Awake: 5:22am Temp 57 sleep 6+25 cloudy, then clearing
overnight @ Nicktown
Kathy calls Melissa @ 7:00am….making sure plan “A” is still on for today.
We drive separate cars to attend 8:00 am Mass. Afterwards, Kathy visits
the Foote house to join Melissa & the young boys on a somewhat new
adventure: thrift store shopping @ the Salvation Army in Latrobe (1 hr
drive). Before Kathy left the motorhome, she gathered up (2) small
Wal-Mart bags of clothing she no longer wanted & will donate them to the
thrift store. I took note of the small size of these bags & casually
mentioned that I will be watching as to how BIG of a bag she returns with.
Meanwhile, I attend the 8:35am Koffee Klub meeting. We had a distinguished
guest present on a 1 day visit from Michigan--- (Al’s younger brother,
Leroy). Our meeting lasted 1.2 hrs. Later @ the bus, I was eating one of
Kathy’s healthy muffins when Leroy payed a visit. We chat for a good 1.5
hrs….mostly about what Leroy has been doing during his working yrs.
Interesting fellow with many talents. His latest enthusiasm however, is in
Gyrocopter flying machines. Something I am not interested in but we
covered that field more than I ever have.
@ 11:40am, I said goodbye to Leroy, drove around the block & picked up Al
& Donna, then head for Barnesboro where I pick up Anne; it’s Rotary
meeting time @ the Cambria Hills Golf Club. This time we are on time &
lunch was great. Our cook is back on the job & her husband is home from
the hospital. We all sign a “get well soon” card. It was a good meeting.
On the return trip, drop Anne off; a stop @ the beer distributor in
Spangler for Al, then back to Nicktown.
A message on our phone recorder from my sister Corinne: my Aunt Aggie is
in the hospital again. That’s not good!
Call my brother Don…I notify him that I cannot repair their wine cooler.
No schematic, phone number, name….nothing. I have his permission to give
it to Barry or junk it.
Kathy is back from her Latrobe trip @ 5:30. Besides a few bags of
groceries, she brings in a BIG black trash bag with a big smile on her
face saying: “it was a great day!” “Aha, I knew it” say I. “Take (2) small
bags of clothing to discard, return with (1) huge bag of clothing.” She
seemed excited to show me what she bought. She had it sitting on the
dinette table; then opened it & dumped the contents right there in front
of me. Hisssss went that bag. It was full of air! She tricked the
trickster. She bought nothing. My kind of woman!
7:45 dinner: Goulash with tomatoes, brought from the Rotary meeting. No
movie tonight; we read instead.
Today’s high=68 Lights out: 10:11pm
