Awake 5:51 am Temp 40 Clear sky Overnight in Nicktown
We are hanging around our phone this morning until 9:30 am. If no further
messages from Gary, then we'll drive to Indiana & meet them @ the airport.
Gary calls @ 9:00 am. He reports Indiana airport fogged in. This is
surprising to me. I recommend he check the Ebensburg airport. About 2 hrs
later, Gary calls: "the Eagle has landed!" 15 min later we pick them up &
bring them to our property in Nicktown. We spend maybe 45 min walking
around our 7 acres ...pointing out our well, septic system, the creek,
when we build where the house & motorhome garage & driveway will be
located, etc. Gary has some good ideas about building...he's done quite a
bit of it.
Kathy prepares a super good Dinner @ 3:30 pm. Italian Sausage, spaghetti
with extra meat sauce, fresh salad & toast. We've known Gary & Grace for
nearly 2 yrs & try to rendezvous when we can. We cover a lot of territory
with our 5 hrs of talk time.
5:15 pm we take G & G back to the airport where their 1986 Cessna 177
Cardinal is waiting. We thank them for their short visit & they're off.
Gary estimates the time to Landenberg, PA 1 hr 30 min.
On our return trip to Nicktown, we stop in & visit my Aunt Clarissa who is
96 yrs young. She is doing well for her age. She admits her legs are
complaining more all the time, but she sure is sharp & lively otherwise.
Back to our home on wheels, we find Gary's phone message. Smooth trip,
daylight all the way & 1 hr 30 min of flight time. A nice way & day to
fly.
Lights out: 11:06
