8/26/17...Picked, shucked and froze 2 1/2 bushels of corn today. Went to the Loon's game with Wes, Gayla, Melissa, Bruce and the kids



Corn I picked from our garden today.  Bill was on a motorcycle ride and I checked the corn and it was ready so picked it without my helper.

Ready to start cooking.  Got 24 gallon bags for the freezer.  Will be sharing with my sweet family.

Bill left for Owosso to witness for the Lord.  I was going to pick tomatoes and check the corn and pick what was ripe.  Well I didn't get to the tomatoes because almost all of the corn was ready.  We are going to be gone tomorrow through Monday afternoon so I picked it all, shucked it, cooked it and froze it.  What a big job.  I am used to Bill being there to help with it.  Sure did miss him.
After I finished it, I got ready and we left for the tailgate party at the Loon's game.  It was Family Day and Wes and Gayla had gotten us and Melissa and her family free tickets.  We ate hot dogs, popcorn, and had a water bottle with it.  Bruce and Max tested the chicken wings to see which were the best.  Different churches were competing.  The kids had fun in the bounce houses.  That ended at 6 and then we went and set up our chairs on the lawn.  It was a beautiful evening.  TheLoons won, 7 to 6.  We stayed for the fireworks afterward.  They were really good.  



8/25/17...Bill took the camper and Mocha home. Rody took the kids and Lenny home. Vikki and I kept the Clam up and stayed at the campground. Went to Owosso on a motorcycle ride in the evening after I got home.

The trees are changing already.  Such a blue cloudless sky today.  Beautiful!
We went with Wes, Gayla, Matt, Pastor Jim, Art and Angie, and Dan to the Owosso Vintage Bike ride.  It was a beautiful ride and lots of bikes.

We loaded everything and Bill brought the camper and Mocha home.  Rody took the kids and Lenny home.  Vikki and I kept the Clam up and stayed at the campground.  We went for a 3 mile walk and then rode our bikes to the pavilion.  We ate nacho supremes there.  They forgot to give us salsa and sour cream and I didn't notice until Vikki's was gone.  I went and got some for the other half of mine. It tasted much better.  We went for a two mile bike ride and then we went for a swim to cool down.  We did lots of exercise in the pool.  We came back and changed in the clam and then packed it up and left for home.  Got some things done and unpacked and then we left to meet people from Faith Riders at Meijer's.  We all rode to Owosso and went for a 45 minute ride through the country.  After that we went to Jumbo's Burgers to eat.  They had about 12 different burgers they make.  Bill had a Jumbo Burger and I had an olive burger.  They made a special sauce for mine and it was delicious.  I couldn't eat it all though, even though I wanted to.  I was too full.  I had a baked potato with it.  We left and the ride home was a little cool but not too bad.

8/24/17...Happy Birthday Rody!!!!

Happy Birthday to Rody.  Nice that he could come up and spend his birthday with us.
