After a 100 mile ride, we stopped in Hemlock for lunch


Olivia and her dad at her wedding

 Bev (who is 90) stood up for Olivia.  Pastor Jeff married her and Chris. 



I got up at 5 and came home.  Got the creamer, sugar, spoons, cups and coffee ready to take to the memorial. Bill rode the motorcycle.  I had made the coffee at home so dropped it off before picking up donuts at Tim Hortons.  Went back and we had the memorial and also a biker blessing.  Then we went on a really nice ride for 100 miles.  Stopped and had a hamburger and then headed home to change to go to Olivia and Chris's wedding.  Olivia was in our care group and we know Chris because Bill was his grandma's chaplain when she was on hospice.  It was so nice seeing all of his family that we were close to there too.  It was a really nice ceremony.  We had cake afterwards and then headed home to change and go to Hosanna's open house for her graduation.  Busy day today!  Lots of people from church were there and it was a really nice party.  We sat with Dave and Sherry Vienne and their daughter, Katelyn whose party is next week.  Worked on the landscaping afterward and dug out a plant I didn't like.  Planted some spinach and lettuce seeds.





6/2/17....went for a swim, went and bought two chairs a Shopco, Vikki and the kids came up

It was beautiful out.  I went swimming in the outside pool and the water was warm and it was nice and sunny out.  I went to Shopco to walk around and get garbage bags and Coke.  I saw the chairs Bill and I liked that were originally $330 each and then went on sale for $179 were on a Bonus Sale for $129.  I called Bill to see if he wanted me to get them for the camper and he did.  They are higher than the ones we have and will be easier with his knee replacements to get out of.  I went to get them and got a $10 gift coupon.  I didn't think the chairs would fit in my Prius, but the guy got one in.  It was in a big box with an ottoman so I was amazed it fit.  I took it to the camper, unloaded it and went back for the other one.  Vikki and the kids got there shortly after.  The kids were pretty excited about the boxes the chairs came in.  They didn't even want to go swimming.  We told them were were going and they could play when they got back because we wanted to swim while it was sunny and nice.  When we got back, they played in the box and Vikki helped me assemble the chairs.  She was very good at it and I actually just helped when she needed me.  The biggest job was unwrapping them.  Every part of the metal was wrapped in paper and taped.  They sure are comfy chairs.  Such a great deal too.  Love that we can sit in them and there's enough room to turn and face the window and look out.  They recline also.  We had a nice fire and sat out and made amores.  The neighbor boy wanted one with just chocolate.  

6/1/17...Nice day at the campground

Lots of birds on our neighbor's bird feeders at the campground.  Love seeing them!  How nice to have a woodpecker and oriole on the feeders.

It was Evan's teacher's birthday....Even is on the far right behind the boy in the orange stripes

Nice morning for a walk at the campground

The inside pool all empty....somehow that rip got in the lining


Almost to the end of my walk

So funny...I got my ice tea out of the refrigerator and found it had frozen.  This is the ice shell.  I guess I should turn the temp up.
Kenzie picked these pretty flowers at my house and sent me this picture

Went to the Clubhouse to get on wifi.  Caught up with everything!  The pool is empty so they can fix it.  Bummer not being able to swim inside.  Went for a walk around all of the campground.  Stopped to putt putt golf before finishing walking and coming back to the campground.  Was going to go swim in the outdoor pool, but Kenzie needed me to pick her up, get her cat and some of her stuff and taker to my house.  We stopped for a sandwich at Tim Horton's after I picked her up.  After we got to our house, I paid a bill, watered my flowers and some plants, and then came back up north.  Poor Hailey had her stitches out.  The doctor waited an extra day and it still wasn't completely healed.  He said if it splits open she would have to stay off of it and it would take a month to heal good.  Guess what!  It split open.  My poor sweetie!  Sure am praying God heals her quickly.  Then found out poor Jack has swimmers ear and an ear infection.  Praying for him too.  Poor Peyton stepped on a thistle while she was barefoot!  She cried for along time while they tried to get them out.  Prayed for her too!  What a day!  So thankful I know the One to go to for help!

5/31/17. Went to "muffins with a special person" at Peyton and Isaac's school!  Isaac took his mom as his special person and Peyton took me.  They had regular muffins and chocolate muffins and juice.  It was fun and I loved being a special person!  We saw Mike P. There with Weston.  Gave Mike a hug and talked to him for a couple of minutes before leaving.
We took the kids to the hall where their class is and said goodbye.  I stopped and got a few things from the store and then stopped at Tim Horton's to get Kimmy a French Vanilla Capp.  Stopped to get a free frappe at McDonalds Vikki told me about.  We had coupons on our phone so got a breakfast burrito with it.  Got home and Kimmy had got one too.  I left to get seeds and plants for the garden and the girls went to Hobby Lobby to get something Kimmy's boys needed for their derby race.  When we got home Bill, Vikki, Kimmy, and I planted the garden.  The girls worked hard and we all had fun doing it!  What a great help they were!  They even helped us put the fence around it afterward.  Sure love and am thankful for my sweet daughters.  Kimmy had to leave afterwards, so Vikki helped me shape the bricks around our tree so Bill would know the shape we want when he does it.
Went to Peyton and Isaac's first school program at 6.  The were so cute!  Isaac had his sleeve rolled up a little so you could see his watch his daddy had got him.  He sang and did the motions all the way through.  Peyton didn't look up at first for a while.  She did the first "neighbor song good with a little boy next to her.  After that, she sang, but played a lot with the netting layer of her dress.  She got into doing the motions and singing the last three songs.  Wish I could post a video.  The sang 13 songs with no talking between to keep them focused.  They were cute songs and all the kids did amazing!  Loved watching Peyton and Isaac!  Aunt Debbie came too and so did Aunt Ann and Grammy!  Melissa really wanted to go, but Bruce came home excited with tickets for the family to go to a Loons Game so they went there.  It was "Spirit Night" Ha Ha....Private joke!  After I got home, I finished watering things and came back to the campground.
