We have been in Edinburgh for Labor Day weekend, because the 4th was Scott's (Larry's son) birthday.  We swam and played games and just enjoyed our time with Mady and Scott.  Oh and the first day we arrived I went over to the Outlet Mall and shopped for hours!

Here are pictures of our granddaughter and her Grandad in the pool!

Love Larry's goggles!

We spent 5 nights at Larry's brothers house in western Kentucky.  Larry's family reunion was last Saturday.  The picture above is from the front door of our fifth-wheel at sunset.  Below is a picture of our fifth-wheel set up in the back yard.  It is a nice way to visit, because it gives both parties a break from each others company, unlike if we were staying in their house.  And yet we were able to spent some quality time with my brother in-law and his wife.

We were unable to get any internet service at their house or even in the town.  We did get phone service on the "extended network", so I guess I should be thankful for that.  This is the only place, so far, that we don't get the internet on my phone.  That's Kentucky for you!

Larry had a good reunion.  All of his siblings were able to attend.  Scott and Mady were able to attend also.  Johnny was called back to work, so Jenifer and her family were unable to make it.

For now we are back at the house.  Yes, it is still on the market!!  All though we have a young couple that have looked at it three times, so everyone say your prayers!

Back in Indiana and it is hot and humid.  We are in a campground near Noblesville.  My great niece is being baptised tomorrow and we are attending.  The baptism will be at a church in Indy and several members of my family will be there. It will be good to see everybody.

Friday was our last full day in Michigan and we tubed down the Muskegon in Big Rapids.  The water was cold when we first started but it soon felt very cool and refreshing.  We were on the river for about an hour and we traveled about a mile.  The river dropped 18ft in that mile so we had many rapids to go though and it was great fun.  I highly recommend it!

Well, we are in Michigan, near Big Rapids, which is north of Grand Rapids by about an hour.  The nights are in the  60s and the days are in the low to mid 80s.  The grass is green and the rivers and lakes are clear and cool.  Why don't I live here in the summer?

Yesterday we visited two light houses on the west coast near a town called Ludington.  I didn't realize that I had a fear of heights until I stated down for the first light house.  But I made it fine, even though Larry was laughing at me!  The first light did not include a house since it was in town and can be walked to by way of a jetty.  This one is North Breakwater Light.  The second one was located in a state park and only access by a walk of about two miles.  It is the more traditional lighthouse and is called Big Sable Point Lighthouse.

Nothing too exciting to report.  We are back at the house, which has still not sold.  And it is hot in southern Indiana!

Last week we did go down to Alabama to visit Larry's daughter and her family at their new house.  We did not take the fifth wheel, but stayed in the new house with them.  The house is very nice, kind of big and it is on several acres with right to a lake at one end of the property.  Zander and Larry fished off on on for the first two days we were there.  They caught 4 good size catfish and Larry showed Zander how to clean them.  We had fried catfish for lunch on Saturday!!  Lexie just turned 17 and is beautiful your women.  She had started a new job and was gone for sereval hours each day.  It was good to see them all and see their new house.  Below is a picture of Zander with the catch of one day.  Also is a picture of Lexie and her proud Grandad.

Hope to back on the road soon!  Little house big back yard!!

We are still in Harmonie SP.  Doing some workcamping again this week.  We had alot of rain last week and that means fewer campers.

One of the neatest things about this park is the hummingbirds.  We have three feeders up and are filling them up at least once a day.  We have one feeder on our back window that we have to fill two or three times a day.  We don't know why the birds like this feeder so well, but the do.  Sometimes we have as many as eight to tens birds trying to feed at once.  In fact, below is a picture of two birds feeding at the same "flower" at the same time, which we have never seen before!

We are volunteering at a State Park till the end of June.  We have to put in 20 hours of work and we get our campground site free of charge.  This is not too bad.  The work is outdoors and Larry does more than his share, most of the time.

My friend Jean was in the park today to visit with her Mom and Dad who are here with their camping group.  It was good to see her and Brent, even if it was for short while.  Her parents and their friends came over and ask Larry if he would come over and play and sing a few songs.  Of course they did not have to ask twice.  I went over with him and we had a good time.  They are a friendly bunch.

Little house big back yard!!

See you all later!
