At Queen Wilhemena

                We found my name in chalk, but they put me with dime, not dollar Bill

We got up and got ready.  Ziggy was still in bed but told us through the curtain that he slept really good and didn’t get up during the night.  We had to be at breakfast at 8, so we walked down to the pavilion.  Ziggy ended up going to Pearl’s in Hatfield for breakfast and met a nice CMA couple to eat with.  He was able to pray with the owners and put a 2026 blessing sticker in their window.  They had one from lots of other years, but not this year.

We enjoyed awesome worship again, and two amazing sessions taught by Jared. All the National Evangelists went up front and spoke words of encouragement to all of us leaders.  They are all blessings to all of us.  At 11:30, we were dismissed and cleaned off our table, and Kathy packed her stuff up and we packed our stuff up.  We all met out in the dining area and had a Michigan meeting which went really well.  Bill led it.  We have amazing area reps.

We came back to the camper and changed into jeans, then went down to meet those who wanted to go on a ride today.  Doug and Sue led it, Russ, Tom, Lew, Cindy, Jeff (Cindy let him borrow her Shadow motorcycle), and Ziggy.  We went the first way to Heavener again because we thought everyone else would love that ride too.  Then we ate a light meal at Sonic.  Bill and I had hot fudge sundaes.  We went back a different way and went the opposite direction to Queen Wilhemena which was really an amazing ride.  We stopped there so the new people with us could see the look out outside and go inside and look around the lodge.  Then we headed back to our camper.  We went to Goodies and Bill exchanged a shirt and we got to “Come and See” shirts.  Then we went and met everyone at Papa’s Mexican Restaurant for dinner.  Bev, Ron, Kathy Jeff, Russ, Tom, Teri, Bill, Lew Cindy, Sue, Doug, Ziggy, Al, Lucy, Pat, Art, Mel and Betty came.  

We came home after that and we visited with Ziggy.  It was a great day and sure was a great ride and great fellowship.

Holly and John Ogden, Jr. stepped down from their positions in CMA and are starting a new journey with the Lord.  We are waiting to hear what it is.  They are and awesome couple.
