Awake: 6:40am Temp 53 sleep 6+33 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
K & I drive to attend 8:00am Mass; then join the Koffee Klub meeting for 1.5 hrs. Today’s highlighted topics: roads, streets & sidewalks. I won’t go into detail; it’s much too complicated.
Ray from Ocean Park, WA calls after our return; we have a nice long chat making up for the other “too many short chats” that we didn’t take enough time for. Their son Nathan Andrew recently graduated from the University of Portland & is now en route to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to begin his new life. Ray sounds good; we are planning to visit Ray & Sharon later this yr.
My Sister Corinne calls: she invites us for a real Italian dinner @ their place tomorrow night. She said the right words: “A real Italian dinner.” But wait, there is more. The Sisters Three: that’s a special treat. They are Catholic Nuns whom we’ve known for yrs (especially my Sister) & enjoy very much. We both look forward to this gathering.
Today is the primary voting day for PA. On this annual occasion, the Heilwood Presbyterian Church has a special turkey dinner with all the trimmings; eat in or take out @ a very reasonable price. It’s a very popular meal that many partake in. During our Koffee Klub meeting this morning, K & I talk with Bill & Theresa & agree on a 3:00pm rendezvous for an early dinner.
Generous portions of turkey meat; dark or white or both, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, cranberries, rolls, dessert & coffee; it was great. Some of us took a doggy bag home in lieu of overeating. Then we invite Theresa & Bill (who are 1st cousins & very good friends since childhood) over to our abode for wine, a slide show & movies.
Bill was @ his finest; he told stories of the early days in Spangler when in grade school; then high school & later college about some of those many girlfriends he dated. That topic stayed with us for hrs as we all took turns revealing the 1st real love of our lives.
Then we watched Theresa’s CD, & DVD slides & movies of her recent travels of Bern, Switzerland, France & Dubai, U.A.E. United Arab Emerits. Super great company; terrific discussions & excellent wine; it was a fun evening without a doubt. Oh the wine: a Merlot; Ste Genevieve only from Texas.
