Awake: 5:36am Temp 41 Cloudy….rain & wind Overnight @ Nicktown
Drive to the community center for an hr of exercise…..then join the
sparsely attended coffee club group for 35 min of good chatter…..then
return to the bus for breakfast….change clothes & attend the funeral Mass
for Viola with other family members & friends. I thought Father Job gave a
very good homily for the occasion: telling us parishioners that Viola is
happy now….she is in no pain; she won’t miss us. We are the one’s that are
sad & we will miss her, etc.
Because of the cold temps & blustery winds outside, the burial ceremony
prayers were said @ the back of the church. Then, everyone was invited to
the church hall for a luncheon meal sponsored by the Altar & Rosary
Society & what a luncheon it was: a wonderful selection of delicious
dishes plus a vast array of different desserts. We sat with our cousins
Bernie, Ethel & Rita. I wanted to visit with a number of other people in
the hall but the 1.5 hrs went by quickly. We were back to our bus by
2:00pm.
It’s a good day to stay indoors: the temp dropped to 29 degrees with winds
from 30 to 50 mph with gusts….even our bus occasionally shows some
movement.
After that terrific lunch, we skip the traditional dinner meal & simply
have some popcorn while watching a video movie from the Foote collection:
“Monkey Business” staring Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Charles Coburn &
Marilyn Monroe. We were glad that Marilyn had such a small role….otherwise
the movie wouldn’t have had the appeal that it did!
High temp: 41 Lights out: 10:58pm
