Awake: 5:16am Temp 42 sleep 5+54 mostly sunny overnight @ Littleton, CO.
Katrina calls @ 7:30am & gives us a short shopping list for when we go to Costco. After breakfast, we fulfill that request by stopping @ King Soopers grocery store & Costco. We also call Melissa to see if she has any requests for items from Costco. She must have been out with the boys as she didn’t return our call until hrs later. Our shopping trip took a mere (3) hrs due to the stocking up of our own basement grocery supplies.
Katrina told us earlier that she plans on being home @ her condo@ 4:00pm. We arrive @ 4:05 to see no one. We were told that her roomies have different working hrs so ringing the doorbell was not an option. Although the inside door was open, we thought best to just wait. About (30) min later, Katrina pops out the door to say: “how long have you been out there?” She arrived before 4:00 & was talking with Leland; one of her two roomies.
Katrina’s condo is in a great location; close to mall & grocery shopping; major highways ¼ of a mile away; surrounded with comparable condos & homes of equal or higher value; lots of trees & greenery; tennis & swimming pool usage, etc. She & Leland give us a grand tour of all the rooms & garage. We liked her place immediately.
And then: K & I begin perusing the “list” of things to do during our visit. We of course, volunteered to do another “work camp." This time for our daughter Katrina. She showed me the bag & box of tools that she borrowed from a teacher’s husband to assist in getting these jobs accomplished. I was impressed as I sorted through the bag & box: DeWalt power drill, portable skill saw, extension cord, tape measure, hammer, leveler, drill bits, channel locks, etc, etc. Like, how did that guy know what tools I would need to do these jobs? I can hardly wait to begin.
As we are having wine before dinner, we talk with Leland about his work & family; Stephanie arrives, Katrina’s other roommate, & joins in the conversation. It’s getting late & we have no plans for dinner. Katrina mentions that she has veggies & chicken so both she & Kathy put together a chicken stir fry with salad for the (5) of us for dinner. We continue our talk until around 9:45 & then return to our bus @ Chatfield RV Park, a (15) min drive.
@ the bus, Kathy begins prepping meat for tomorrow’s dinner @ the condo.
We finish watching the movie: “Fear Strikes Out” with Anthony Perkins, Karl Malden, Norma Moore, Adam Williams, etc. Stark account of baseball star Jimmy Piersall & his bout with mental illness. Perkins is properly intense, with Malden superb as his domineering father. 1957. This is edge of the seat entertainment & based on a true story; don’t miss it!
Lights out: 12:06am
