Awake: 5:05am Temp 62 sleep 5+38 sunny, then heavy rain mid
evening overnight @ Denver, CO.
Kathy & Katrina talk via cell phone around 9:00am about: “what to see & do
today.” En route to visit Katrina, we stop @ the nearby McDonald’s to
return her rented DVD, “Annapolis” @ the 24 hr DVD return station. The
McDonald’s chain in Denver has this business of renting DVD’s for $1.00
for 24 hrs; a simple & fast service for movie watchers….like their food
chain.
Katrina takes us on a (2 hr) walk thru Washington Park (2 blocks from her
rental place). We walked this same park with her last September 17th & it
was just as enjoyable now as it was then. Many people take advantage of
this park: we see bikers, roller bladers, runners, joggers, dog handlers,
group & family picnickers (esp. on this 4th of July) etc.
Back @ Katrina’s rental, I am keenly aware of the heat building up inside
the kitchen with no cooking or baking in progress. Katrina doesn’t know if
the ceiling fan works or not so I take it upon myself to switch it on. The
light works so I pull the chain for the fan & down falls the somewhat
antique glass light bulb shade…..smashing to smithereens on the tile floor
below. I felt bad….but hey, the ceiling fan works now. Around to the side
was a small speed control knob that needed to be rotated. Dah! I’ll be
buying a replacement shade soon!After that, Katrina shares her fresh fruit
with us: blueberries, raspberries & Bing cherries.
Next, a shopping we will go…to the “Whole Food” store (10) min away. This
store carries a lot of organic products which we find difficult to find in
other places. Katrina selects a slice of Greek pizza which we share
outside while being entertained with dark clouds billowing up &
approaching the area from the southwest. The (3) of us are back to our bus
@ 3:45.
Just as we exit the Suzuki, Marge calls: here in Denver, her son Rob’s
mother-In-Law, Shelly, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon in a
semi-conscious condition. Now Marge & Tom are baby sitting Rob & his wife
Kelly’s (2) children. So far the doctors are not sure what’s wrong with
Shelly. Our 4th of July party with Marge & Tom has now been put on hold.
We invite Katrina to have a shower in our bus & then stay for a splendid
7:45pm dinner by Kathy: pork tenderloin, brown & wild rice, broccoli &
cauliflower in a cheese sauce, Waldorf fruit salad & bread. I do the
dishes while Katrina & Kathy search for cheap air fares for Katrina’s trip
to Italy with a stopover in England to visit her friend Star later this
summer. Heavy rain with some flooding has been reported in the Denver
area. We take Katrina back to her rental place around 10:30pm &,
fortunately, only minor flooding could be seen along our route.
Today’s high=83 lights out: 11:04pm
