Today I drove to Cedarville to pick up a prescription and do some shopping. Then decided to drive to St. Ignace to see if the scrapbook shop was still in business. It is, and I bought a few things---like Rt. 66 paper that I haven't seen before.

John stayed home. In the evening he went on a short bike ride, between rain clouds.

Dave and Renee Clark, who are camping at the KOA in Petoskey, Michigan, drove up for a visit.

They took us out to lunch, then we took them on a tour of the island. We came back for their two

Border Collies and took them over to the sand beach to play in the water. Great to see friends from home.

The rest of the family left today. John and I went to a garage sale at a local church. I found an unmarked McCoy pot for $8.00.

Something is now wrong with the dryer. It had a real workout this week, and now it is not drying

anything. This week is not ending well.

Time is flying this week. Jen, D.J. and Nicole are headed back to Ohio tomorrow morning. It seems like they just arrived. Mark and Stacy will head back to Connecticut with Chase and Chloe,

the two collies, on Saturday. Lin and Scott will leave sometime this weekend.

Tonight there were 10 of us for tacos. Heather Beal joined us. When the gang returns from the evening walk, we will play some kind of game.

Having fun no matter what we do.

Today was sunny and hot, 86 degrees. I went in early to cut pies for the luncheon, then helped

Pat at the book sale. Everyone else went to the parade. In the afternoon we all went to Herbie and Harry Ropp's for a picnic potluck. The fireworks in the evening at the hanger were great as usual.
