Adam and Vikki at Fergie's Pizzeria....Best Pizza I've ever had

I was happy to get this picture of Jacob at Band Camp.  He's second from the right!  He's having a great time!

Got up early.  Got ready and we all ate breakfast. Bill went home to take Melissa to therapy and then tonight has a Marine Corp League meeting.  He put all the mulch around in the bricks and finished around the house.  Kimmy, Adam and Eli came up for the day.  Sure am missing Jacob.  We took a few walks around the campground.  Vikki told a couple with a golden doodle about her gentle leader for Lenny and let them use it on their dog to get him used to it.  They are going to get one they liked it so much.  We ate lunch and then went for a nice swim.  Adam is spending the night with us and Peyton went home with Kimmy and Eli so she can go to VBS at Kimmy’s church.  Peyton fell down the 3 steps in the camper and it sounded terrible and gave us a scare but she was ok.  Thanking God.  The kids loved going to the store.  We all went to Pinconning the Northwoods and then Kimmy went home and we went to get pizza at Fergie’s Pizzeria.  It is the best pizza ever and we had fun watching them toss the dough.  We came back to the camper and played dice.  Isaac went out and then Adam took his last turn and went out too.  Just perfect!  Two special winners.  

Vikki, Adam and Isaac walked down to the pool.  The boys went swimming and Vikki watched them.  I stayed with Lucy.  Bill called and is ordering our bathroom floor and shower tiles tomorrow because Menards’s having a sale.  Relaxed and listened to worship music and then went to bed.  

6/19/18...Left for Outdoor Adventures, Set up was quick with our new camper, Went swimming, Walked, Sat around campfire.

Got to Outdoor Adventures.  Picked our spot out, #392.  Set up which is very easy in this camper and then went and registered.  Went for some walks around the campground.  Made salmon and potatoes on the grill. Had peas too.  Peyton and Isaac loved the salmon.  I also wormed up sloppy joes.  We played 3-13 and dice.  It rained during the night. Our bed is so comfy.  Lucy is being a really good puppy.

6/18/18, Bill and I put another load of mulch around the rest of the house. Just have a tiny area left do. Packed the camper, Vikki came over and she and Bill worked on the Pagola.

For some reason the picture makes it look small, but it is big and we can fit a lot under it.  I'm looking forward to sitting under it, being in the shade,  and enjoying the view.  Great job Bill and Vikki.

Bill picked up more mulch for around the rest of the house.  We worked on putting it down.  I kept working it while he went to a chiropractor appt.  The back was harder because there were lots of roots and some plastic we had to cut out.   Sure looks nice now.  It was so hot the sweat was dripping down my face.  We ran out of mulch and only have about three yards to go.  I packed the camper and Bill worked on the pagoda.  He thought he was done and just had to put the cover on when he realized it wasn't right.  Vikki came to pack some clothes in the camper.  She helped him figure it out and the worked together and got it turned.  He did great at putting that big thing together.  It is so nice.  I am going to love it.  Happy Mother's Day to me!!!

6/17/118..Happy Father's Day to my sweetie Bill and all of my wonderful son in laws who are great dads to my grandkids. Jacob left for band camp today! Went to church, taught Sunday School, Went to Kimmy and Jared's

I wished Bill Happy Father's Day and then headed off to church.  I got my classroom ready, prayed for my kids,  and then went over my lesson again.  Went out for worship.  Isaac went up front by himself to worship.  He was so happy they sang Good Good Father.  The kids all moved up a grade now, so instead of 12 to 14 kids, I had 5.  I had a few missing because of summer vacation.  Miss having my grand kiddos.  After church, we went to Kimmy's.  We ate sloppy joes, potato salad and chips and had cake for dessert.  The kids swam and had lots of fun.  It was 98 degrees out.  Sure am thankful for air.  Kimmy's house was nice and cool.  We all had a fun day.  Vikki and Kimmy swam later on.  Melissa and I stayed in the cool house and visited.  So thankful for the great dad's we have in the family.  They are all loving, kind and are teaching their kids to love and follow Jesus.  I am so blessed! 

6/16/18...Went to take some shorts and a shirt to Melissa's...Went to Krogers and Aldi's, Met Bill at the Veteran's Car show at Hopevale, worked on cleaning the res t of the mulch out of the trailer, got the preen down in the back, Went back to the car show, Bill won a hotel stay, Went to Lowes.

Ruth and me.  Bill and I went in this War Room and prayed for Tina, Melissa and others.

We are praying for Bill's sister, Tina, in Kansas.  She was rushed to the hospital and had to have her spleen taken out yesterday. Can't wait until she is out of the hospital and back to normal.   Went to Melissa's to have her see if she liked some shorts I have to wear to therapy.  They weren't the kind she wanted.  Took her an Old Navy Sleeveless Shirt.  She tried it on right away and loved it.  I went to Kroger's and got some groceries.  They were super busy and I couldn't even get a big cart.  I saw Bruce and Hailey in the check out line when I was ready to pay and talked to them a few minutes.  I picked up 5 mayo's and 5 big Heinz Ketchups for 99 cents each.  Great Deal!  I have to see if the kids each need one of each now.  Got stuff I need for camping trip.  Went to Aldi's and got raisins and oatmeal.  Got home and called Bill.  He was at the car show and wanted me to come there.  I went and was happy to see Peyton, Isaac and Rody there too.  We walked around and then got hot dogs.  I left and came home to clean out the rest of the trailer and put the last of the mulch down.  Bill did 10 loads this morning and got the bricks around the tree filled with mulch.  I got the back ready and preened for the next load.  We went back to the car show because they were having a drawing at 5 and you had to be there.  It was a special drawing for Veterans only.  They drew a lot of names and then drew Bill's.  He won a Comfort Inn stay for a night.  Love it there because their pool is really warm.  We went to look for a shrub at Lowes.  Found one we like, but want to get it at a nursery.  Bill got me my Mother's Day present.  I told him I wasn't his mom and didn't need anything, but for Father's Day, he got a tool cabinet  on wheels and told me it was my Father's Day gift for him.  Then he decided to get me one.  We are putting it together and then will post a picture.  

6/15/18...Went to Melissa's, picked up her heart monitor and took it back to dr. Went to Old Navy, then back to Melissa's. Sprayed tent. Ordered stuff for remodeling of bathroom, started putting wood chips around the house.

Evan

Mulch that's done

Went yo Melissa's to pick up her heart monitor at 8:15.  Dropped it off at the doctor's.  I remembered Melissa had asked for copy of results to go to her neurologist so I asked about it and they gave me a form to take to Melissa.  Ran it to her house after I stopped at Old Navy.  They have some really comfy shirts on sale for $5, so I picked up a couple more.  Bill and I went and ordered all the stuff for our bathroom to be remodeled.  We also picked up mulch to put around our house.  We ate left over meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas when we got home.  Got quite bit of the mulch down around the house.
