Awake: 5:25am Temp 59 Clear Overnight @ Nicktown, PA
K & I walk to the community center……then exercise for an hr. After
changing to different clothes that we brought with us, we join the worldly
coffee members for more than an hr. Afterward, a quick stop @ the post
office, then back to the camper for dinner…..no, just kidding about the
dinner……it was a late breakfast.
Kathy gathers up dirty laundry & makes a trip to the Laundromat in North
Spangler. Kathy reports that, while at the Laundromat, she watched the gas
price at a station across the street go from $2.99 to $3.19 in the course
of 20 min.
I add the 19 gallon of water we delayed pouring into our fresh water tank
on Monday due to heavy rains moving into our area from hurricane Katrina.
Kathy returns with clean-folded clothes & a few shirts & pants to iron.
Then she readies herself for a trip to Ebensburg to start the process for
her initial physical with a new doctor. If he passes muster, he may be our
regular physician.
Meanwhile, James drives up to scrutinize the area where the ditch is to be
dug for the water & electrical line for our new well…..then maybe an hr
later, he’s back with the backhoe & leaves it in place for tomorrow.
My cousin Florentz visits to dowse the well casing…..checking the quality
of our water.
@ 4:50pm Kathy returns from her doctor’s visit.
5:45 dinner: BLT’s using tomatoes from Florentz.
K & I walk to 7:00pm mass….which was longer than our usual. 1st we had
Mass, then Vespers (evening prayer) including additional hymns & then
Benediction (a ritual blessing using a special vessel containing the
Eucharist). Afterward, I talk with Irvin & Jean while Kathy talks with
Donna about her husband, George.
Some late evening reading for both of us.
High today: 73 Lights out: 11:22pm
