Awake: 4:20am Temp 32 Mostly cloudy Overnight @ Nicktown, PA.

Kathy makes the sourdough batter this morning to take to the Foote
household & make sourdough pancakes for the gang. We drive to Indiana &
drop Kathy off @ the Foote home. I pick up Katrina, her Christmas
presents, & luggage & we leave for the Pittsburgh airport @ 5:45am. Her
flight is scheduled to @ 8:50am. We arrive @ the terminal @ 7:10. We say
our goodbyes & bon voyage then I begin returning to Indiana. About 30 min
on the road, I notice my cell phone light blinking……it’s Katrina. She
reports her flight had been cancelled due to a snow storm in Chicago & she
will be flying to Orlando on US Airways, then United to Denver, arriving 6
hrs later than scheduled. Dang! Had we known that earlier, the early
morning drive could have been avoided.

I call Kathy @ the Foote house….she is riding with Kevin & the boys +
Eriko to the Trail-Ways bus stop & would like me to pick her up from there
en route. I arrive @ 9:30, just in time for more hugs & goodbyes for the
gang before they board the bus @ 9:35 for the Pittsburgh airport. It was
really special that everyone had the opportunity to visit & see little
Andrew before they left for their respective hangouts in Denver & Seattle.

Back @ the Foote house, Kathy serves some sourdough pancakes with bacon
that she saved for my breakfast. When Kevin returns from church with
Matthew around 11:00am, we get to baby-sit for over 3 hrs while Kevin goes
to the regional hospital to visit with Melissa & Andrew….then sign papers
for her release later today.

Baby-sitting Matthew was great: we took turns playing with him & his toys,
etc. When Kevin returned @ 2:40pm, he took Matthew back to the hospital to
pick up Melissa & Andrew, and bring them back to their home….family style.
K & I elect to return to our bus in Nicktown & let the Footes enjoy being
together again as just “their new family.”
