Awake: 6:26am Temp 40 sleep 5+53 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
Kathy makes her special sourdough pancake breakfast with eggs, bacon & real maple syrup. Not long after breakfast, I run the well water into the lower field to clear out the somewhat cloudy water @ the bottom of the well. I do this every time the well sits a long time without use.
Mid morning, Melissa calls: she reports that both Matthew & Andrew were sick during the night….like a (1) day flu; vomiting & diarrhea. She warns us that they may still be carriers & be contagious to us. Well, it sort of put us on the spot; we turned her down yesterday & now today, it’s risky. Oh what the heck, we say to ourselves! We’re healthy & we will be careful & not be real chummy.
It was a wonderful visit; both boys were not their usual spunky selves but Matthew warmed up to us immediately (being older); Andrew (being younger) treated us like a couple of strangers; later though, he did get a little more friendly. We played in the back yard with the boys for quite a while. Then Matthew showed me his interest in electricity by plugging in many extension cords, one after another. He pretends that the vacuum cleaner works when plugged in; the light switches on; the compressor runs, etc. That’s really good for a (3.5) yr old.
Kevin makes hamburgers & potato slices on their grill & we join them for a mid-afternoon meal. Melissa, now more than halfway through her pregnancy, is feeling good. We leave around 4:30 pretty happy about our 1st visit in (4) months.
Back @ our motorhome, I find the well water very clear again, so tomorrow I’ll ask Kathy to clean up the filter canisters, then I’ll put the filters in line & hook the water up to our coach water works.
Lights out: 12:12am
