Evening walk with Isaac.  Peyton wanted to stay with Papa

Bill came back up to the campground.  Vikki , Peyton and Isaac came up too.  We went for a walk and saw a beautiful black golden doodle.  We also went swimming and relaxed in the hot tub!  I made chicken and Vikki brought yummy carrots and potatoes!  Peyton likes hers mashed together like we do!  We went for ice cream afterwards at the pavilion but the were already closed.  Bill played dice with Peyton while Vikki, Isaac and I walked.  After the kids went to bed, Vikki, Bill and I played 3-13 while we listened to a new worship CD Vikki brought.  Vikki won! 

5/25/17....Quiet, cool day today.

Kimmy and Jared's new deck they built!  Looks so great!

Used my new induction burner for the first time in the camper to boil eggs.  It works great!  Fast and easy to wipe off afterwards.  Thank you girls and families!

Not much going on today.  I am reading The Way of a Shepherd.  It's a book our pastor wants us to read.  Very interesting as it relates sheep and a shepherd to us.  I am going to pass it on to Kimmy and Jared when I am done.  Bill went to the doctor and has to have an appointment with and ENT doctor as the problem is in his throat, not cause by his medicine.  Praying for God to heal him of this cough quickly.

5/24/17...Max and his relay team place third in the relay.

Here's my fast runner in action

Went home for the day!  Everything looked beautiful in blossom.  Bill did an amazing job on the edging in the back of the house!!!

I went home early in the morning and went out to breakfast with Kenzie.  I took her diploma to her and a camping chair.  We had a nice visit.  Saw a nice young guy in Tim Horton's taking care of a guy from Riversbend Brain Injury Home where Joel lives.  Talked to him for a while and thanked him for what he does and how kind they are there.  Went to Vikki's for a minute.  Got home and Bill had all the edging done in the back of the house.  I had told him I would help when I got home but he hurried and got it done.  Don't know how he did it with his knees how they are, but where there's a will there's a way.  Everything sure looked beautiful in the yard.  We went to Home Depot and got tubing and netting to put over our strawberries.  They are looking so nice and sure don't want the birds to get them.  Called my dentist to see if they took Bill's insurance.  They had a cancellation so took him in at 3 p.m. today.  We met Sue, Chuck, Vicky, Jeff, Gary, Dorthy, Kenny and Kitty for steak sandwiches at the Falcon's Club.  They were delicious.  We went home and I packed some stuff and headed back up to the camper.  Bill has a doctor appt. tomorrow so will be coming up Friday.  Got to the camper safely.  Went to bed at 9 as I was really tired and my sinus's were acting up.  Melissa messaged me that they had taken Hailey in and she was having stitches in her foot.  I  didn't get it till 4 in the morning when I woke up because my head was stuffed up.  Hailey had got up and not turned the light on and her foot landed on the carpet shampooer and got cut.  My poor girl.  Praying it heals quickly.

5/23/17. Kimmy came up for the day.

Got ready, took doggie out, made coffee and was about to walk to the store when Kimmygot here.  I was one happy mom to see her.  We went for a ride on our Dahon bikes.  I haven't gone by myself because I was concerned something might happen.  They are foldable so I wanted to make sure I had everything right.  Kimmy helped get everything set right on them, took care of a tire rubbing issue, and then they were as good a new!  She is amazing at fixing things and figuring things out.We rode to the store.  We got back and we figured out how to fold the bikes and put them in their carrying bags.
We went to the clubhouse and watched a video on it and then went outside and practiced.  Good thing Kimmy was here to help me.  We came back to the camper and really got it down good.  Love these bikes I got at a garagesale.  They ride really nice and can coast for a long way! We went for a walk around the campground, but headed back whennit started to sprinkle.  Made lunch and sat in the clam to eat it.  After lunch, we went swimming.  We were going to swim actively for a half hour, always moving.  Well it seemed like forever for time to pass.  We went in the hot tub and Kimmy said the clock was stopping.  I went and checked my phone for the time and it said 1:43, not 1:15 like the clock said.  We must have been moving in the pool for one hour.  We should sleep good tonight.  When we got back, I looked at all the beautiful school dinner bags Kimmy, Jared and the boys had decorated,  they had a big stack and they were beautiful!  So thankful for their help and Vikki and the kids help!  Kimmy left at 2:30.  It was just sprinkling until she got close to home where it started raining harder.  I was happy to hear she was home safe.  Such a fun day with her

5/22/17....Rained in the early morning, but then was a beautiful day. Went for a walk, went for a swim and spent time in the Clam.

Heard it raining out before I got up.  Got up and got ready so I could take Mocha outside.  Happy the rain had stopped.  Ate corn flakes for breakfast.  I haven't had them for a long time so they tasted great, especially with Kimmy and Jared's honey on them.  I went for a walk around the campground.  There are still a lot of campers here.  I went to the clubhouse so I could get wifi to catch up on my blog.  After that, I went swimming. Kept moving in the pool for the first half hour.  Time sure went slow.  I was wondering if the battery is getting old in their clock.  Came back to the camper and had lunch.  Sat out in the Clam screen tent for a while and read and relaxed.  Weather still is nice out and 67 degrees.  I watched the movie, "Loce Comes Softly".  Bill called to see how I was doing.  He told me he picked up the sod pieces that were around the back of the house from me digging to make landscape area bigger.  That sure was nice of him!  Talked to my girls.  Kimmy is coming up tomorrow.  Can't wait.  Sure love my family and I sure am blessed!

Took some pictures of the camper for this year's post

5/21/17...went home and Bill and I went to Meijers to meet Faith Riders and ride together to Hopevale

Nice day....didn't have to bundle up after swimming

Drove and got home at 7:30 a.m..  Got ready and packed the stuff we needed for our Faith Rider's table at the church!  I drove the car and Bill went on the motorcycle.  I saw two eagles sitting in the tree by their nest on the way.  We had a great turnout, especially with rain in the forecast.  Saw lots of people we know there.  The service was really nice.  Great message on solving conflict God's way.  Afterwards we went to stand by our stuff and talk to people.  Some went out by the motorcycles.  We had about 5 people that want to join Faith Riders.  I go to see Kelly, Ryan, Abby and Christopher. I as so happy to see them and of course asked about Michael.  Michael was in my Sunday School class and is such a sweet boy.  His dad told me Michael was just talking about me yesterday and saying how much he missed me.  Kelly told me to wait because she wanted to get him from Sunday School so he could see me. I sure was happy to see him and get a hug.  He was happy too.  It made my day.  Kelly brought Ally over to see me before we left too. Bill had to pass out flags at Walmart for the Marine Corp. League.  I came back up north to spend time with Vikki, Peyton and Isaac.  I sure got a good welcome from my sweeties!  I was very happy to when Vikki showed me all of the bags for snack lunch dinners for schools Vikki and the kids decorated.  Sure were beautiful and sure was a help to me having them done.  Not too many left to decorate.  I am praying over these bags that will go to these kiddos whoever they are.  We went swimming.  A little girl around 2 almost drowned, but a boy about 11 who was in the hot tub ran and jumped in and saved her.  Her mom was trying to get to her but was way at the end of the pool.  You can see Vikki's blog for picture and details.  After that we ate spaghetti, went for a walk and looked in a new handicapped cabins.  We sat in the screen tent and relaxed for a while too while the kids played with three other kids. Vikki had to leave at seven. She blessed me by picking up some clips to put on the clam tent. But makes putting the side flaps up and down super easy.  Thank you Vikki!  I did some cleaning and sorting to get rid of stuff I don't use.
