7/26/16.....went to breakfast, stopped at Melissa's, Kenzie came over

Max, Conner, Evan and Jack posing with their light sticks

Made these faces afterward
Hailey was sleeping in so I went upstairs and took a picture

I woke her up and got a smile




Went to breakfast and then stopped at Melissa's after.  The boys came running for hugs which made me so happy!  I went to pay our insurance after that and then went back to Sullivan's and got Bill. He stayed to visit with Charlie and Kenny.  Then we went and got absentee ballots because we will be at BayShore.  Cleaned part of the house.  Kenzie came over for a while. Cage brought me 4 beautiful ceramic things with colorful bottoms.  So sweet of her. Thank you Kenzie! XOXO.  She also gave me three packs of 3 d butterfly stickers for Aunt Vikki.  They are beautiful and Aunt Vikki will be so happy.  Went to the movie and watched Hillary in America.  Lots of history I am going to be looking up. Came home and hoed the garden.  Bill tilled the edges of it.  Looks so nice.  Everything is growing great.  Picked my first tomato today.



7/25/16...picked blueberries today on Ederer Rd. They were so nice,huge and tasted yummy


Bill found this for when we go camping so we don't need to buy water bottles or keep water in frig 


Decided to go early to pick berries so it wouldn't be too hot!  Had to go by my lonesome self.   Only had to pick on a few bushes because they were loaded. I picked almost two big buckets full!  Yum!  The guy there was so nice!

Hard to tell how big they really are in this picture

Size compared to a quarter
I made a yummy blueberry pie.  Bill loved it.  My favorite kind is blueberry

Went to Caella's and then to Menard's.  Picked up a smal water cooler.  Froze blueberries and put them in freezer bags.

7/24/16....Taught Sunday School. Had Peyton, Isaac and Evan in my class for the first time. Wish I would have taken a picture

So happy to have this picture to put on here.  Missing these boys in Copper Harbor.  Love their smiles and this picture with their grandma and grandpa!  They are starting to make grandma and grandpa look short.



After Church Visit at Isaac's church we went to G's Pizzeria

I was so happy to have Evan, Peyton and Isaac in my Sunday School class for the first time.  They were so good.  All the kids were!  Had 9 kids today.  We had our lesson and then made frames to put their memory verse in.  They did so good at gluing the foam pieces on their frames with a paint brush.  They listened to directions really well.  I had Caleb for a helper and he was amazing. 
Came home and started baking Salmon and Potatoes for dinner.  Bill called and wanted me to meet him at G's with those that went on the church visit to Isaac's church.  Had a great time.  Went for a ride by all of our old houses.  Enjoyed that! Also went to the park to do some walking.

7/23/16...Fun time at Rock the Island....Danny Gokey and David Crowder were there

I messed up and the pictures aren't in the right order.  Couldn't figure how to straighten them out though so just left them like they are.

The girls were so happy to get two autographs each from Danny Gokey.  Also very happy to have their picture taken with him.  He was so nice.  He signed Hailey and Avery's shirts on his picture.  Reminded me of when my girls were young and 4Him signed their shirts and Maria's
Saw Vicky Taylor there.  Happy to see her.  Miss her since she has moved
David Crowder did amazing worshipping the Lord and getting the crowd to.



Went to pick up Melissa and Hailey at 11am.  We loaded stuff in the car and went to pick up Avery.  Got to talk to Mike when we picked her up.  He is such a good daddy.  Made Avery get back out of the car to give him a hug and kiss. We got to Ojibway and parked close in the Tennis Park.  We took a picture of the girls by the statutes.  They have them all over town and they are really realistic looking.  We found a really shady spot in the middle of 3 huge trees.  Figured we would be shaded all day and we pretty much were.  We had fun listening to Valley's band, walking around, eating, seeing friends, and relaxing in the shade.  The girls absolutely loved Danny Gokey and stood in the hot sun just to be close and listen.  They were jumping with everyone and having so much fun.  Afterwards, he autographed things for people and was so nice letting Melissa and I both take a picture and autographing 2 things each for the four girls.  Loved his concert and how he encouraged us in the Lord.  David Crowder did an amazing worship concert too. We were very blessed.  Bruce, the boys and Bill came in the afternoon which was nice.
