Awake: 6:43am Temp 65 Early morning rain Overnight @ Nicktown, PA
During the night (3:00am) heavy rain wakes us up. Our roof is a lot closer
to us than most peoples’ roofs are to them so we hear those rain drops. I
have difficulty getting back to sleep….sometime after 4:00am I think.
We walk to 8:00am mass….it was nice that the rain had stopped. Afterward,
we join the coffee gang for over an hr….then Kathy & I exercise in the
community center workout room for 35 min. That felt good for both of us.
After breakfast, Kathy makes a few calls to find a good local doctor that
we will be comfortable with during our visiting time in Nicktown and for
the future. If we are pleased, we will have our records transferred from
Alaska.
Florentz stops by to see if the tall grass has been cut in the lower
field….not yet, but he will stop in later this afternoon to begin dowsing
for another well for us.
Meanwhile, Kathy gathers up our dirty laundry & takes it to the nearby
town (2 miles) to Rouse’s Laundromat & she has the Suzuki washed also…but
not at the Laundromat! She returns @ 3:50pm.
Florentz & I spend about 2.0 hrs dowsing on our property hoping to find a
more reliable location for a well. We both have a nice set of dowsing rods
but my cousin Florentz is the senior expert in the area. We find a few
spots but will definitely check the area again several times. Before my
cousin leaves, I make a call to a well drilling company in Ebensburg & ask
to be listed as there is a backlog for well drilling.
@ 4:40pm Kathy & I leave to meet Florentz & Anna @ their house, then ride
with them to the town of Clymer (20 min) for dinner @ the Stony Bank
restaurant….the same place Kathy had lunch with the ladies on Monday. This
restaurant is owned & operated by Florentz & Anna’s son-in-law, Ron &
their daughter Jolene. As we sit down @ our table @ 6:00pm, I notice that
in this section, nearly every table is full of customers. The smoking
section was not as full but the bar/lounge area was very busy. Since the
opening of this restaurant about one month ago, they have built up a
steady cliental Besides Ron, they have 2 other cooks & usually 4/5
waitresses working. Kathy & I share crab cakes with a baked potato, some
veggies & a salad. All very good! I was curious to see, taste & experience
the Stony Bank restaurant & I was most impressed & satisfied.
En route back to F & A’s, we stop & visit with their son Victor, his wife
Chris & their son Andrew. I haven’t been to Victor’s home since 1988 and
it was interesting to see the improvements he has made. All together, it
was a fun evening.
