’t that long and was so dry, I told him it wasn’t going to grow much by Wednesday when we come home.  I told him it would be fun to go to Tawas and Melissa and her family going there.  I fed birds, put chlorine in the pool, picked some lettuce and a kohlrabi for Bill and gave Kit Kat some needed attention.  Bill got his stuff ready he wanted to take up north and we left.  We decided to go right to Tawas.  When we got in town, he asked me to look up the church address we are going to next Sunday so we could drive by it.  It was such a nice looking building, that I said to Bill, I wonder if Freddy and Ashton go here?  I said I would have to ask her.  Bill wanted to drive by Freddy’s house too, so he looked that up.  We haven’t been there yet.  We drove by and I told him I thought I saw Fred outside.  We turned around and went back and it was Fred.  We got big hugs and visited, then Bill took our selfie.  We were so happy it was their church we will be going to.  I told Freddy how proud we are of them following Jesus and serving Him.  He said how happy they are doing that.  We went through a few really nice shops and I bought a cute top.  Then we went to my favorite store there, the Ben Franklin.  I got a cute prism with cute beads that hang to give to Marie when I see her next.  I talked to her on our way up north and she is doing great and already at rehab.  Yay!  Bill had texted Bruce and they were going to meet us at G’s after they were done at the beach.  We left Freddys and went to G’s and sat out on their porch.  Bruce and family were supposed t come in 15 minutes, so we ordered the pizza and waited for them.  It wasn’t long and they came and we got to sit in our usual spot on the porch.  We all loved the cinnamon bread sticks, regular breadsticks and pizza.  It was all so good.  We had asked Freddy and family to come, but he had to do some work for his job online.  We all were full when we left there.  Melissa and Bruce drove by Freddy house to look at it.  Then we all headed back to the campground.  We got there and about 3 minutes later Bruce and Melissa pulled in.  Bruce and Jack started packing up to leave and Melissa and Evan came over and visited us.  Bill and Evan shared some of Evan’s donuts, so I got our donuts out for Melissa and I and shared with them too.  

It sure has been fun camping with them. Before they left, Bruce and Evan moved the big picnic table out of our clam for us.  I was so thankful.

Bill and I packed up the outside changing room, the tent, some extra chairs. Then we played a game of 3-13 which I won and a game of dice which I won.  I had to pick up both games, but it sure was worth it.  Winner picks up!  I let Adam know I was missing him today.
