Very complicated quilt Joyce has made.

On way from West Branch, MI yesterday we stopped in Houghton Lake, MI
and visited a bit with Ron and Ruth Siegfried (From Kenwood RV)

Ruth Siegfried

We were allowed to pay $2.55 for gas in Kalamazoo yesterday

During the partial sun eclipse Monday, the 21st, we were at
Sugar Barn maple syrup farm north of West Branch, MI

Our last evening at Winslows.  Granddaughter Courtney giving her grandpa Bill
Bailey.  Courtney works in Grand Rapids and had some time off to visit
her parents and grandparents.  Darlene is behind her.

We spent 4 enjoyable days at Winslow's, attending the fair 2 days and spending time with them at their home the last 2 days.  Came down the west side of Michigan on 131 so saw different scenery from when we went north.  Had rained during the early morning hours Tuesday, but quit by the time we had to pack up and hook up the trailer.  Got to Cold Brook County Park in Climax, MI about 3:15 pm and set up and drove to Joyce Holder's place in Battle Creek.  Enjoyed an hour or so visiting with her and then drove to Betty's place in Portage, MI.  Her daughter Cheryl and granddaughter Michelle are here from New Jersey helping her get settled in as she only moved into this apartment complex on July 10th.  We took them out to local Texas Road House for supper last night and then returned to the apartment for a bit.  Returned the 17 miles to Cold Brook County Park and this morning are back at Betty's.  We have no wifi at the park and such a low Verizon signal that couldn't even use the hotspot, so catching up here.  Will either head on east today, or spend more time at Betty's and head out tomorrow.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  A Chinese Doctor can't find a job in a Hospital in the US, so he opens his own clinic and puts a sign outside
'GET TREATMENT FOR $20 - IF NOT CURED GET BACK $100.'
An American lawyer thinks this is a great opportunity to earn $100 and goes to the clinic.
Lawyer: 'I have lost my sense of taste.'
Chinese: 'Nurse, bring medicine from box No. 22 and put 3 drops in patient's mouth.'
Lawyer: 'Ugh. this is kerosene.'
Chinese: 'Congrats, your sense of taste is restored. Give me $20.'
The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to recover his money.
Lawyer: 'I have lost my memory. I cannot remember anything.'
Chinese: 'Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 22 and put 3 drops in his mouth.'
Lawyer (annoyed): 'This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste.'
Chinese: 'Congrats. You got your memory back. Give me $20.'
The fuming lawyer pays him, and then comes back a week later determined to get back $100.
Lawyer: 'My eyesight has become very weak I can't see at all.'
Chinese: 'Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this $100.'
Lawyer (staring at the note): 'But this is $20, not $100!!'
Chinese: 'Congrats, your eyesight is restored. Give me $20'

After the revival had concluded, the three pastors were discussing the results with one another.  The Methodist minister said, "The revival worked out great for us! We gained 4 new families."  The Baptist preacher said, "We did better than that! We gained 6 new families."  The Presbyterian pastor said, "Well, we did even better than that! We got rid of our 10 biggest trouble makers!"
