Awake: 5:53am Temp 55 sleep 6+02 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
K & I walk to 8:00 am Mass…..then join the Koffee Klub for an hour. Kathy brought her homemade cake in for the Klub members to feast on & they loved it. Afterward, we visit Janet @ the rectory & give her our wallet size pictures for the church directory booklet.
Later, we leave @ 11:40 am, drive to the town of Saint Benedict, continue past the drive in movie theater to the Medical Center in the town of Carrolltown for our scheduled appointment with Doctor Brian. (2) hrs later, after each of us filled out paper work & individually spent time with the doctor, we both agree that we like this guy & their operation & look forward to having him as our local family doctor.
Next we drive to Johnstown & stock up on Italian sausage @ Conzettas; then return to Nicktown.
I talk with our near neighbors, Chuck & Shirley; they just replaced their outdoor carpeting on the back porch. It looks good. While there, I mention our travel plans for the next month & that we will be leaving sometime this week.
I pour the unused diesel fuel from filling the John Deere tractor into our motorhome tank. That should add @ least (3) more miles to our travels.
Kathy calls the Footes & talks with them about a potential plan to drop off the sourdough starter later this week on our way west by northwest.
7:05 dinner: Italian sausage from Conzettas, whole wheat noodles, tomato sauce, mixed salad & toast.
Early evening; K & I pick (4) quarts of wild strawberries taking us 1.5 hrs. The de-stemming took nearly as much time as the picking & reduced our volume to about 3.3 quarts; the wild berries have a lot more flavor but are smaller.
Late evening: we watch the “O’Reilly Factor.”
High temp=80 Lights out: 12:24am
