Awake: 7:23am Temp 33 sleep 7+19 sunny overnight @ Indiana, PA.
This morning on TV, we watch: “Farewell to a President.” Gerald Ford. The
coverage of the funeral was most mesmerizing.
@ 10:35am Gary & Rosemary visit us @ our Motel. They had spent a few days
in Ohio visiting Rosemary’s brother & her nephews. After our visit, they
will be visiting Rosemary’s sister right here in Indiana. We have no
problem yakking with G & R; the time goes quickly & they move on to seeing
Rosemary’s sister.
Mid afternoon, we pay a visit to the Foote mansion where I introduce young
man Matthew to the science of Magnetism. The kit I used was found @
Hobbytown USA in Pittsburgh when we stayed there overnight Sunday 17th
Dec., & went shopping on Monday. With Matthew’s strong interest in the
Brio train setup, bringing this out any sooner would not have held his
interest. But today, my timing seemed good as just him & I had a good 45
mins of Magnetic experimenting, before his brother Andrew found us & began
washing some of those magnets in his mouth. Thus, magnetism class 101 was
over.
Today’s weather: sunny but a cool Northwest wind which didn’t hold K & I
from getting some outdoor exercise. We drove over & up to the Saint
Bernard church area, parked the Suzuki & then walked down the east side,
then back up & down the west side, then back up to our car. It was ok but
very cool.
En route back to our motel, we make a quick stop @ Martin’s for milk; then
another not so quick stop @ the Indiana Mall where Kathy finds a few
things in several stores of interest on sale; then another stop @ the
Valley Dairy where we share a Meatloaf, mashed potato with gravy & salad
dinner. Back to our motel @ 7:30pm.
Kathy suggests calling FedEx to determine the blackout shipping date; I do
as suggested & find out the blackout period is over. Then, drive the
Suzuki all of 2 min to the Staples Store nearby, where I take the big
package containing Zack’s cheap computer that was left behind when they
left the Foote mansion early Saturday morning 30th Dec. It will be shipped
@ 4:00pm tomorrow to Isilon in Seattle.
High temp 43 Lights out: 12:05am
