Awake: 6:11am Temp 35 sleep 5+53 sunny overnight @ Pahrump, NV.
Visit Rosemary & Gary @ their home away from home across the street. We sit outside & while away the minutes discussing yesterday, today & tomorrow. Next week, G & R will be leaving Pahrump & heading south for awhile. They have been very good for us; thoughtful & generous friends, never a dull moment during frequent discussions, willing to help when needed, watching our motorhome during our absence, riding with us for airport departure & picking us up when we return, good meals, etc, etc. We’ll probably rendezvous with them next in PA, March or April, pending on weather, but in the meantime, we’ll miss them.
I return my sister Mary Jo’s phone call before starting dinner; she also has questions about Matthew & how things are going @ the Children’s Hospital. Fortunately I have Kathy’s update from yesterday to fill her in.
Dinner: leftover meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy & a fresh salad.
Corinne calls @ 8:03 pm local time. She’s looking for an update on the Foote family but I’ve heard nothing new yet today; it’s after 11:00pm her time so she will pass on a return call should Kathy call later tonight.
Timing is everything: Kathy calls @ 8:25pm. I couldn’t believe how fast this girl talks; “are you on steroids” I ask her. “I guess I am just so excited to be out of that hospital” she tells me. For the next hr & (3) min, I barely got a word in vertical. The entire Foote family members were very, very happy to be home again. I did eventually manage to get a short sentence in to suggest that she stay as long as she feels necessary to get the family well organized, because I am doing just fine out here in the Nevada sunshine.
Late DVR movie: “Semi-Tough” with Bert Reynolds, Kris Kristofferson, Jill Clayburgh, Robert Preston, etc. Easy going comedy about (2) football stars & their mutual girlfriend …wanders too much to hit any major targets but has some funny moments. Reynolds charm makes up for film’s other deficiencies. 1977. Not my cup of tea + I’m not into football.
