Friday, 7/1/22, Kimmy and the boys and Vikki and the twins came up. Jacob and Adam spent the night.

 

Vikki, Jacob, Peyton, Adam, Isaac and me all able to sit comfortably at the picnic table in the camper now

It was so nice to have Kimmy and the boys and Vikki, Peyton and Isaac come up to the campground.  We ate lunch, swam, and played 3-13 (I was the winner). Kimmy, Vikki Jacob and I worked on moving the legs of the picnic table in our back room in the camper.  I only handed screws as needed.  It is so nice to have room for our legs to slide around the ends of the table now.  They were so close before that no one could sit on the ends and it was a pain to crawl to the back of the table.  Thank you so much for fixing it.  The kids went on lots of bike rides.  I gave them all money for the store.  I started making spaghetti.  Kimmy and Eli had to leave for home.  The rest of us ate dinner, then the kids went swimming again.  Vikki and I rested in our hammocks, then Vikki went to sit in the hot tub.  The kids and I watched The Lone Ranger, the Peyton and Isaac had to go to bed.  I prayed with them, the got Jacob and Adam a snack and watching an Andy Griffith.  Vikki went to bed first, then I did.  Such a fun day with family back up here.  I had a really long talk on the phone with Melissa too.  Talked with Bill a couple of times.

6/30/22 Vacuumed camper, went for bike ride, sat outside and read my Bible and book.

 

Relaxed in the hammock.  Got really windy out so put the awning in.  Cooked a sirloin burger and cut up potatoes on our new grill.  First time cooking on it.  It lit up fast and is amazing to cook on.  Everything was yummy.  Went for a walk around the campground.  Warm out but the breeze made it enjoyable out.  Spent most of the day outside.  

Saw in the forecast that it’s supposed to rain during the night so packed everything in the clam and closed it up.  Watched the movie,The Encounter.   Talked to Bill, Vikki and Kimmy.  Texted with Melissa and Hailey. 

Wed., 6/29/22, Went to saginaw to help Vikki clean the old house and pack up the rest of the stuff

Bill, Adam, Jacob and Eli working hard

Went to Saginaw, worked on cleaning Vikki’s old house and emptying it, took Adam to soccer, picked up stuff from Jacks, watered plants, picked my first raspberries, Jacob and Eli came with papa to drop off the refrigerator from Vikki and the washer and dryer.   They worked hard with papa and all were such joyful helpers.  I cleaned where the new washer and dryer we going and they carried the new ones in. Kimmy came and assisted them.  I left for up north and they all stayed and organized the laundry room. I thought Bill would do that tomorrow, but Kimmy wanted to help.  It was after 10:30 when I left, and way later when they left.

6/28/22 watched movie with Peyton and Isaac, Went to Northwoods, ice cream and lattes at McDonald’s, rain all night

Vikki, me and Peyton going through the make up and other stuff Aunt Vikki gave us.  We had so much fun.

Peyton with one of the purses...she's so cute!

Peyton, Isaac and I watched the movie, The Woodcarver.  It is such a great movie with such a wonderful message.  Vikki took a nap while we watched it.  She has been working so hard on the house a nap did her good.  Later on, we went to Northwoods and looked around, then went to McDonalds and got ice cream cones and Vikki and I used our Codes to get free lattes for in the morning.  It rained all day.  

Monday, 6/27/22, organized cupboards, had a negative COVID test, went for a bike ride and a walk around the campground

Delicious eggs, hash browns and sausage today

Slept in til 8:30, then made eggs, sausage, hash browns and toast for breakfast.  After breakfast I put worship on, spent time praying and reading God’s Word.  

At home, Bill walked 4 miles in the morning and 5 in the afternoon.  This makes me so happy, because I want him to stay in good shape to be healthy.  I went for a bike ride.  As I was leaving the camper, our neighbor next to us asked me when the kids were coming back.  I told him today.  He told me they were such polite kids.  He’s the second one in the campground to tell me that.  I sure am a proud nana.  

I walked the whole campground, then came back and ate dinner.  I sat in the Clam and read the book Debbie gave me called, Mothers and Daughters of the Bible.  Just in the first chapter, but it’s really good so far.  

Talked with Vikki, Kimmy and had a nice talk with Melissa for a while. Talked with Bill a few times too.  He’s feeling great today!  So happy about that!

Pastor sent me a message asking how I was.  He posted a prayer request saying to pray as there were several dozen who got COVID in our church.  Definitely praying!

Vikki and the twins came back up.  I am so happy to have them here!

Sunday, 6/26/22, Slept in, Alone and quarantining in the camper, worked on catching up blog posts, lots of phone chats

 

Slept in until 8:30.  Had oatmeal and Starbucks coffee for breakfast.  Talked with Bill several times checking on each other.  Talked to Vikki a couple of times too.  Knew Kimmy and Jared were going to help Vikki and Rody more today after church, so didn’t get to call her.  Had a very nice long phone chat with Melissa.  It’s 82 degrees today and the air has been staying on.  Thankful for that.  Listened Read my BibleCatching up on more blog posts to post when I’m home and can.  Usually no internet at all here and super slow when there is.  Today I actually had internet service a few times. Yay!  I did go for a bike ride at least.  Got pretty much caught up on my blog too. Will just need to post pictures when I get home.  

Watched Flywheel.  

Sat., 6/25/22, Made banana cream pudding for Moses graduation part. , We went to help Vikki clean and work at Rody’s moms house.

 

I made yummy goulash.  The kids all love goulash!

Bill brought trailer to help move things too. He sounded hoarse, so Vikki said she needed to test him for Covid.  He was shocked when he tested positive for COVID, so I had to leave and couldn’t help.   Bill worked outside with a mask.  I dropped off dessert to Mike for Moises graduation party.  Watered garden and flowers.  Spent time with Kit Kat.  Put Bill on the church prayer page.  Went to Vikki’s and took pizzas for everyone.  They tore up the carpets and the wood floors underneath are just beautiful.  It was amazing all they got done. there are being lol Got some groceries for him that he likes, and headed back up north to the camper. We are both quarantining.  Talked to all the girls and texted with Stacie and Aunt Vikki!  Hot 90 degree day again.  Made goulash.  Stayed at camper by myself.  Adam , Vikki and the kids were supposed to come back up but because of COVID chances didn’t.
