Wonderful picture of Evan on the far right and Jack on the far left and all the other kids from Valley that helped build beds for Sleep in Heavenly Peace Ministry.  I’m very proud of them.

I made blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning.

Read God’s Word out on the patio.  We are having such great weather.  

Beautiful mountains in the background

Lew and Cindy’s campground.  It’s about 20 minutes from Iron Mountain, but a nice drive.  We are so thankful they are coming and found a place to park their camper.  

A little blurry, but this is across from our campground and we were riding home and saw it was on fire.  About a minute later we heard sirens and a firetruck and a fire rescue truck passed us and put it out.  Very thankful it didn’t spread. Things are very dry here.

Bill was negative the whole game and I was negative until the last hand.  Our dice game was very close but he won that too!  Wait a minute...he told me he was negative the whole game, but 0 isn’t negative yet....

Well today, I had my alarm set for 8, but I was sleeping so good and so comfortable, that I turned it off and told Bill I was going to sleep in.  I slept in until 8:30.  It sure felt good.  

I asked Bill if he wanted blueberry or plain pancakes and he said either.  I am so glad he likes blueberries in them now.  They sure tasted good.

We sat out on our patio for a while.  Bill helped put stuff away, then he read his Bible while I did the couple of dishes there were and then did my hair and got ready.  We both went outside after that and I read my Bible and did my prayer books.  

We unloaded the trunk of the trike, and left to go to Oklahoma to check out Lew and Cindy’s campground for them.  It was a nice ride and fun going by CMA Headquarters on our way.  We passed a gas station on the corner where we turned to ride into Oklahoma and gas was $2.60.  It is $2.69 in Mina.  We drove through their campground.  There was a huge rut we let Cindy know about when you drive down to the lower level where they are camping.  I let her know to watch for it when they get here Sunday and to stay to the left.  It’s not marked and is a pretty bad one.  I wanted to warn them incase they get here after dark.  

Their campground was nice and had a lake at the other end.  They were happy we checked it out and sent them pictures.  We came back and went into Mena, to Walmart.  We got some groceries for when Ziggy joins us camping.  We loaded them in the trunk and headed back to our camper.  Doug and Sue were all parked and settling in when we got back.  A man named Rudy stopped at our campsite and talked to us.  He said he has the same trike as us only a 2014.  It’s the same color and he gets lots of compliments on it.  He really liked ours.

He is the master griller cook for the week.  He makes grills that you can haul with your motorcycle.  He showed me a picture of his bike hauling the grill.  Pretty neat.  He told us they told him they need to prepare for 400 people at each meal here.  Wow.  That’s a lot of food and a lot of cooking.  He was really nice and interesting to talk to.  He hasn’t been able to come here since 2012 so said everything has really changed.  The camping spots around us weren’t even here back then.  He loved seeing all of the changes.  Vikki called and I was talking to her for a while, then Doug and Sue came over so I told Vikki I would call her back so that I could say hi to them.    We were so happy to see them.  We introduced them to Rudy and they talked with us for a while.  Then Rudy said he had to go, so left and we visited for a few more minutes with Doug and Sue.  We decided to go to the Mexican Restaurant in town for dinner.  It always has the best Mexican food.  Our waitress was really nice and did a great job.  She wrote God loves you on our receipt, so we talked to her about it and thanked her.  A guy behind me started talking to me and asked where we were from.  He was from Texas and came up for a couple of days to ride.  We invited him to come out and check Iron Mountain out.  Bill explained CMA to him.  I asked him if he knew Jesus as his savior and he said no.  We talked to him about the difference Jesus makes and how important it is to accept Him.  I asked him to pray and ask Jesus to show him how real He is and he said I need someone to pray.  His name is Eric and we told him we would continue praying for him.  A seed sowed, now praying someone comes along to water and God reaps the harvest.  

We came back to the campground and went over and sat and visited at Doug and Sue’s campsite for a while.  Kenzie FaceTimed us and we got to talk to her and Rehvyn for a few minutes.  Rehvyn was cute showing me his red pajamas. Always love seeing them and talking to them.  

We decided we would go on a ride tomorrow where we can be in three states at once.  Then we left and came back to our camper.  Sue brought me some iced tea that she had extra of when she went to pour it in her container for the fridge.  That was sweet of her.  

Now Bill and I are going to play our game of 3-13 and then dice.
