Renfro Gospel music

Today we made the 160 mile trip to Renfro Valley, KY. We will stay 2 nights and tonight we went to a gospel music performance across the street in the Red Barn. It wasn't fancy but for $10 each it was great entertainment. They did good, there was a whopping 45 people in attendance & we really enjoyed it.

Places to go & things to do

We said our goodbyes to Randy & Kristi Sunday morning and pulled out about 10. We saw Devyn Saturday at her first soccer game and said our good bye with a group hug.

We spent Sunday night just outside Cincinnati at a nice county park, you'd never know you were in a metropolitan area. We had supper with Judy's niece Diane, husband Pat and their youngest son Josh who had his girlfriend Megan over. Thanks for feeding us!

Sister, inlaws, friends & Devyn

Here's my little sister Bev, we got to see her twice while we were in Michigan. Retired and happy now too!

The threesome is Judy's sisters Jean, Mary Lou and her better half Sam. We met at Jeans and went to Denny's for supper

The laughing group are our good friends Zola, Joan & Al, Don and Judy. We were together playing cards....poker, dealers choice.

Home from her fist day of school.....a seventh grader. Stylish attire huh? Here's the seasons first soccer game and D is not afraid to mix it up with

the boys. You go girl!

M&M II rally Thursday

Today is the last day so we had the "must have" games of ladder ball & washer toss. Ron & Lois and Ron & Roberta were the champs this year. Friday morning we are returning to randy & Kristi's pasture. We arrived early in the afternoon so we had about 4 hours with Devyn before she went to moms.

If you are curious Judy & I left with $75 of Little River's Casino $$$$.

M&M II trolley & Babcock House Wednesday

On Tuesday we took a trolley ride in Manistee to learn and see more of the city. After the trolley most of us returned to the casino for lunch. Part of the package to have the rally at Little River was $10 per person per day for food at one of the casinos three restaurants. We each also received $50 in casino money. After lunch we went to the Babcock house for a tour, the place was full of old stuff, the house was built in 1880.

M&M II HitchHiker Rally Monday

On Saturday we went 260 miles north to the Little River Casino in Manistee, MI for a HitchHiker rally. Judy & I organized it so we went in a day early. The first 3 years we had our HitchHiker we gathered with Michigan RV friends for lunch. Last year we had the first rally so we are continuing the tradition. Attendees this year are from MI, TX, NB, OH, & FL. There are 13 HitchHikers due to be here this week. Sunday evening we had the opening pot luck dinner then planned our activities . On Monday we went to Silver Lake to ride the dune buggy beside Lake Michigan then back to Manistee and lunch at the Road House. The ride was NOT a thrill ride unfortunately. Judy's dad told her years ago he would not do it again so her hopes were pretty high & she was disappointed but the group did enjoy it.
Tuesday we will have a rib-let and sweet corn pot luck in the afternoon after the guys gather (& the girls too) separately to do some serious RV talk'n.

Some vacation huh Renato?

GOOD job Renato!!!!

Jody & Renato flew up for a weeks vacation and visit. Renato wanted to help Randy tile the main bathroom and it took ALL week to do. In fact they worked some 12 hour days and finished 10 minutes before Renato had to get cleaned up for the return trip to Biloxi, even after they extended their stay a day. I will say the marble shower enclosure and floor look really nice. Renato is experienced working with tile, the shower is made for two, I think the plan is for Randy & Kristi, not Renato.
