Awake: 5:40am Temp 46 sleep 5+31 mostly sunny overnight @
Nicktown.
We drive to the community center, attend 8:00 am Mass & then join the
Koffee Klub gang for 1.1 hrs. Kathy brings (2) kinds of healthier cookies
(4 dozen in all) for the gang as a going away gift. The Klub members were
elated. It’s a “say our goodbyes for now” morning. Besides Kathy & me
leaving tomorrow, Theresa D. is also leaving tomorrow & heading for the
Northeast. We will miss these people, our interesting discussions &
entertaining times we have @ these daily meetings.
After our breakfast, we drive 10 miles & pickup the “T” handle tool from
Steve’s parents’ home that I need to finish winterizing our # 2 well.
When we return to our bus, I help our neighbor Chuck unload another pickup
load of firewood while Kathy irons clothes. Next I use the “T” handle
tool, lift the water pump up from # 2 well & let it drain so now this well
is also winterized. Steve told me to just leave the “T” handle stored in
the pump house & he will pick it up later.
Then, with Kathy driving the Suzuki & me driving the Lexus, we both go to
Sheetz in Spangler & top off our respective fuel tanks. En route back to
Nicktown, while Kathy visits the post office to have our mail stopped, I
return the Lexus to heated storage, disconnect the battery leads & cover
the Lexus.
Next, we drive the Suzuki to the Foote home, spend an hr or so playing
with Matthew & Andrew + take a few pictures of the boys & Kevin’s progress
on the upstairs bathroom & the 97 % finished air-conditioning system. @
5:30pm, we say our goodbyes for now (Kevin is home from work & both boys
have a swimming lesson). When we return to our bus, I hook up the Suzuki
tow car to the motor home while Kathy prepares dinner.
8:00pm dinner: Leftover creamy chicken, Rotini & meatballs + mixed salad.
After dinner, I call my brother Don & leave a message. Then call my sister
Corinne & leave a message. Then call my sister Mary Jo in Lodi, CA & we
talk for about 50 min.
Today’s high=? Lights out: 11:14pm
