Awake: 5:14am Temp 55 sleep 6+13 late-morning light rain, then
sun, then early-evening heavier rain overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00am Mass, then join the Koffee Klub for 1.2 hrs. After
breakfast, I begin to use Kevin’s electric weed whacker to cut down the
tall grass under the trees on the west side of our circular drive. Just as
I was getting another extension cord to extend my travel distance, it
began to rain….& Melissa + the boys arrive. Perfect timing for a break to
visit with most of the local Foote family I am thinking.
The wave of rain passes quickly & Matthew wanted to watch me do more weed
whacking so outside we go. Matthew keeps his distance & has a reputation
of being fascinated with mechanical things but, not for long; the spool of
nylon cutting cord is empty so for all practical purposes, I am finished.
About this time, Kathy & Melissa want to take the boys to the school
playground. I have more things to do so I stay @ the coach. When they
return, I set Matthew up for shooting those white moths out of the sky
with the almost laser like water spray. I am so proud that I can teach my
grandson some important & worthwhile skills while he is still young. I
can’t wait to get him involved in killing flies with the old fashion fly
swatter. The Footes leave @ 4:30.
K & I attend 6:00pm vigil Mass. It rained fairly hard during our time in
church.
7:45 dinner: BLT’s with fruit salad.
Satellite movie: “Father Goose” with Cary Grant, Leslie Caron, Trevor
Howard, Jack Good, etc. Grant goes native as a shiftless bum on a South
Seas island during WWII, who’s persuaded to become a lookout for the
Australian navy…. & finds himself sheltering Caron & a gaggle of
schoolgirls fleeing the Japanese. 1964. It's a lightweight flick but
enjoyable.
Today’s high=77 Lights out: 11:55pm
