These two are not just my great granddaughters, they're the greatest!!


June 21, 2013, Mike and I got up and packed and got on the road to Saratoga.  We got to Ashley's house about 4 o'clock...in time for me to get to see the new little Stella (5 1/2 months old) and collect bunches of hugs from Zoey (5).  What a long time it has been since I last saw Ashley and Chris and Zoey and that was the first visit I've ever had with Stella.  She is a doll of a baby!
 
Ashley and Chris are wonderful hosts.  Supper was terrific and the visiting was great!  In the evening I got to go with them to the final day of Zoey's Vacation Bible School and to see the closing ceremonies.  Those sweet Hiltons gave us their bed at night because Mike still has minor problems using his leg getung down on something low.  Their bed was wonderful, so tall I nearly needed a ladder to get up there myself and perfect for Mike, we had a great night's sleep.  The next day there was more visiting and us using Chris' phone (because ours didn't pick up a signal ) and arranging for Brandie and Debbie and Lucas and Myles to bring Chloe and Trinity to meet us and travel back to Arkansas to visit here for a couple of weeks.  First we went to the Subway at the Valero station because that's the road that goes back to Dayton....but when we called Brandie was far away then Ashley and Chris (with Zoey and Stella) came by us and stopped to tell us they were on the way to go out to eat Mexican food on that same highway, only about a block from Highway 59...so we called Brandie back and we all met at the Mexican Restaurant in Cleveland....and from there it was quick to get onto our road home...and only 6 hours later...back to Bismarck.
