Awake: 5:52am Temp 66 sleep 6+30 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.

We drive separate cars to the community center & attend our Koffee Klub meeting for 1.3 hrs. Then Kathy drives the Suzuki to the church hall to help make candy with (17) other ladies. Meanwhile I take Roger with me to visit Flossy who gives us (24) ears of corn; (6) peppers; (1) large zucchini & a speckled squash.

Back @ the community center, I tell Roger I need (3) hrs to do some paperwork & other things & then to meet me @ the bus & we’ll do some more local visiting. During this time, I type & e-mail a list of items that need to be checked & fixed when we visit the Newell factory in September. Kathy returns from candy making @ 1:05pm.

Roger returns @ 1:30pm. I call my cousin, Ethel, to see if my cousin, Bernie, is available for a visit; she says he is mowing grass now but will surely take a break when we show up.
Bernie is found waiting on his classic lawn swing. We spend a good (1.5) hrs blabbing & trying to solve the problems of the world & then, Dick H. arrives & joins us as a swinger. Dick & his wife Diana just drove in from Chicago to be here for the Homecoming Picnic in Nicktown. With Dick’s influence, our swinging continues as his military tank & aircraft mechanic stories mesmerize us for another (1.5) hrs. It was a good visit. Roger & I leave @ 5:20 pm & I return Roger to his sister’s place. Then K & I walk to 6:00pm evening Mass.

Dinner: leftover meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy & a fresh salad.

Late movie: “Dodsworth” with Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton, Paul Lukas, Mary Astor, David Niven, etc. A story of a middle aged-American industrialist, who retires, goes to Europe where he & his wife find differing sets of values & new relationships. 1936. Unusually mature Hollywood film….not to be missed.
