Awake: 6:20am Temp 34 sleep 6+33 sunny overnight @ Newell campsite.
Kathy treats us to a breakfast of sourdough pancakes with eggs, bacon &
real maple syrup.
One of our plans today was to give each other a haircut. We patiently
waited for the wind to subside so we could do the cutting outdoors. It
didn’t so we didn’t.
I spend some time looking over our travel plan “B.” Southbound of course.
Kathy has a busy free phone day: Talking with Jeri in FL; Ann in AK; Nancy
in AZ; Ruth in WI; Katrina in CO & these were not short calls. That girl
is amazing! I make one call to Zack & leave a message.
Although it was windy, it reminded me to fix 3 of our basement doors which
have cables that tether the door from opening too far on windy days. I
replace the cable with some thin but strong rope.
In between Kathy’s phone calls, she posts some room ideas in her album for
our house plans.
6:30 dinner: Italian beef sandwiches with sweet garlic peppers & au juice.
Another double feature night…..no popcorn: “Only the Lonely” with John
Candy, Maureen O’ Hara, Ally Sheedy, James Belushi, Anthony Quinn, Kevin
Dunn, etc. Chicago cop (Candy) who still lives with his mom (O’Hara),
falls in love & has to overcome both his mother’s resistance & his
feelings of guilt over leaving her. 1991.
A decent & good family movie.
2nd feature: “Grave of the Fireflies.” Those who doubt that animation can
successfully tell serious, meaningful stories should watch this wonderful
animated feature. Young Seita & his little sister, homeless & orphaned
during the final days of WWII, try desperately to survive in a time when
food & aid are scarce. This story will break your heart, but still
suitable for most audiences. 1998.
