Awake: 5:30am Temp 58 Sunny Overnight @ Beltsville,
Maryland.
After waking up early, I lie in bed for awhile & am very quiet in my
attempt to live up to my reputation of being: “the quiet one.” Later I get
dressed & go into the den & wait for Kathy. When we hear activity upstairs
around 8:00am, we ascend to the kitchen where Cy asks us if we would be
interested in a cheese omelet with bacon? “You bet” we both answer. It was
delicious….Cy usually cooks a hot breakfast 3 or 4 times a week.
Around 10:00 am we load our travel bags into the Suzuki, say our “thank
you’s” & “goodbyes” for now to Jan & Tricia, then follow our leader Cy
down the highway to Saint Luke’s in Silver Springs, MD. Cy volunteered to
show us the quick route to simplify our travel time (10 min). Then we
thank Cy for his hospitality & taxi service, etc with hopes to see him in
Nicktown next month.
As we approach the front door to Saint Lukes, we can easily see my sister
talking with other people behind the glass door. She is happy to see us &
introduces us to the group…then asks about our trip & visit with the Cy
family. The Commissioning ceremony program went well (about 40 min), &
then we lunched.
We leave St. Lukes, drive down New Hampshire Street, top off the Suzuki’s
fuel tank & start driving back to Nicktown @ 1:05pm. Fast moving traffic,
strong headwinds & no rest stops allowed us to be back to our bus in the
same amount of time it took for us to drive there (4.0 hrs). Surprise!
Winter has returned to this area: Its 33 degrees with snow flurries.
6:30 dinner: Ham & cheese melt…..then popcorn while watching a movie from
the satellite system: “Wag the Dog” with Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro,
Anne Heche, Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson, etc. A great flick! Just hope
our government doesn’t work this way?
High temp? Lights out: 10:44pm
