Awake: 5:48am Temp 44 Light rain…..then snow Overnight @ Nicktown
Sometime during the night, heavy & aggressive rain pounds our roof waking
us up. By morning time though, the rain was light.
We leave @ 9:20 for Indiana & a visit with the Footes. Its 44 degrees &
snowing in Nicktown as we leave…..Indiana is some 800 ft lower in
elevation & having light rain. Grandson Matthew is always happy to see us.
I spend a few min playing with him….then go on tour with Kevin & witness
the gung-ho bathroom destruction (leading to renovation) that he has been
doing. Melissa is slowly getting back into the swing of things, feeling
stronger though tired...caring for 2 young boys plus other household
chores.
Eric the electrician & his apprentice have now finished upgrading the 1st
floor wiring, outlets & the 3 & 4 way switches. The Footes are very happy
with Eric’s work. We spend 2 hrs with Melissa & the boys, then while they
take their scheduled nap, Kathy & I go grocery shopping for both the
Footes & us.
Returning @ 2:00pm, I spend extra time looking over Kevin’s work & the
latest challenge of ridding the old cast-iron sewer & vent pipe to replace
it with a newer version.
Melissa serves us a smoothie & fresh popcorn snack before we leave to
return to our bus @ 4:45pm. Hard to believe, just yesterday we were
cutting each other’s hair outside in 62 degree weather & now the yard has
3 inches of snow covering with gusty winds & a temp of 25 degrees. Brrrr!
7:05 dinner: Leftover Peanut-y pork fingers & Parmesan pork, rice & broccoli.
High temp today: 44 Lights out: 10:52pm
