Awake 5:46 am Temp 41 Clear sky Overnight in Nicktown
We walk to 8:00 am mass & join the coffee clan afterward.
Then Kathy literally spends hours on line trying to find a reasonably
priced air fare for us to attend Zack's graduation this Dec. 19th. In
between she does(3)laundry loads.
I drive over to Krumenacker's Hardware store here in town & purchase one
PVC 3" elbow & 2 drain clean out plugs for our In ground septic system.
Then visit Carol @ her business & ask if it's possible to drive both cars
we have in storage...she indicates, tomorrow will work.
Drive to (North-Northern Cambria)Barnesboro(10 min) to Al's tire shop &
arrange for(4)new tires for the Suzuki, our tow car. The tires have some
tread left but better to be safe since we'll be heading Southwest in a few
days. Mileage on our tow car 41,000. I think towing wears more on tires
than normal driving, especially the front ones.
Call my cousin Sue in Ebensburg...ask if this afternoon would work for a
visit..."yes, come on up" she says. En route to Sue's place we stop at
Delores's house just for a quick stop & question: Does she have our tax
address for our Nicktown property as Nicktown or Alaska? She's pretty sure
she's changed it to Alaska & looks it up in her BIG book to verify. I was
just curious.
On to Ebensburg where we make another quick stop @ Wal-Mart to pick up
developed pictures taken in Switzerland...then to visit my cousin Sue &
her sister Virginia. We talk for over an hr while sipping a highball &
snacking on popcorn & corn chips.
By the time we return to our home on wheels, we're not that hungry so our
dinner is simply more snacks...fried Parmesan cheese with sun dried
tomatoes, a variety of other cheeses, and mixed nuts...while we watch some
TV.
We do call Jeri & Gene close to midnight, our house sitters in Anchorage.
All is well & they have been enjoying staying in our home.
Lights out: 12:35
