Awake 4:54 am Temp Downtown=57 Sunny 18 hrs 36 min of daylight
Already it looks like today will be another scorcher...high 70's, low 80's
That's hot for us alaskans.
Kathy has an 11:30 hair cutting appointment with Robin plus other errands
to do....then @ 4:45 to meet Katrina @ Alex's place who is letting her
park her car in a bay of his garage for ( 5 ) months...then Kathy will
bring Katrina here for dinner, and later we'll take her to the airport for
her 12:55 am departure to Seattle, New York and Paris.
I leave shortly behind Kathy...driving John's truck over to his
woodworking shop to finally build our large flower box...to be mounted on
our front porch.
John was not home but the shop is open. It takes me awhile to get things
layed out & learn his equipment...so 5.5 hrs later, my pieces are all cut
out. I've used my own one inch oak brought up from Memphis in 1991. This
box will be heavy. John arrives @ 3:30 just after I've finished cutting.
The remainder of my oak supply I am donating to John's cache above the
rafters of his woodworking shop. He's getting some fine lumber...kilm
dried, surfaced two sides, one inch thick. We work together getting those
boards up to the rafters. Now I am feeling the heat of the day.
Melissa, Kevin & Matthew arrive at John's place for my ride back home @
4:30. But John insists that I use his truck & haul that BIG BOX back
tonight & return his truck tomorrow. Sounds good to me so I thank the
Foote's & load up the truck.
As I pull into our driveway, Kathy & Katrina are just parking & the
Foote's were right behind me. Good timing.
We gather tonight to have a special dinner & to wish Katrina a Bon Voyage
for her 5 month sojourn to Europe. The last 3 months of that 5 will be
attending classes @ the Lorenzo De Medici Art college where she will be
completing her minor in art.
7:15 Dinner: Pork Roast with fried apples, broccoli, red potatoes, toast &
fresh salad....fresh strawberries with reddi wip cream for desert.
Matthew was hand feeding himself with a slice of banana bread and doing a
fine job of that.
After the Foote's leave, Katrina finishes up her packing, showers & we
head down the road to Barnes & Noble for a quick rendezvous with her
roommate Starr....then on to the airport. She's leaving from the new " C "
concourse terminal tonight. We say our goodbyes, wish her to be safe,
have fun & enjoy her studies. We are back home @ 12:25 am.
Lights out: 1:50 am.
