5/22/17....Rained in the early morning, but then was a beautiful day. Went for a walk, went for a swim and spent time in the Clam.

Heard it raining out before I got up.  Got up and got ready so I could take Mocha outside.  Happy the rain had stopped.  Ate corn flakes for breakfast.  I haven't had them for a long time so they tasted great, especially with Kimmy and Jared's honey on them.  I went for a walk around the campground.  There are still a lot of campers here.  I went to the clubhouse so I could get wifi to catch up on my blog.  After that, I went swimming. Kept moving in the pool for the first half hour.  Time sure went slow.  I was wondering if the battery is getting old in their clock.  Came back to the camper and had lunch.  Sat out in the Clam screen tent for a while and read and relaxed.  Weather still is nice out and 67 degrees.  I watched the movie, "Loce Comes Softly".  Bill called to see how I was doing.  He told me he picked up the sod pieces that were around the back of the house from me digging to make landscape area bigger.  That sure was nice of him!  Talked to my girls.  Kimmy is coming up tomorrow.  Can't wait.  Sure love my family and I sure am blessed!

Took some pictures of the camper for this year's post

5/21/17...went home and Bill and I went to Meijers to meet Faith Riders and ride together to Hopevale

Fun time showering off after swimming

Nice day....didn't have to bundle up after swimming

Drove and got home at 7:30 a.m..  Got ready and packed the stuff we needed for our Faith Rider's table at the church!  I drove the car and Bill went on the motorcycle.  I saw two eagles sitting in the tree by their nest on the way.  We had a great turnout, especially with rain in the forecast.  Saw lots of people we know there.  The service was really nice.  Great message on solving conflict God's way.  Afterwards we went to stand by our stuff and talk to people.  Some went out by the motorcycles.  We had about 5 people that want to join Faith Riders.  I go to see Kelly, Ryan, Abby and Christopher. I as so happy to see them and of course asked about Michael.  Michael was in my Sunday School class and is such a sweet boy.  His dad told me Michael was just talking about me yesterday and saying how much he missed me.  Kelly told me to wait because she wanted to get him from Sunday School so he could see me. I sure was happy to see him and get a hug.  He was happy too.  It made my day.  Kelly brought Ally over to see me before we left too. Bill had to pass out flags at Walmart for the Marine Corp. League.  I came back up north to spend time with Vikki, Peyton and Isaac.  I sure got a good welcome from my sweeties!  I was very happy to when Vikki showed me all of the bags for snack lunch dinners for schools Vikki and the kids decorated.  Sure were beautiful and sure was a help to me having them done.  Not too many left to decorate.  I am praying over these bags that will go to these kiddos whoever they are.  We went swimming.  A little girl around 2 almost drowned, but a boy about 11 who was in the hot tub ran and jumped in and saved her.  Her mom was trying to get to her but was way at the end of the pool.  You can see Vikki's blog for picture and details.  After that we ate spaghetti, went for a walk and looked in a new handicapped cabins.  We sat in the screen tent and relaxed for a while too while the kids played with three other kids. Vikki had to leave at seven. She blessed me by picking up some clips to put on the clam tent. But makes putting the side flaps up and down super easy.  Thank you Vikki!  I did some cleaning and sorting to get rid of stuff I don't use.

5/20/17...Made eggs and ham for breakfast, set up the Clam screen tent, went to Northwoods, went to get ice cream, went golfing

Lunch in the Clam tent

Silly Isaac and Peyton

I guess this family wants to try the new cabins

Isaac with sunglasses papa got him last year.  Peyton getting toys out

Isaac and Peyton playing dice.  I forgot the game box so we only had 3 dice to play with but still had fun.  I got beat bad

We decided we wanted eggs and ham for breakfast so made it in my huge electric frying pan I found at the garage sale.  What a great find.  I don't think it was ever used and it works great, expecially when camping with extra people.  Vikki told me it wasn't too windy and we could set up the clam.  Well it started blowing and we had to run after it once the sides were pulled out.  We moved it back and staked it down right away while Vikki held it.  We ate our lunch in it and it sure was nice sitting in it.  We took the kids golfing.  Vikki beat me by six.  Guess I had better practice.  We went to Northwoods so I could get cord winders and some canvas bags.  I am trying to get the storage space under the camper more organized.  The kids, Vikki and I played dice with the three we had.  We all had fun and they all beat me.  Sure love my family!

5/19/17....Happy Vikki and the kids came up! Missing my sister Linda today. She went to heaven 9 years ago. Nice time camping

Mocha did great on our walk today.  We walked almost the whole campground and she just stayed on my side, not pulling and not lagging behind.  Good doggie!

I had the pool to myself this morning!  Water aroebics just finished.  I will have to come earlier next time

Love this metal clothes hanger the girls and their families got me !  It works great and is so handy.
Like my little clothes pin holder that collapses too.  Found it at a garage sale.  

Isaac and Peyton were excited to see the toys again

Isaac's ready to go swimming

Peyton

Cute picture Vikki took of Peyton and Isaac

Bill forgot his medicine so he left for home this morning.  I went for a nice half hour swim and then sat in the hot tub.  They had just finished aroebics in the water so will try that on Monday.  Vikki and the kids came up for the weekend.  It was pretty cold and windy out so we drove to the pool and went swimming again. So much more fun with the kids in the water.  I was missing all my grandkids when I was swimming this morning and thinking I would rather be splashed and have fun with them than swim alone!  We played a game of war with the kids and then we played 3-13.  Vikki won!
