Awake: 8:10am Temp 60 sleep 5+55 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
K & I attend the Koffee Klub meeting for over an hr. She made zucchini cranberry cake yesterday & brought some to the meeting this morning. The conference table was full to capacity & her cake went over very well. The meeting adjourned @ 10:05.
Next K & I exercise for a good 60 min. Cousin Roger was with us but he exercised very little. In Texas, he does water aerobics (3) times a week & also walks twice a week. After our workout, we invite Roger to join us for breakfast/lunch in our motorhome.
Later I make a phone call to our retired high school English teacher, Vernon K., living in town. He & his wife welcome a visit from Roger & me. We chat for a good 1.5 hrs under their gazebo in their back yard. Vernon was a terrific teacher & certainly has not lost his good sense of humor.
Next, I introduce the Krumenacker Hardware store in town to Roger. I couldn’t believe he had never been into that store after living a mile outside of Nicktown for (20) yrs. Once inside, we talk with Herm & Byron behind the counter. Roger was impressed with the well stocked store.
Next we drive to Barnesboro, top off the Lexus fuel tank, buy some more wine & then, visit another one of our retired high school teachers, Bill N. Bill was a darn good math teacher & well appreciated. We yak for over (40) min on many subjects but not about math.
Back @ the bus, Roger offers to take Kathy & me out for dinner; we choose Roland’s in Spangler. K & I should have split a meal; the homemade meatloaf dinner with gravy, mashed potatoes, string beans & a salad was more than each of us could handle. Roger did OK but we used a take out container for later. From here, I drop Kathy off @ our motorhome & then drive Roger back to his sister’s home about a mile down the road.
@ 7:00pm my 1st cousin, Max, & his wife arrive for a visit. They split their time between PA & Florida each yr, playing a lot of golf in each location. We see them frequently around our town & the area & figured it’s time we have a real sit down sojourn. Over the next (2) + hrs, we covered a lot of territory: i.e. during my teen yrs, I worked with Max in his brother’s construction company; he was the pro & I the gofer. We had a lot of fun just reminiscing.
Lights out: 12:02am
