Awake: 4:47am Temp 41 Rain—heavy @ times Overnight @ Nicktown
We attend 8:00 am Mass with Father Tom. Kathy says the music & singing was
a tad bit better this morning. We also had our throats blessed after Mass.
Back in the bus, Kathy makes a blueberry French toast dish with bacon for
breakfast. It was different & it's a keeper.
This is a good day for making phone calls or so we thought. We call our
Aunt Aggie in Ohio; she’s hanging in there @ 87 yrs. Her mind is strong &
she’s kept her sense of humor. Next call: our Aunt Bertha. She has macular
degeneration & sees poorly; has arthritis & cannot dress herself & wears 2
hearing aids. But @ 92 yrs, she eats well, talks well & her mind is great.
Today however, she is highly distressed as her husband of some 60 yrs, my
Uncle Johnny, has been having difficulty breathing this past week & she
thinks he is not going to make it much longer. Unfortunately we’ve been
expecting this report. All of their family is with him today in Ohio. I
have only these 2 aunts & Uncle John left.
Then we change directions: call Kathy’s Aunt Robin & Uncle Harvey in
Florida. Uncle Harvey is just recently out of the hospital & recuperating.
Aunt Robin is doing ok.
Now we make calls to a younger crowd: Kathy calls her friend Carol in
Texas; then we call our pals from Landenberg, PA who currently are sunning
themselves with their motorhome in Florida & they are fine.
7:05 dinner: Pecan crusted pork, baked potato, pineapple coleslaw, toast.
Late evening: continue watching the movie: “Made for Each Other” with
Jimmy Stewart & Carole Lombard. 1939 A good story.
High today: 46 Lights out: 10:07pm
