Devyn at summer camp

Devyn got to spend the week at a camp on Lake Michigan this past week and I got to pick her up Friday. It was a retreat and her two cousins were there also so got to see each other sometimes. She's pointing to Lake Michigan through the trees and she's beside the camps pool. In the other shot she's in her room, had the top bunk bed. She made the tie died shirt she's wearing.

Patches liked my computer case so much Judy bought her a cat bed, she smelled it, looked at it, and ignored it. It was returned.

Hi Lone Granger (Debbie)

While following one of our HitchHiker friends on her forum we found she was in Ohio. Debbie (NuWa Owners Forum name Lone Granger) has organized 3 rallies we have attended, the last being in AZ last March. Since then she has been RVing the USA. We give her LOTS of credit for doing this solo, her companion is Hunter, a yellow lab. She has a goal to spend at least one night in each of the lower 48 states between the March rally and one in October in Washington. I contacted her hoping MI would be next in her schedule and she was headed for Tecumseh, 17 miles away and already had a reservation. Judy wasn't quite up to eating following a routine medical test so Deb & I had supper at Sals in Tecumseh then stopped by our place to introduce her to Kristi's critters...plus Patches. Only the horses didn't make an appearance.

Dr Jody goes home & we party with Clayton

We hope Jody had a good time up here relaxing with family before returning to Biloxi. She said goodbye to all the horses and goats before departing. We did some local sightseeing before she left Tuesday. Bankshot basketball, the batting cages, Mystery Hill, and of course the Dairy Bar. On Sunday Judy & I went to Sterling State Park in Monroe to see Clayton & Pat before they headed east. Sisters MaryLou (& Sam) along with Jean (& friend Mary) were there along with old time friends Bill & Cathy. In preparation for all this Devyn spruced me up a little by shaving the beard.

Here's my sister Bev with her daughter Jill and her daughters Haleigh & Hannah.

Congratulations Jody....Dr Bahnmiller.

Sunday we had a party to honor Jody becoming a doctor. We had the pleasure of family & friends join us for the celebration. Jody is here for 10 days, she graduated from her 3 year residency at the University of South Alabama the end of June. She has moved to Biloxi & is waiting for her Mississippi Medical License before she starts work in a clinic with another doctor in Long Beach, hopefully September 1. Becoming a physician takes more patience than I have. I think that the medical educators and administration makes more $$$ than a doctor and they enjoy dragging everything out.
Now, if I could only get the blog to put the pictures where I thought I put them.

Onsted, MI with Randy, Kristi & Devyn

We arrived in Onsted Wednesday evening, Randy is out of town working so Kristi, Judy and I joined Neil & Calvin at the Moose for a drink and steak supper. On Thursday Judy did some cleaning and I cut the grass for Sundays party recognizing Jody's achievements, Dr Bahnmiller. Thursday afternoon Pat & Clayton arrived from St Augustine and set up next to us in the pasture. Friday Devyn arrived and Saturday Jody arrived, we are all here now!

At MOR/ryde

We spent Monday night set up in MOR/ryde's lot with 30a power. At 7am Tuesday we entered their shop and the work started. We spent Tuesday night inside our HH inside the shop with no wheels. Interesting. MOR/ryde has a very nice lounge with WiFi, snacks and a free lunch so we took advantage of that. There were several other RVers there so we had some good discussions in between us doing errands in Elkhart. Beside the pain of paying for the new suspension system we also experienced the pain of getting up at 6:30am two days in a row. Wednesday afternoon the work was finished and we had wheels again so we made the 110 mile trip to Randy's, Kristi's and Devyn's home. We set up in the pasture with 50a and water. We left room for Clayton & Pat who will arrive Thursday. Judy did some house cleaning while I cut the grass in preparation of Sunday's party for Dr Bahnmiller. Go doc go!!!!!!

North bound to Indiana

We had a good time at the rally and really enjoy spending time with our RV friends. We pulled out Sunday for the 2 day trip to Elkhart, IN and the MOR/ryde shop. We are going to upgrade our HH suspension system so the HH rides smoother since it has been ruffer due to the better tires we had installed last summer. A smoother ride should mean more reliability and a longer life for our home on wheels. We spent the night in a small CG somewhere in IN.
