Awake: 5:46am Temp 35 Sunny Overnight @ Nicktown
We skip the exercise this morning, pour warm water on our frozen
windshield, then drive to our church & attend 8:00 am Mass. Afterward, we
meet with the male dominated coffee club for 45 min, then back to our bus
for breakfast.
@ 1:35pm we visit with Rosemarie & Herm who live about a mile down the
road. I’ve know these people all my life. They used to hang out with my
parents so we visited each other while growing up on our farm.
R & H have 9 children, 42 grandchildren & 18 great grandchildren. They
have been BIG dairy farmers all these yrs until their son Ralph took over
the farm, modernized & expanded the business & now, it’s going stronger
than ever. We spend over 3 hrs talking, reminiscing about the good ole
days, some cruise & travel stories, family & kid talk, etc.
August 30th of 2004, Herm & Rosemarie visited us in our motorhome here in
Nicktown. Now I am glad that we had them up for a visit because Herm is
not getting around so well these days. It felt really good to be spending
some time with them again in their home.
7:05 dinner: Peanut-y pork fingers & parmesan pork fingers, apple
coleslaw, leftover potatoes & rice.
8:30 talk with Melissa & get the daily report: Scheduled naps for the boys
are not going well. Eric the electrician & his apprentice are drilling
holes, running new wires & making a lot of noise throughout the house.
It’s been difficult for Melissa to have the boys adjust to noise @ nap
time.
Today’s high: 49 Lights out: 11:00pm
