@ one of our previous Koffee Klub meetings, someone mentioned that the Saint Benedict Church is having an Italian lunch with homemade lasagna, noodles & spaghetti sauce, sausage, green beans, homemade Italian bread, a mixed salad & homemade Italian cream cake + a beverage. We arrived about 12:35pm just in time to sit with Theresa, one of our distinguished Koffee Klub members, her sister-in-law, Louise, who lives in Nicktown, & her sister, Julia, & her husband, Bede, who live in Patton.
What a meal….it was so delicious, I ask Kathy to get their recipe for the lasagna & she found out: it’s top secret & no one dares to tell.
Back @ our motorhome, we watch Pope Benedict XVI saying Mass @ Yankee Stadium which went on for about (4) hrs. Heartwarming it was, to watch the Pope say Mass to some 80,000 Catholics & be very calm & relaxed in the process. I think he has practiced this a few times. It was wonderful to see so many Catholics expressing positive feelings toward the Pope as well.
Skype Ray in Ocean Park early evening; our audio & video were much improved, mostly due to our faster Internet speed.
Late evening, we finish watching DVR movie: “The Valley of Decision” with Greer Garson, Gregory Peck, Donald Crisp, Lionel Barrymore, Preston Foster, Marsha Hunt, etc. Polished adaptation of Marcia Davenport’s novel about labor & Class struggles in 1870 Pittsburgh & a star-crossed relationship between a housemaid (Garson) & the son of a steel mill owner (Peck). 1945. Great story & terrific acting; another one you don’t want to miss.
A few snacks were abundantly available during the show: popcorn, mixed nuts, Triscuits & pretzels.
