Regan, Peyton and Ava
Me and Eli...I am holding a coupon book he gave me when he was little and I have the coupon in my hand that says he’d give me a big kiss....I am puckered, but I haven’t got that kiss yet lol. I did give him one of the coupons for doing kind things and helping, and another one that said sleep over at my house...I still have lots of fun coupons. There’s no expiration date on them.
Eli...it looks like he’s eating angel food cake and strawberries. Bill looking over his bird feeder.
We got ready and left at 7:30 to go to Bikes on the Bricks. It was a cool morning and the temperature was 48 degrees when we left. We dressed warm and didn’t get cold. I am glad we have heated seats and he has heated grips. We stopped and had breakfast at Bringer Inn with Wes, Gayla, Don, Jerry and then Ron and Barb came for coffee later. We got to The Harley Davidson Dealer in Flint and walked inside for a while, then went outside. Elaine did a great bike blessing and all of us from CMA handed out Bike Blessing Stickers. We talked to some people about Jesus and offered to pray for anybody who wanted prayer. Then we went and got on our motorcycles and lined up behind the police on their motorcycles. All of the people in the Harley dealership parking lot lined up and as we started moving, they got in behind us. There were lots of bikes there. We probably went 40 miles before it was our turn to block. Lots of people were sitting or standing by the road waving to us. Wes and Gayla were riding in front of us and Barb and Ron were behind us. We blocked a road and when the last motorcycle went buy, the police car but it siren and lights on so we knew to pull in at the end. We road a short distance and drove into the city and parked out bikes. We walked around town, went to the CMA booth and talked to Paul, Bev and Paul. We went to eat at the Market Place and got lunch at whatever food place we wanted, after looking at them all. We met at the food court and ate together. We headed to the CMA booth after that and I asked Jessica if they wanted us to cover for them while they walked around. I told her we had about an hour before we had to head home to celebrate birthdays. They left and we covered. Wes and Gayla came and helped us. Ron and Bev left for home because she had knee surgery pretty recently. I left my phone at home so couldn’t take any pictures. Bill sure took a lot though. We had wonderful opportunities from the Lord to talk to people about Jesus, hand out tracks, rag tracks, prayed with people.
We left after an hour, walked around and looked at the vendor booths, then said goodbye to Wes, Gayla, Bev and Jim and left for home. We got into a few sprinkles for about 3 minutes, then no more rain after that. When we got home, I stirred the chili, then put everything needed out for it, Vikki and Peyton got here and Vikki helped me with stuff and cut the tops off so I could chop them up for over the angel food cake. I went upstairs to fill out all the cards, because I hadn’t had time to do Bruce’s yesterday, had to do another one for Bill, and had to do Peyton and Isaac’s and had to put their gifts in gift bags. Kimmy and family got here and came upstairs and helped me. She had called me earlier to see if Abi could spend the night with us and then Jacob would come pick her up in the morning and they would head to MSU. Of course I said yes right away. Everyone helped try to find my phone several times. I didn’t want to wake Bill up by turning the bedroom light on, so I didn’t set it on the charger right and it didn’t charge. Bill knew about the chairs I bought and paid cash for at Harbor Freight too. I paid cash so he wouldn’t see it on the Visa, but they asked me about reward points so I used his number. Then they sent him the receipt with all the information on it. I’ve never had that happen before. After I gave him a card with a gift card in it to use to take us out for our Anniversary Monday, he told me he knew he was still getting the chairs. No surprises for him. He sure liked everything though. Bruce and Max left and then Rody and Isaac left. Eli, Evan and Jack played with light sabres outside for a while. Then Melissa and the kids left. Kimmy, Jared, Adam and Eli stayed and so did Jacob and Abi. They all helped clean up, then searched again for my phone, in the house, in the camper and in the motorcycle. We still didn’t find it. Bummer. They left and so did Jacob. Abi spent the night with us. It was late when they left. She was tired so she went to bed right away. We read our Bibles and I worked on my blog and then we went to bed.
