Awake: 6:53am Temp 66 sleep 7+20 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
K & I drive to 8:00am Mass & then join the Koffee Klub for over an hr. After the meeting, I let Roger know that I can’t tour him around today & ask if any of the members could possibly drive him. Bill M. comes to the rescue & that is good. With the volunteer work that K & I are committed to doing for the Homecoming Picnic tomorrow plus Nathaniel’s Baptism we are busy beavers.
Back @ the bus, a message from Katrina tells us that she had laser eye surgery yesterday. Later today, she calls & describes the operation. Her eyes are sore & sensitive she tells us but she can see better already.
Zack calls on his way to work in Seattle. He brings us up-to-date on his activities & his work experience.
Early afternoon, I drive over to the Krumenacker Hardware Store & buy a pair of gloves that are string knitted & coated with PVC front & back; I am getting ready for my job @ the church hall tomorrow morning. I also purchase a pint of primer & green paint for Kathy to paint the wooden covers on a section of our septic system down in the lower field of our property.
Meanwhile Kathy is busy doing some more baking & cooking for Nathaniel’s Baptism gathering later tomorrow evening. Those (24) ears of corn that Flossy gave us on Wednesday need to be shucked so I do that so Kathy can parboil & quickly cool them, remove the kernels, & freeze them for later.
We leave Nicktown @ 5:15 pm to join in our annual 1st Cousins Reunion in Spangler. We look forward to seeing a lot of these people each yr & we are blessed to have so many nice & pleasant 1st cousins in the area; between 35 & 40 are present tonight. My sister, Corinne, does an excellent job of being the facilitator of this group & Ralph + Flossy continue to be the best entertainers in our crowd. The many covered dishes are more than adequate to satisfy our group; it was another successful & enjoyable rendezvous for all of us. Melissa & Kevin were kept quite busy overseeing their boys.
On our return to our bus, we stop & join a small gathering of classmates @ Barry & Bonnie’s house. Not many people showed up for this last minute get-together but the few who did, including K & me, a total of (7), enjoyed spending time together.
