Awake: 6:20am Temp 52 Clear Overnight @ Nicktown, PA
K & I walk to the community center @ 8:30 & join the articulated coffee
gang for a fast hr meeting…..then attend the 9:30am children’s Mass. Then
back to the bus for a quick breakfast.
Next I drive the Lexus to Barnesboro & have Al’s Tire Service fix a slow
leak on the left front tire. It was a nail & they fixed it the old
fashioned way by applying a hot patch inside the tire.
Next I pay my 1st cousins a visit @ their family homestead…..these 3 guys
are building a storage shed close to the house. Its lunch time & they are
hungry so I volunteer to take food orders in lieu of helping them on their
project. Louie would like a cheese steak subway sandwich, Cyril orders a
meatball subway, Tony chooses a ham subway & I select a small cod fish
sandwich. 30 min later, I deliver the goods & we sit down inside at the
homestead table, eat, & have a good ole fashioned mini reunion.
Next I visit my cousin, Bernie, who was busy cutting out slats to make
another outdoor swing. He takes a break for my visit & we sit on his 15 yr
old outdoor covered swing & chat for 20 min.
Meanwhile, Kathy was busy in the kitchen again. Today she made yellow
squash muffins. However, she used way too much squash which caused the
muffins to rise and quickly fall, leaving the middles uncooked. After more
baking time, she was convinced she had made squash “hockey pucks.” But,
darn, they tasted good! She kept her 2:30 doctor’s app’t in Ebensburg and
followed that with a brief thrift store stop and some grocery shopping at
WalMart.
I call & talk with Steve, one of the plumbing & electrical brothers who
has been working on hooking up our new well….he reports that the filters
for our well are due in on Friday….he doesn’t know if they will arrive
morning or afternoon.
Call Rosemary C. in St. Augustine. I humbly request a change in the date
that we plan to bring dinner to their place from Friday to Thursday.
Luckily, she says: “it’s OK” & it’ll work out better for them.
Kathy returns from her doctor’s visit & shopping in Ebensburg @ 6:10 pm.
9:00pm dinner: BLT’s using neighbor, Malachi’s, fresh beef steak tomatoes
accompanied by Florentz’s delicious ears of corn.
High temp today=78 Lights out: 11:03pm
