Awake: 5:45am Temp 69 Clear Overnight @ Nicktown, PA

Walk to 8:00am mass…afterward we talk outside with Florentz , Rose Marie,
Donna, etc. Then join the coffee club @ the community center for over an
hr.

After breakfast, Bernie calls: he has extra tomatoes & green beans: “come
& get em!” he says.

@ 11:30am we visit Bernie, Ethel, Lou Ann, Doris, & her husband, Don @
their homestead (7 min drive) & sit on the outdoor swing for over an hr &
talk about anything & everything. It was a most enjoyable visit.

Then we meet the Footes @ Carrolltown @ 1:00pm & ride with them to Saint
Augustine (20 min) for a visit with Gary & Rosemary. 1st G & R give us a
$5.00 tour of their newly built home which is 90% finished & is a very
functional, livable & well built structure. I was particularly impressed
with the detailed workmanship as was Matthew, I am sure. He did help clean
up a few missed items from the carpenders work area. After the tour, we
visit with them in their 5th wheel trailer; Rosemary serves us healthy
snacks while Gary keeps our wine glasses from running empty. These people
know how to make a few gypsies stay in one place for awhile to relax & be
comfortable…they just keep the snacks coming & the wine flowing. We sure
did appreciate their friendly hospitality.

Just as we are about to leave, Gary digs up an armload of fresh green
beans & cucumbers from the G & R garden for the Footes to take with them.

The Footes leave us off in Carrolltown & we drive our Suzuki back to our
bus in Nicktown.

Kathy & I walk to & attend the 6:00pm vigil mass @ Nicktown.

8:05 dinner: Kathy’s homemade Crab cakes, Florentz’s sweet corn on the
cob, and zucchini & yellow squash, also from Florentz.

High temp today=84 Lights out: 11:17pm
