Awake: 6:20am Temp 32 Cloudy + light snow showers Overnight @
Nicktown, PA.
Drive to our local church for 8:00am Mass……then join the distinct coffee
club meeting afterward.
After breakfast, we drive to Indiana & do some light shopping @ Wal-Mart
before arriving @ the Footes @ 2:30pm. Upon entering the house, we see
Kevin & Nick working on a tear down project of (2) bathrooms that used to
be one…..that Kevin will be returning back to one. A lot of work remains
but there was some progress today.
Katrina & Zack are @ the Mall seeing a movie. Melissa & Matthew were
downstairs waiting for our arrival. I take time to play with Matthew & his
toys which lasted about 20 min & then Kevin wanted my opinion on water
pipes upstairs & down in the basement.
We invited Matthew to join us because he is so energetic about anything to
do with mechanical stuff, but it was to our disadvantage because of the
need for keeping a sharp eye on this young man in foreign territory.
A little later, Kevin tries his newly found skill with soldering a nicked
water pipe upstairs……which was leaking. Soldering a copper pipe that is
holding water is somewhat of a losing battle he found out.
I brought my dell computer along today so Nick could set up the RSS program.
5:30 dinner: Sloppy Joes with toasted buns & Kathy’s coleslaw. After
dinner, Kathy & I ask questions to each of our kids & their respective
spouses about their future goals, higher education, flexibility in
relocating, buying a home or condo choice & for the single kids, what are
you looking for in a prospective spouse? It was an interesting &
worthwhile discussion that lasted for nearly an hr…….then our kids
reversed the trend & began to ask us parents some questions!
Back to our bus @ 9:00pm Lights out: 10:16pm
