Joel loved watching the kids play  Sandy helped put the balls back up.

Gayla and Wes won the water balloon toss and catch.

Got up early and made chicken fried rice.  Also cut up watermelon and mixed it with blackberries, grapes and strawberries to take to the picnic  Showered, got ready, packed and went early to our Faith Rider's Chapter meeting.  Afterwards we set up and got everything for the silent auction ready and papers filled out to go with items.  We ate, the kids played games, then we had the silent auction results.  After that they did the bike games.  Lots of good food and fun.  We had a surprise visitor as Mike Gerardo came.  He moved to Florida and usually comes to visit us when we go there.  This time he was visiting here and came.  He used to go to our church.  We cleaned the place up (it was a wonderful pavilion with netting sides we could close all around and had a full kitchen on one end.   Very nice.  We came home and dropped stuff off and then headed to our church for Sarah Cline's graduation party.  More good food and we had fun talking with everyone.  Came home, made popcorn and watched a movie.  Got more stuff ready to pack for our trip.

Good thing Bruce couldn't make it.  Looks like there was no room at our small table for his plate Ha Ha!

Slept in till 8.  We got quite a bit of rain overnight and it is still raining.  Praying lots for it to stop before Hannah's wedding today.  Bill and I had to go to Sam's Club to pick up 50 hotdogs for the picnic tomorrow for Faith Riders.  Also got spinach from Sam's, Red Peppers and fruit from Aldi's and dressing from Applebees for the Bavarian Festival when we got to Debbie's.  We went to lunch at Panera Bread since we had a gift card the church gave us for having a care group.  I had a strawberry poppyseed salad and turkey, BLT avocado half sandwich.  It was delicious.  Bill had chicken noodle soup and a chicken salad sandwich.  We came home and I made up sheets for our silent auction we will have tomorrow.  Then got ready for Hannah's wedding.  It did stop raining.  Thank You Lord!!!
Vikki, Rody and Melissa rode with us.  Kimmy and Jared met us there.  Bruce had a garage sale and also watched their kids so he stayed home.  He was missed although our table was small and had just enough room for our plates and no extras.  The wedding ceremony was beautiful and the pastor and his wife from Vineyard in Alma were amazing.  It was cool out so I wore a sweater and the girls had hoodies.  We were pretty cozy at our little table though.  Everything was so nice and the food was delicious.  We always love seeing the Gager family.  It was so fun watching Jessica's kids dance.  Drew was an amazing dancer.  He knew lots of moves and never stopped dancing.  What a cutie.  Nice seeing Melissa and her family there from California.  We love the Gager's!!!  Friends forever!

Fun on the Rail Trail

Isaac on the rail trail

Peyton on the rail trail

Peyton wanted to stop and pick a flower.

Fun kiddos

These two do great on the rail trail.

Peyton and her beautiful flower!

I sat on the deck this morning reading my Bible and saw a doe and her fawn in the field next to me.  So beautiful!  By the time I got my phone to take a picture they were gone.  After that I hoed our garden.  Then I did laundry and hung it out to dry.  Got lots of other things done and then called Vikki to see if she wanted to walk the rail trail.   She did, so we met and walked a couple of miles.  Peyton and Isaac did so good riding their bikes.  It was so much fun!  It started sprinkling when we were almost done.  Went to Walmart afterwards.  Came home and made dinner.  At 7 we had an officer's meeting for Faith Riders.  Bill did a great job leading it.  Very happy today that my sister Jody texted me back.  Brenda had told me she wouldn't text back because it was too hard for her and she didn't like to, but she texted me a few times.  She need prayer that she won't have another stroke because they didn't find out what caused the first mini stroke.  She was happy our family is praying.
