Awake: 6:48am Temp 43 sleep 6+41 partly sunny overnight @ Littleton, CO.
Mary Jane calls around 10:30am. We talk about meeting in downtown Littleton for coffee but haven’t picked a particular spot yet. They’ve been in Denver several weeks now visiting their daughter, Kelly, & her husband, Bill, on the occasion of the birth of their first child, Sophia. They also visited their son & other granddaughter, Taylor & will return to Alaska tomorrow. K & I decide to checkout downtown Littleton in our search for a suitable meeting place; we discover the cleanliness of the town & how alive & active the main section is with many stores & businesses. Kathy asks a young lady about the nearest Starbucks; she directs us (4) blocks north & after seeing this, we declare our meeting place when we call Mary Jane & Gene again.
Early afternoon, Gene & Mary Jane appear. Kathy treats all of us to a Starbucks of our choice & then we gab for the next (2) hrs about anything & everything while sitting outside under the Starbucks umbrellas. @ 3:30, we say our goodbyes & “Bon Voyage” for now; it was really nice seeing them again & getting updated on the latest news.
Now K & I are hungry. Just next door is the IL Vicino wood oven pizza place. We share an 8” pizza which was great; something to keep in mind for dinner.
Kat calls: she is on her way home from school so we meet her @ the condo. A few more fix up things left on my list: replacing another switch; this one for the front porch light. In the garage, the cable guys made some oversize holes when feeding their cables through the sheetrock. I use a wood epoxy filler that hardens strong to fill those holes; once it’s sanded & painted, it’ll be tough to see where it was fixed. Also, using the ladder, replace a burned out light bulb on the landing leading to the 2nd floor bedrooms.
Dinner with Katrina @ the IL Vicino pizza place. K & Kat share a half & half chicken & mixed veggie 10” pizza & I have a small 8” pepperoni. Their pizza is pretty darn good. Kat treats us to the wine & pizza dinner; thank you daughter Katrina.
Kat & Kathy ride in Kat’s car, I in our Suzuki & we drive back to our bus; Katrina wanted to see our newly renovated motorhome. She doesn’t stay too long as the hr is late. We say our “goodnight” & then finish watching the DVR movie: “The Farmer’s Daughter” with Loretta Young, Joseph Cotton, Ethel Barrymore, Charles Bickford, Rose Hobart, etc. Young won an Oscar for her irresistible performance as a naïve but straight-thinking farm girl who goes to work for a senator and winds up running for a congressional seat against his party. Delightful comedy with an excellent cast. 1947. No question about it; this movie should be on the top of your list.
Lights out: 12:38am
