Back to our home..motorhome!!!

Since last I wrote we have visited with some Sower friends that we met and worked with in Tn. in April. It seems like we have known them for years and we had such a good time. They have a lovely home near Edmore, Mi. We went out to dinner together and spent the night... On Thursday, we drove to my brother-in-law's near Grand Rapids but could not find him at home.. We did go to the cemetary where my sister Betty is buried and put flowers out.. Now we are back in Elkhart, In. but since our m.h. is not finished yet.. the Monoco RV put us " up for the night" in a gorgeous suite called Candlewood .... Plan to leave tomorrow for Brown City, Mi. Our next project starts Monday morning...We have been gone from our m.h. 11 nights and drove close to 1,000 miles .... Thank GOD for all the safe miles and people we visited.. Carole

My Siblings

These are my siblings that I have left since the passing of my sister Betty in '05 and my folks. You probably recognize Tim and me... Where do we live?? "On the road."
My brother Orlo and his wife Dort. live in Mancelona.. He is 8 years older thus we have never been real close..
My sister Donna and her husband Dick live in Cheboygan. She is retiring from being the elementary principal at Pellston this year. We were raised almost like twins and are still very close.... We plan some good times in the future..

Our travels!!!

We are at our daughter Kristy's and the kids are in school so I can check my blogs and post.. We have traveled many miles and visited a lot since I last blogged. We did make it to the village cafe near Traverse City for our BLT'S but the restaurant was "under new management" so not as good as we remembered.. On Friday we drove up to Mancelona to visit at my brother's, then on to Cheboygan to my sister's.. Ate whitefish at Darrow's in Mackinaw... yumm!! Crossed the Bridge and visited daughter Kari at NewBerry... Now we are near West Branch at Kristy's. We have visited 31 family and friends since I last wrote.. WOW!!! Plans for leaving in the morning to go back to Elkhart to pick up our m.h. and head for our next project in Brown City, Mi.

Our plans

Hi
I have not been near a computer for a few days so could not blog.. I have no pictures to post as I am not using my computer. We are in Michigan now for the summer. We have not been here since last Sept.. Have had Dr. appt. on Tuesday and Wednesday. Visited with friends in South Bend.. Really had a GOOD time!!! Then tonight we visited with 2 of Tim's sisters and tomorrow night his brother.. Probably won't see them for the rest of the summer as we won't get on this side of the state.. especially with the price of diesel.. We have a 100 gallon tank in our m.h. so at close to $5.00/ gallon ... you do the math!!!! Our next Sower project is Brown City camp near Marlette... This will be our 3rd time there so we know the director and all the people we are working with.. They always give each couple the use of a golf cart while we are there. Maybe I'll blog that...The guys that were injured so bad in the car wreck in Aldama, Mexico are improving slowly. The people are treating them like royalty... providing food, entertaining, pushing them around in wheel chairs... But keep praying.. they have a long way to go to heal.. physically and emotionally.. Looks like I write more when I don't send pictures.... Not sure when our m.h. will be ready in Elkhart, In. Will probably go back to get it on Friday or Sat... Tomorrow we plan to go up to see the cemetery where Tim's family is buried and put flowers out... near Traverse City.. His 2 sisters are going a long... And we even plan to stop at a little cafe in Thompsonville where they have the BEST BLT sandwiches!!! We'll see... Carole

Cedar Point !!!

This is the gang that met at Cedar Point Amusement Park on Friday.. There were 8 adults and 12 kids... The weather was PERFECT even though it had been raining for days... Rode LOTS of rides, ate LOTS of food, walked MILES around in the park and smiled for LOTS of pictures.. I think it was field trips for every high school in the area near and far as there were hundred of teen- agers.... I only rode on the NEEDLE and did not eat the fudge.. ( family tradition ).. It was good to see the kids and grandkids as most of them we had not seen since last Sept... It was a very good day for memories.. THANK YOU GOD!!

Creation Museum

This scene of Adam and Eve is from The Creation Museum . We spent 6 hours there on Friday .. It was VERY GOOD!! They say it is in Ohio but actually it is in Hebron, Ky. Cost..$20.00 or $15. for seniors.. Pays to be OLD!! They have lots of videos to see, walk thru tour, Noah's Ark, dinosaurs and Noah's Cafe and Grill... A fun place...

Most popular names!!

Did you know the MOST popular names are: Girls... Emily, Isabella and Emma .... Boys names are: Jacob, Michael and Ethan..2 of our grandkids have those names and our GPS system in our vehicle we call EMMA... Thought that you might want to know.. Carole
