Bye bye pasture, hello Juniper Hills, welcome Moe!

A few things have been happening since my last post.  Judy fell two weeks ago helping pack Randy's place for the move.  She cracked a knee bone in her good knee.  A trip to the ER and then Dr. Schuller and now she's HitchHiker bound living in her chair, couch and bathroom.  It's getting better but we don't want to push it and risk our travels. 
Devyn and Dan helped me move out of the pasture and we have been in Juniper Hills CG over a week already. 
Randy sold his place and is very happy about it.  Over a few weeks he's casually moved out and will be moving in with Lisa.  Lisa has big news.......a new Harley, bigger than she is too.  Here they are in her garage checking it out.

The closing is 7/13 so I'll get to cut the grass one more time.  Before we left there was a wind storm one afternoon and that evening when it was very calm......BOOM.  A tree fell behind us and took out the power line to the house.  Our HH power is fine as we get AC from the barn.  The power company worked until 2am to restore power to the empty house.

Devyn will be off to Olivet College in 5 weeks and has already started soccer conditioning.  She and Dan loaded up Dan's enclosed trailer and took the gator and some other stuff down to Jody & Renato in GA.  They drove straight through both ways and spent several days there enjoying there family. 

We made the decision to test Moe living with us.  Randy can't keep her as Lisa has a big dog, she can't stay at Randy's old place as the new owners have dogs and cats.  So, she moved to Juniper Hills with us and is doing OK.  She goes out 2 or 3 times a day here but always stays nearby.   If we were in a busy (normal) CG she won't be out as much.  That will be the real test.

                                            Nap time
 This CG is the deadest and quietest we have ever been in.  In 10 nights we have seen 1 RV come in overnight and leave in the morning.  We are the only RV is this row.  There are several seasonal units here and are occasionally used.  We backup to a swamp and weeds so Moe is very happy out there with the Canadian geese.

    

The Atlanta gang is here and Devyn's graduation party

Jody, Renato, Brianna and Dustin flew up from Atlanta for Devyn's graduation, they are here for a week.  Judy and I got to take the kids to McDonalds a couple time so they could play in the fun room.  Randy had a tent and bouncy house for her graduation party and he and Renato grilled pork to make pulled pork for the party.  First the bouncy house had to be tested.

Who said a brother and sister can't work together?  Here's proof, getting the pool ready for the party.

                  Here's Randy and Lisa terrorizing the neighborhood.

The kids were busy washing Devyn's car and Dan's truck.

After the vehicles were clean it time to rest and watch a movie.

Or......take a nap, except Dan.

                                    Time for the party.

 After the party Jody, Renato, Brianna, Devyn spent a day at Cedar Point.   Ya think Brianna was excited?

While they were in Cedar Point we had Dustin and went to the park.

Devyn and Dan, THE new graduates!

 

Onsted HS awards ceremony

We attended Devyn's last high school awards ceremony where she earned several awards (including math and the only one recognized in science) and scholarships.  She was granted two local scholarships and a big one from Olivet College in Olivet, MI.  This was the main college she focused on and wanted to attend.  She's taking pre med and will play soccer.  Devyn graduated 4th of 132 in her class and was a straight 4.0 student throughout high school.  We are proud of you Devyn and lookout Olivet.....here she comes!

Onsted HS soccer

We have seen three soccer games, Onsted lost 2 but the one they won was 9-0 and was ended by the mercy rule, Devyn scored once.

 

Shipshewana

After we picked up the HitchHiker we spent 3 nights at Shipshewana South CG with Dave & Donna.

                     We spotted this rig below in the campground. 

We did one exploration after lunch one day to check out the Hall of Heros.  We drove by it the first time because it was behind a house. 

 We were the only people there and it's owned and ran by a fellow who once played Robin in either a Batman movie or TV show, I didn't catch which one.

                          How do you like this comic book hero?
