Awake: 5:53am Temp 59 Light rain early morn—then sunny overnight @
Nicktown, PA
K & I walk to 8:00am mass…..then join the famished coffee club bunch for
an hr of action packed dialog. Kathy brought some green tomato bars which
everyone seemed to like. In honor of Donna’s birthday, Janet brought her
homemade cinnamon rolls. We check the post office for mail before
returning to the bus @ 9:50am.
Joan calls: She has apples & pears on her trees….come & get them. Kathy
drives over, gets the ladder from the garage & picks a “bakers” dozen of
pears & half a dozen of apples. Joan also left some yellow tomatoes and a
zucchini for us. Kathy is back within ½ hour with the goods.
I begin getting our coach ready for travel: sweep dust & other particles
of stuff off the slide tops & fill our fresh water tank with water from
our well.
Meanwhile Kathy has been doing laundry, ironing clothes in the bedroom, &
making the bed with freshly laundered sheets. After she’s done, I retract
all 4 slides so there will be less for us to do tomorrow.
@ 3:55pm we leave for Indiana in the Suzuki….stopping 1st @ Staples for
Kathy (have copies made of a recipe) & Wal-Mart for me to get Kathy’s
watch battery replaced & to purchase a Sony memory stick for our digital
camera. Then we rendezvous with the Footes & caravan to the Train Station
Restaurant for dinner. Matthew is not feeling his best today….cutting
teeth & has a runny nose but he’s still a delightful guy to be with. We
each take turns walking him around the restaurant. Kathy & I each have a
beer & share a tuna steak meal.
After dinner, we follow the Footes across town to Brusters Ice Cream store
where the Footes treat us each to a delicious ice cream cone for
Grandparents’ day. We sit outside in the small park behind the store &
make yummy sounds. Then give our hugs & goodbyes for now. Back to our bus
@ 8:45pm.
High temp today=79 Lights out: 10:32
