9/7/18...Yay, Melissa came home. Went to take cookies for her to give her therapist. Went to car show in Frankenmuth, Went to Debbie and Dale's Afterward

Bruce, Melissa and Abby celebrating with Starbucks because she is home from the Rehab Hospital.

Four happy kiddos because their mommy is home...happy dog too

The boys are running to see their mom and the teachers and students are welcoming Melissa because she just got out of the hospital and went with Bruce to pick the kids up.  So touching how these friends show so much love to Bruce,  Melissa and their family!

The boys were so excited to see their mom they jumped through the van window.  Glad Bruce had his camera ready

Made chocolate chip cookies for Melissa's favorite therapist who had her the whole time

Bill wanted to take a picture of me by this red Lemans the same year mine was too

Bill by his brick his sister, Debbie, got for him in Frankenmuth

This is one good looking car show dude!
If you zoom in you can see all the people down the street.  There were tons going both directions.
Bill and I had fun going to the car show in Frankenmuth.  We took pictures, walked around, talked to some friends we saw from church and Stacie's in laws.  What a fun time.  Wes and Gayla were at the other end so we didn't get to see them.  We went to Debbie and Jeff Davis's afterwards since we parked across from their house.  Their house is right where Bill used to live when he was a kid.  They tore his house down though and it's a street now.  We had a great visit, enjoyed seeing their kitchen remodel, and then they prayed over us before we left.  It was a beautiful evening and was just the right temperature.

9/6/18 Happy 6th Birthday Peyton and Isaac!

Our friend Ziggy that we met at a Bed and Breakfast in Maine doing an impersonation of Mr. Rogers.  He did great and we sure did get a laugh.  He MC'd the talent show

Renee singing in the Talent Show...she did great!


Our National Evangelists in their hats that were given as gifts
Wes and Gayla made pancakes and bacon for us today for breakfast. We all ate at the picnic table under the canopy.  We went to the worship service and Run for the Son Service.  After that we took a ride to Harbor Springs.  We were going to eat at Wes and Gayla’s favorite restaurant there but saw it had burned down and was being cleared away.  We ate across the street instead.  It took a long time but the food was great.  We headed back to the campground and avoided some storms ahead. Wes took our group a great way and we kept turning towards clear skies.  When we were about two miles from BayShore, we stopped and put our rain suits on.  As soon as we got them on and got on the motorcycles it started raking. It wasn’t near as bad as the storms we avoided though.  We went to an ice cream social afterward with free ice cream.  Bill and Sabrina came up.  He was pretty scraped up and had lots of bandages but is doing great.  We are praising and thanking God!  We all went to Trinity Riders potluck, but just visited with friends because we were still too full from lunch to eat. Went to the evening service and then played cards.  I finally won tonight.
