Awake 7:06 am Temp 67 Sunny Overnight on our Nicktown, Pa property
After my morning coffee, I walk some of our 7 acres of land. I check the
stream of water flowing from our natural spring, then open the door of our
pump house which houses our well head...reconnect the filters, turn the
circuit breakers on from the main electrical box & run water for 10 min
directly from the well & by-passing the filters. Water looks clear. Then
hook up our portable filter system to the motorhome so now we will have
our own well water available again.
Kathy makes a sourdough pancake breakfast with bacon.
Shortly after breakfast, my 1st cousin Florentz & his nephew Bill from
Tennessee arrive for a visit...bringing some fresh homegrown tomatoes.
Kathy serves both of them some Australian wine. We talk for 40 min.
Kathy & I drive to Johnstown(25 min)..visit Home Depot & Lowe's. On our
return, we visit my Aunt Clarissa & one of her daughters, Andria. My Aunt
C. is now 96 and she is amazing. She is so interesting to talk with. We
discuss some local people that I didn't know so well before I left the
farm to attend college. ...then I ask her how she met & married one of my
Dad's brothers, Louie. Sooo interesting! When Andria found out we were
visiting, she went & bought some chicken, cold slaw & potato salad so we
could stay & have dinner with them...now nice.
Later that evening, we call Zack in Lafayette. He is doing fine. Then we
call Nick in Seattle. He has returned from his 4th trip to Japan....and
the July 17th, 2005 wedding plans in Nagoya are going full speed ahead.
Lights out: 11:58 pm
