Awake: 5:12am Temp 23 Sunny Overnight @ Nicktown
@ the community center, we exercise for 1.3 hrs & are joined by Pat, Frank
& Al. Then we all attend the 8:00am Mass & after that, we all join the
newsy coffee club members for 45 min.
@ 2:20pm Melissa, Matthew & Andrew arrive at our home-on-wheels. Andrew
napped en route so he was wide awake during their visit.
Matthew had extra energy from the get-go but he wasn’t rowdy; he wasted no
time in finding his Wal-Mart truck that can transport the rest of his
smaller cars & trucks, then loaded/unloaded those vehicles numerous times…
covering the inches on our highway carpet.
Melissa was so overloaded with knowledge from the Internet of an
unmentionable subject, that with infinitesimal breathing, she spewed out
facts & figures so fast it mesmerized Kathy. In fact, so much that they
completely forgot to start the boys’ dirty laundry for about 30 min. After
that amazing & spellbinding experience, the atmosphere returned to more
normal conditions.
Before the Footes arrival, Kathy had whipped up a batch of oatmeal peanut
butter chocolate chip cookies each with a mint candy on top…..various
kinds of cookies have been a grandma treat for Matthew on many occasions.
Well this time, these cookies for whatever reason were very crumbly &
those mints were especially tasty to Matthew, so he would pick off the
mint, making crumbs and & ignoring the rest of the cookie. Later, I was
scolded for making too much of a fuss about those crummy crumbs falling
onto the highway carpet & dinette cushions….but hey, I’m the vacuum man &
I strive for cleanliness?!
Shortly after the next cookie crumbled, Kathy invited Matthew outdoors for
some real fresh air & physical exercise…..then it was my turn for fresh
air & exercise with Matthew. We had fun & when the laundry finished up, it
was time for the Footes to return to Indiana. It was another fine visit
for “G” Daddy & Grandma.
6:15 dinner: Meat ball stroganoff, whole wheat noodles, spinach salad &
toast.
Late evening: watch movie from Satellite: “Coming Home” with Jane Fonda,
Jon Voight & Bruce Dern. It was a little difficult to watch…..the Vietnam
War & the effect it had on 3 people in particular.
High temp: 39 Lights out: 10:37pm
