Awake: 6:03am Sleep 6+42 cloudy-windy overnight @ Indiana, PA.
After breakfast in the motel, we make a quick trip to Hastings Clinical facility (45 min) where Kathy has some blood work done in prep for tomorrows visit with Doctor Brian.
Then we join the Koffee Klub in Nicktown for awhile (it was good to see & talk with the gang again), then attend 9:00am daily Mass @ Saint Nicholas church. We also pick up our mail from the local post office, talk with our near neighbor, Chuck, drive the van over to our property & make (2) trips around the circular drive (everything looks good). Then drive slowly by Theresa L’s renovated classic home & then, return to the Foote Castle.
Zack & Katie greet us upon our arrival. We discuss her quick trip from Chicago to the Pittsburgh Airport. Zack is all smiles having K T near his side.
Dinner: leftover spaghetti in sauce, whole wheat noodles, leftover ham, cranberries, leftover potatoes, gravy, etc.
Mid afternoon, the younger guys & gals make & decorate Christmas cookies in the dining room while Nick plays with Jerry downstairs in the game room with the Airport & Parking Garage units. In Kevin’s spare time, he gives Andrew some flying lessons & free fall experience in the living room, tossing him up close to the ceiling, then casually catching him before the landing. All that Andrew could say with a great big smile was: “Again!” over & over.
After the Foote boys were comfortably in bed & Jerry with Eriko upstairs, K T gets out her (3) board games that she brought with her to play with us. Zack carefully scrutinized these board games on the spot & slowly realized that maybe, the tried & accepted “Loaded Questions” game was more appropriate for the late occasion. A splendid choice I thought. K & I stayed & played the latest yet @ the Foote Castle; another fun day it was.
Lights out: 12:01am
