Beautiful weather.  Kim Reminder decided to come for a visit.  We ate, swam, went paddle boating, and golfed. Then we sat in our comfy chairs and relaxed quietly for a while.  When it was time for her to leave, we led her to get an anniversary card and then to the post office to mail it.  Then we went to our favorite ice cream place.  We had so much fun with her.  When we got home, Bruce wanted to go into town for ice cream so I went again with them and Vikki and kiddos.  Dad said "I can't believe you are getting ice cream two days in a row". Had to laugh because he's done it many times before.  Came back and say at Bruce's campfire.

8/13/15. Camping at Outdoor adventures

My camping buddy.  

We are camping again! Yay!  We got up early so sad could run and get spark plugs for the motorcycle.  I went to get groceries for camping.  We finished loading the 5th wheel and headed to Standish.  Took a while to pick our spot out because we tried to find a spot with lots of open sites so we can be near Bruce and Melissa.  We got everything set up and then headed home to cut His Restoration's grass and then make it to our Faith Ridders meeting.  I called Vikki to see if We could borrow her lawn mower so I could help dad so he could get done quicker.  He wouldn't have finished on time otherwise.  Vikki also lent me her mowing shoes so we didn't have to stop at at home.  She also watched Movha.  Thanks Vik!  We had a good meeting.  Love Sullivan's food too.  Drove back up to the camper afterwards.  Excited to haveVik and kids and Melissa and family come tomorrow.  Missing my Kimmy and her family!  Oh I called to make a reservation for Melissa to camp and when I gave her Melissas card # the girl said that wasn't the right one it needed to be the same as on my card.  She said they needed to bring the card with my number or they would have to pay.  Poor Melissa tore everything apart and looked for a couple hours.  The she and the kids got in a circle and prayed to find the card or if a mistake was made for it to be fixed.  I called 5 minutes later and we checked Vikki's card number antitrust was the same as Melissas.  I called Outdoor Adventures back and she said the girl made a mistake and the card is the right one and the girl never should have done that.  Told Melissa and the kids were so excited God answered so fast.  Max told her it only took 5 minutes for God to answer.  The got in another circle and thanked God!  Proud of my Missy and her kid does.  Made this momma very happy.  Melissa always finds something to smile about and be thankful for!

8/12/15

Melissa, Hailey and I looked like chubby cute little midgets in the mirror at Penny's

So much fun shopping with Hailey and Melissa today!


Got ready and went to Vikki's to meet Melissa and Hailey to go school shopping.  I was happy I had 2 $10 off coupons to use at Penneys. Hailey found lots of stuff she liked and wanted to try on.  The girls dressing room at Penney's was really pretty.  The mirror was a little weird for a dressing room, but we had fun looking at ourselves in it.  We waited for a while for one of the 3 rooms to open up but they were taking a long time so we ended up going downstairs for Hailey to try things on.  The room behind the pink door was huge.  We got to peek in it when the Grandma and mom kept coming out.  When we went downstairs there were tons of rooms open.  We went to Gordman's after this and then Target.  Then we picked up pizzas, breadsticks and sauce and took them to Vikki's for lunch.  She was a sweetie and watched Melissa's boys while we shopped.  Had a nice surprise because Rody's mom came to visit while we were there.  Stayed and visited for a while, then left to go home to check out our camper.  We had the window, awning spring and refrigerator drain hose fixed.  They did a great job and even replaced the tail light that was burned out and didn't charge any labor for doing it.  Excited to go camping tomorrow now.  Vikki and the kiddos are going with us and Bruce and Melissa and kids are bringing their camper up and camping.  It will be so much fun.  We had a meeting at church to go to for care group leaders.  Pastor and Joan did a really good job sharing and encouraging us to pray and lead our groups.  We are blessed!
