Awake: 6:32am Temp 43 sleep 6+57 overcast overnight @ Nicktown, PA.

We walk to 8:00 am Mass for the Ascension Thursday Holy Day. Then we join the Koffee Klub for over an hr. K & I eat only a healthy muffin for breakfast for I have generously invited Kathy out for lunch.

We leave about 11:25am, drive to the Cambria Hills Country Club near Barnesboro & attend the Rotary meeting. Lunch was delicious: tender pork ribs, pasta, cold slaw, tomato slices & chocolate cake for dessert. Today’s crowd of (8) was small but we manage to all have good appetites.

Back @ our motorhome, I finally finalize the paperwork on our motorhome’s title & registration save for having (2) papers notarized & mailing the package to Alaska. Cindy, our nearby notary, is out of town for the rest of the week. My call to the listed notary in Barnesboro went flat. I call my brother in Ebensburg; he recommends his former employee Sue who has been a notary for yrs.

Sue is busy when I arrive but takes time out for my request. “Oops!” says Sue. “I can only do notary on documents, not vehicles.” I ask her for ideas; she recommends the auto dealership, McCall Motors, a few miles east. Ah, I know this place; my brother buys his cars there. The FedEx drop box pickup time in town is 4:00pm; time now 3:45.

@ McCall Motors, the 1st door I knock on is a bingo. My (2) papers get the stamp & signature & some important tips: another FedEx drop box across town with a pickup of 4:30. My FedEx envelope slides into the slot @ 4:20; later as I zoom toward Nicktown, a blurred vehicle passes in the opposite direction; a FDX truck. I want to get that package to Ken in Anchorage before he goes to his summer cabin in McCarthy.

Back @ our motorhome, Kathy is busy baking a batch of lemon bars & a double chocolate banana cake.

Because of our good size lunch, dinner is simply a mixed salad & toast.
Late evening: call Ken in Anchorage; “the package will arrive tomorrow” I tell him. “It’s about time” he says. “I’ve been checking our mail daily.”

Even later movie: “The Greatest Game ever Played” with Shia LaBeouf, Stephen Dillane, Josh Flitter Peyton List, etc. Winning story of sportsmanship & class struggle surrounding the 1913 U.S. Open Tournament in Brookline, Massachusetts, where a caddy (LaBeouf), is allowed to play opposite the much-admired British champion (Dillane).
Solid, old-fashioned storytelling with a modern eye; golf has never been portrayed like this before. 2005. Even if you’re not a golfer, you’ll love this movie + it was based on a true story…..we Googled it.
