I was able to go to Hillsdale String Festival and play violin with a whole bunch of other middle and high school kids. It was a blast and I had soo much fun!!
We went down to Elijah and Megan's to help them move. They bought a beautiful house, but it needs a little fixin' up! (These are lacking pictures.)
Tearing wallpaper and painting: we (our church, http://cbchillsdale.org/) bought a new building to meet in, so we completely redid the inside. And some of the outside too. The inside had bright red carpet, with shiny "foil" wallpaper. So the rooms almost "glowed" pink. :) But it is all redone now, due to LOTS of paint and McDonald's tea. (unsweet, of course. And fries and doughnuts and pizza and strawberry lemonade and cookies and chocolate and ............) ;)
We went to the MISpeedway to watch the race cars practice. Everyone loved it! even though it was a little loud.
I could sometime's get ok shots of the race cars. but sometime i'd get one like the one below.
(nothing!) :)
The fastest car went 203 mph.
And when we were closer, it was even harder to get a picture!
Michigan has beautiful sunsets!
And WATERMELON!!!!! Yummy!!
I'll have some more pictures later. We just got back from Covington, KY. visiting Megan and Elijah in their new house! we watched labor day fireworks, and went on a walk and played euchre. all of which was a lot of fun! Now we have started school, and I am keeing busy! Violin lessons, orchestra, and piano lessons are my favorites! :)
