Michigan for 3 weeks !!!

While we were spending 3 weeks on vacation in Michigan, we decided to buy a small camper... yes small.... 21 feet... but it does have a bathroom and 2 beds and a big table and small kitchen... a.c.... It pulls easy with the used van we just bought from friends in Mi. We drove a rental car up from Florida.. We have been busy visiting friends and family and attending Heman's Family Camp for 8 days..... We fly back to Florida on Wednesday for 3 weeks and fly back to Mi. again in August to attend 2 Reunions.... Then the plans are to drive our van and camper back home to Fl. It has been a busy summer so far. We are taking our 14 year old grand daughter Elizabeth with us to Fl. when we fly back........... for a 3 week vacation !!!!

Our new ( used ) van... LOVE it !!!!!

Michigan ... cold and rainy !!!!

We are in Michigan at daughter Kristy's in West Branch.. It is sure colder and rainier than sunny Florida !!! We leave tomorrow to go down to Heman's... our church camp near Marlette in the Thumb... We have had a very busy past month as our grand daughter Andrea was VERY sick and in the hospital for 4 weeks.... I spent some time up there so Kari and Ben could work. She is doing much better now and even went swimming in our pool the other day !!! PTL !!!! We stopped in Tn. on our way to Michigan to meet daughter Kathi and drop off Christian. He spent 53 days with us in Florida.. Boy did we have a good time !!! He is one easy boy to have around... and we miss him.... Won't be able to blog when we are at camp but hope to have some good pictures after that..

I can see that people do not post as much as they used to... is it FB or just too busy?? We have been having a great time with Christian ... He has been in the pool EVERY day ...as is his goal. He has been home schooled so every day we have been reading and doing a lot of math.... He is always anxious of his cousins to come over and swim but they are in public school.... so that is not always easy. Tim has been painting at our pastor's house... Abby is finishing her schooling. She will graduate with a 4.00 !!!!! Still not sure what our summer brings... A trip to Michigan !!!

Just returned from a trip to Tn. to visit our new grandson Jonathan Corban. We brought back our 10 year old grandson Christian with us. He sure loves the pool and has been swimming every day ! We were 50 miles north of the devastating tornadoes but it was sure stormy !!! Saw some damage along I 75 on the way home...

Tim and Christian before we left Tn. to start home on Friday !! Tim is wearing his new Christian T shirt he got for his Birthday... Tim and our son Mark love to wear Christian T shirts !!

New Blog

Hope that you like my new blog look for the spring !! My grand daughter Abby helped me... We have been busy with working and swimming and enjoying company and the grand kids.. Plan a trip to see our grand kids in Tn. after Easter !! Swimming and a ham dinner for Easter !!! It has been HOT and in the 80's lately... Tim has been volunteering to work... Had Free Methodist Missionary friends Ken and Letty Myers from Mexico visit us lately in between their misssion fields... They are a neat family.. Their kids LOVED the pool...

Tim's 70th Birthday !!!

On Sunday, we celebrated Tim's 70th Birthday by having a very nice dinner party... It was actually put on by grand daughter Abby.. ( front row left ) for her school grade.. We all gave her an A plus !!! There were 17 there with 2 of our kids and families and my sister and husband... Very good food ( roast beef ) and caramel apple pie !!! This is Kari's living room here in Florida..We have the same rug...Nine of our 20 grand kids.. They put on a nice performance and gave lovely gifts... which I will get to share,too !! Pizza Hut gift card, a novel and t-shirt ( NOT my size !! )

Our church just had a directory made.. so... Can you believe Tim will be 70 ??? I think he looks great !!!! Have been busy with daughter Kari and her family moving just 3 miles from us when they were 1700 miles in Wisconsin... The weather has been in the 80's every day so lots of swimming !!! Have also enjoyed having my sister Donna and Dick just 3/4 mile away for the past 3 months... Still looking at RV's and plan to do a few Sower projects... GOD is good !!!
