Evan, Max and Jack with their Wendy Meals and Frosty's

Saw an Eagle flying down our road on the way home. Have to zoom in to see it.

We went to the SportsZone to walk.  We were happy Christine Holden was their to walk with us.  She went to our church, but has moved to Ludington.  She is an amazing friend and prayer warrior.

She told me how Melissa's post bless her because of her positive attitude and trust in the Lord.  I worked on going through stuff and putting it in the attic in tubs.  Have lots of pictures to go through next and give them away and put the rest  in tubs.  Have tons of my moms pictures that the girls need to go through.  Melissa had a good Neurologist appt. in Owosso today.  I dropped off the horse therapy forms to Tina at the horse farm for Melissa.  Picked Max, Jack and Evan from school.  I took them to Wendy's afterwards and got them kids meals and a frosty.  They were so happy and kept thanking me and Jack kept giving me hugs. On my way home, I turned on my road and there were two eagles.  One flew down the road ahead of me and hen circled around.  It got pretty close, but there was a car right behind me so I didn't get to focus my camera good and get a close picture.  It was beautiful.  When I got home I  fixed dinner.  Bill and I watched the Movie Wonder in the evening.

10/14/18...Went to Church, Hung out with Vikki and the Kids in our hammocks for a while.

Set up our motorcycle camper to let it air out for packing it up for the winter.

This is the third day for this blossom on the plant I got from the boys band fundraiser.  Love this plant.

Went to church.  Awesome worship today.  Came home and warmed up round steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and squash for dinner.  Went to check on a hose we thought was like the ones Kimmy and I have.  Wasn't that kind thoug,h so didn't get it.  Went to Mooneys on a date on our way home.  YUM.  Got lots more stuff put away outside.  Bill started the generator on the deck to make sure it is in working order for the winter.  It started right away.  Vikki called and wanted me to come to Haithco Park and hang out with them.  Had fun.  It was sunny and 55 degrees.  Not manu more hammock days left.  Went home and watched a movie with Bill and made popcorn.

10/13/18..Went on our Color Run with Faith Riders

Wes, Gayla, Cheryl, Chuck, Elaine, Don, Bill Smith, Bill, and Arnie

Some beautiful color on the way

We joined Trinity Riders for lunch at Momma Cillies Pizzeria in Harrison

Went to Jays and walked around afterward

We got up and got ready for our Faith Riders Color Ride.  We put lots of layers on because we knew it was supposed to be 51 and Sunny.  The Electric Seats worked great and I was dressed so warm I didn't get cold at all.  It was such an enjoyable ride.  We went to Cops and Donuts first and I had a Bear Claw and Bill had a glazed donut.  Had coffee with good creamer too.  Loved seeing the Horse and buggy by there.  Went to Momma Cillie's Pizzeria for Lunch.  They had a delicious buffet and salad bar.  Great soup too.  We met Trinity Riders (our group we started with) there and ate with them.  Afterward both groups went to Jays.  Then we headed for home.  Worked on setting up our bluetooth speakers when I got home.  They worked great for Bill and I to talk to each other.  Now I had to learn how to play my music through it, how to play the radio and preset stations and how to use the voice for the phone calls I make.  Relaxed and watched the Michigan State Game and then the Michigan Game with Bill.

10/11/18...Took Melissa to Therapy, Went to Aldi's, Shark Electric Came, Sold old Vanity, Faith Riders Meeting

It was cold today but my plant outside blossomed

Picked Hailey up from Volleyball practice and took her home

                             Faith Rider's Chapter Meeting

Took Melissa to therapy this morning.  Went to Aldi's to get a few things.  Went early to pick Melissa up so I could watch her on the lokomat.  She sure is doing great on it now.  Nice to see her use her walker to get off of it instead of needing the wheelchair like before.  While I was sitting watching her, the therapist she had while she was in the rehab, Shewale,  was signaling Melissa be quiet, while he snuck up behind me and grabbed my shoulders and started talking.  Sure scared me.  He thought it was pretty funny.  He talked to us for a while and was so happy about Melissa improving so much.
We went to Tony's after that and Vikki met us for lunch.  Fun time with sweet daughters.  Came home and the guy from Shark Electric came to purge the furnace because we had new registers put in the bathroom, hallway and utility room.  He found a leak in the new pipes, so the guys that did our bathroom will be coming tomorrow to fix them.  Then Shark will come back to finish purging.  Nice that we have our kernel burner.  A couple came and bought our old bathroom vanity and over the toilet cabinet for $300.  They are going to put a bathroom in their kennel.  Happy to have that gone out of the garage.  Went to our Faith Riders Chapter Meeting.  It was so nice.  It was nomination night for new officers.  Nice to see so many people want to help out and do things.  We have 3 new members too....Beemers and Eva.  There were 22 at the meeting.  Came home and watched more on the damage from Hurricane Michael.  It hit Panama City where we stayed last year.  So terrible.  Heartbreaking to see.

10/10/18...Hurricane Michael hit Florida. Did much damage to Panama City. Ate breakfast, Went to Petosky, Stopped to see Louise's new place, Went to lunch, Headed home

We ate here for lunch. 

We got up and Dave and Becky made us french toast and sausage for breakfast.  We also had fruit and coffee cake.  We visited and drank our coffee after that and watched Hurricane Michael's progress as it was coming into Panama City where we stayed in Florida last year.   Dave and Becky have a trailer in Florida, so they were very interested in what was happening.  It was a category 4 and the worst Hurricane in the Pan Handle's history.  We left and went to watch the salmon jumping.  Lots of guys trying to catch them.  Only saw one get caught.  Very fun to watch.  We went to Louise's place in Independent Village after that.  it is so nice and she has everything so handy.  She doesn't drive anymore so it's perfect for her.  She didn't want to leave Saginaw, but is with her family now and they are stopping gin lots and taking her lots of places. We went on every floor to check everything out.  We stayed there for a while and then left to go to Cormack's Deli for sandwiches for lunch.  They had so many choices of sandwiches.  Bill and I had egg salad sandwiches that were delicious.  The bread was so good. We said our good byes and gave hugs and then headed for home.  It was a beautiful morning, but started to rain after lunch.  It didn't rain hard though.  Got home around 3:30.  Unpacked and did our care group lessons.  Went to Andy and Phyllis's care group at the Schrams.  It was so nice.  Good lesson and great fellowship.

10/9/18....Went to Breakfast, Took Melissa to therapy, Went to Petosky and stayed at Becky and Dave's

Peter, Holly, Louise, Wes, Gayla, Becky, Dave, Bill and me out to dinner in Petosky

Wyatt....the TV Star...What a good dog he is!  

Jared and Wyatt on Television!  Way to go!  Great job!

Love that Melissa can stand so long without holding on to anything.  Praising God!

We went to breakfast.  I ate before I left home because I could only stay for a half hour.  Took Melissa to therapy.  Came home and packed to go to Petosky.  Picked Melissa up and dropped her off.  Got home and Wes and Gayla were here to pick us up.  We left and stopped in Gaylord at Wendy's.  Had a great salad there.  The trees were just beautiful on the way up.  What a great time to make a trip to see Louise.  Breathtaking color all around, especially when we got on Becky and Dave's road.  We got there around 3.  Gayla and I went in and visited with Becky and the guys went with Dave to pick up Louise.  After they got back, we visited with Louise.  We all went to dinner afterwards and Holly and Peter met us there.  Louise insisted on treating all of us. Such a sweet friend.   It was so good seeing her (and everyone else) and spending time together.  Bill had Whitefish and I had chicken alfredo. Kimmy sent a video of Wyatt and Jared on television.  Wyatt is such a good dog, the trainer wanted to use him on the television presentation.  Proud of Jared and Wyatt both.  Kimmy too!  Great training and great learning.  I was so happy to see this. We went back to Becky's and played 3-13.  Brian and Nick came to see us too, which was so nice.  Seven of us played 3-13 and I was the big winner.  Wes, Gayla, Louise, Bill and I all spent the night there.  Such great friends!

Walked with Bill at the SortsZone.  Took Melissa to the lab after I got home.  Bill and I put outside stuff away for the winter.  We started cleaning the garage too. It was super hot today and very muggy.   I picked Hailey up at 5:30 and took her to Taco Bell.  She was so happy because she was super hungry after volleyball practice.  We had a very nice time.  Watched a Hallmark movie with Bill.
