Dr. Pol, Jared, and Mrs. Pol...Jared was so happy to have this picture taken...look at that smile

Bill walked, but I stayed home and put last minute stuff in the camper before it started raining.  Took my sweet Missy to therapy and came home put slide outs in and Bill hooked the camper up to the truck.  We got to the campground at 1:30.  Doesn’t take long to set up this camper!  So easy!  We went to the camp store to register.  They sure need to replenish their supplies.  Probably will before the weekend. We sat outside for a while and then went to Fergie’s for their great pizza.  It was delicious!  Went for a walk when we got back.  Happy to get my 10,000 steps.  Put the clam up.  Watched Jeopardy!  James is almost at 2 million dollars.  We played 3-13.  I won the first game going up the hill and was like -30 and Bill had over 120 points.  We started going down the hill and Melissa called.  She talked on speaker the whole game and I literally went downhill.  I threw two kings which were wild.  Bill missed both of them ha ha.  I started getting stuck with lots of points after that and he beat me. Yikes.  I tore the score sheet up because that’s what he does when he loses. 

5/21/19... Breakfast at Sullivans, Got groceries, PTSD Ladies meeting, Packed, Hailey's Spring Concert

Evan and Bruce watching a rollercoaster ride

Celeste and Hailey Middle Row

We went to our breakfast.  Then I went to Melissa's for a visit afterward.  Got groceries and took them home, before going to VA to a PTSD Lady's Meeting for wives of servicemen with PTSD.

Biggest group of women they have had.  We are going through a book and discussing it.  Afterward we had pulled pork, pizza and cookies.  Came home after that and packed more in the camper.  Bill was packing stuff too and loading the front end with stuff he had taken out for the winter.

Made dinner and then went to Hailey's Spring Concert at the Heritage Theatre.  I am reminding her she performed on the same stage as For King and Country.  She and all the kids did a great job.  We waited to see her afterwards and congratulate her.  Melissa, Bruce and Evan sat next to us.  She was using her cane.  I guess she didn't think we were in a crowd. Ha Ha.  Bruce was helping her if she needed it though.  She did great.  Fun evening enjoying the music.  Got home and watched Jeopardy which I taped.  

Monday, 5/20/19 Walked two miles, Worked on packing, Visited Lois, Went to Souper Cafe, Ice cream at Mooneys

Bill and I walked 2 miles.  Bill helped Rich pick up some stuff at Lowes.  I ate and then started packing stuff on my camping list.  Did a couple loads of laundry too.  Bill wanted me to go visit Ken's (the 98 year old Marine in World War 2 being honored by the Marine Corp league and Ken Horn at the capital) wife.  She was so sweet. Lois is 92 and was standing with an 82 year old friend when we got there.  Bill asked her if she wanted to sit down and talk, but she said she was fine standing.  We were there quite a while and they stood the whole time.  What nice people.  So happy I got to meet them.  We went to Souper Cafe and had the half sandwich and soup.  Yum! Then we went to Mooney's for sundaes.  We went to Target and got Adam's birthday present and Bill exchanged some stuff he bought at Penney's.  Melissa called and said she had a hummingbird at her feeder.  Then it just sat on a branch for a long time.  So happy she is getting hummingbirds.  I have lots of orioles, but haven't seen a hummingbird yet.  Talked to Bruce and he and Jack just picked up their camper from our house.  Jack was looking all over for us.  Too bad we missed them.  We came home and watched Jeopardy.  Watched a Hallmark Movie.

Sunday 5/19/19....Went to church, had Woody's hotdogs at church, 2 Teaching seminars

Kenzie called me when I was getting ready for church. I was worried at first because I'm not used to getting calls early on Sunday.  She just wanted to talk and was doing fine.  We went to church, but drove separate.  We had a special speaker who spoke on missions.  We ate hot dogs from Woody's under a big tent behind the church.  I've always wanted to try their hot dogs.  They were yummy.  Bill had to go to do an opening prayer for a 16 year old scout who became an Eagle Scout.  The marines presented him with an award too.  I stayed at church and attended two teaching sessions by Todd Ahrends on God and Missions.  It was really good.  It started pouring hard right before it was time to head home.  I talked to Vikki, Melissa and Kimmy.  I could hear Jacob in the background telling me he had gotten sleep.  He didn't get much on his trip.  He wants be beat me in steps with his fitbit, so I told him he could just sleep all day.  He's only 11,000 steps ahead of me.  Ha Ha!  Bill came home for a little while and then had to go collect money at Walmart again.  When he got home, we ate and then watched When Calls the Heart.

Sat. 5/18/19, Happy Birthday to my sweet and amazing grandson, Adam. Went to Max and Jack's track meet, Went to Melissa's, Visited Bill at Walmart, Went to Coco Loco's, Walked through Penneys and Sams

Happy  12th Birthday Adam!  I love you so much!

My zinnias are finally coming up in the little pot Hailey painted for me for Christmas.  I had to replant as I used different soil than the other two pots.  Got flowers in those, but none in the turquoise one. Happy to see them pop up now. Thanks Hailey!

Bill at Coco Loco's

Tried to call Adam to wish him Happy Birthday.  No answer, so I left a message.  Went  to Max and Jack's Track Meet.  It was in the 50's and cold.  I saw Hailey right when I got there, so went up to her.    Then I saw Max and Bruce.  Walked with them to the long jump.  So nice to see Max and Jack jump.  I got cold so didn't wait for another hour to watch them run.  Went to Melissa's and dropped off some clothes I found at garage sales yesterday.  Nice clothes for 50 cents or $1.  Great deals.  Found one shirt that looked just like Melissa would love.  She did and it fit her great.  So Happy!  We had a nice time talking and listening to Evan's piano, violin and recorder concerts.  He's pretty talented at playing notes that go well together on the piano.  I tried to call Adam several times during the day, and missed one returned call when I went outside to mail some cards and got side tracked with pulling weeds and trimming bushes  We finally connected and I was happy to talk to Adam and happy to hear Jacob was home and get to talk to him too.  Eli too!
I copied off my camping list and started making a list of what I need to get for our trip. Went to visit Bill at Walmart where he was collecting money for the Marine Corp. League.  After he was done, we were going to go to Culver's, but then he asked me if I wanted to go to Coco Loco!  I sure did.  I go there with Hailey (it's her favorite place) and she got me loving the Nacho's with ground beef and beans.  We had a nice date.  We came home and watched the movie Like Arrows.  It had a great meaning.

Friday, 5/17/19, Walked at SportZone, Went to Melissa's, Went to garage sales,

Had to replant the zinnias in Hailey little planter she painted for me for Christmas.  They are finally coming up. Yay

Finished dinner....Steak, green beans, potatoes, and fruit salad.  It was delicious!

Bill and I walked two miles and then came home and had breakfast.  I went to Melissa's early so I could sew her shirt for her.  I took her to therapy, and then I went to hear Max play his trombone in the Music Festival Competition.  I saw Max and talked to him just before he went in to the gym at Peace Lutheran.  The band sounded amazing and Max played great.  I decided to go to Jack's and get some fruit for a salad, and the subdivision next to the school was having garage sales.  Matt Starke had posted it on facebook, but I didn't think of it until I saw the signs.  I decided to go to some.  I called Bill and he came, but he just wanted to drive through in his truck and I wanted to walk.  He gave me some money to do more shopping.  I found lots of good stuff and got lots more steps.  Went to Jacks after that and came home.  Bill was mowing the grass.  Melissa called and said her doctor appointment after therapy went well.  I was happy to hear from her.  I showed her my garage sale finds.  I washed all the clothes I found.  Bill grilled sirloin steaks and I made potatoes up for him to grill.  Supper was delicious. We watched the news, game shows and a movie!

Thursday, 5/16/19, Started cleaning camper and loading some things, Picked up Hailey and took her to Volunteer at Bethlehem

Big snapping turtle Vikki tried to help cross our road

Front view

Nice picture of Jacob on his trip

Jacob's group photo

Lucy in the jeep we gave her.  It used to be Kenzie's.  Still runs great and they said she loves it.

Slept in until 8.  Went outside and read my Bible and listened to worship music.  Prayed outside too.  It was so beautiful out!  Lots of Orioles this year feeding off the oriole and hummingbird feeders.  Worked on cleaning the camper and did some packing too.  Put my worship music on while I worked.  Vikki came over and got the screen out of the bunkhouse for me. It is an emergency exit window and she practice opening them last year so I called her.  The screen had come out on a corner, so Bill put it back in.  I decided to just put it in the attic, because its on the inside of the window by the top bunk and it's just going to get bumped again.  We have the air going in there at night so don't need it. We walked down the road two houses and across the street and saw the big snapping turtle she had just tried to help get out of the road before it got run over.  

It was in the neighbor's driveway, so we just left it.  After she left here, she sent me a picture and it was in the middle of the neighbor's yard, so it was making good progress and was safe.  Kimmy sent some more nice pictures of Jacob.  So happy to get them.
