Awake: 5:40am Temp 56 sleep 5+16 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
K & I walk to 8:00am Mass…..then we both skip the Koffee Klub meeting today. (5) of our distinguished members are absent & attending a more worthy cause. From here, Kathy walks to the church hall & spends about (4) hrs helping the ladies make more noodles for our homecoming picnic.
I walk back to our coach & program Lady Garmin GPS & the Princess Pioneer GPS to our new destination. Then trim some of the grass around our campsite’s electric, water, telephone utilities, etc, using a large pair of scissors. Then spend (45) min repairing the telephone wire that I inadvertently cut off while trimming the grass; splicing, soldering, & wrapping the wire with electrical tape. UGH!
Kathy finishes noodle making around 1:00pm; then we drive 1.5 miles & visit Rosemary & Herm @ their farm house. We sit & chat on the front porch for nearly (2) hrs. Due to arthritis & Parkinsonism, Herm is moving & talking very slowly but there’s nothing wrong with his sense of humor. Rosemary, his wife for 61 years, still has energy to help with noodle making and is his ever loving & constant care giver.
My sister, Corinne, arrives promptly @ 5:00pm. She is looking good these days; riding her bike & being more aware of what & how she eats. She realizes it’s a slow process & that is great that she is realistic about time. While Kathy is cooking the dinner meal, I give Corinne a slide show on the big screen covering some of our recent travels: Reading, PA & the WWII experience & touring Texas for (4) months. Naturally the slide show couldn’t be shown in its entirety.
7:15 dinner: Chicken/broccoli casserole with brown rice, mixed salad, & whole wheat pita bread. After dinner, I excuse myself & with the light of the evening still left, start doing the things necessary in prep for our early morning departure. I think Corinne felt that she should be getting back to Lilly as well, so we say our goodbyes & wishes for safe travels. It was a very comfortable visit with Corinne. We hope she didn’t feel chased out.
