Awake: 5:45am Temp 45 sleep 5+48 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00am Mass & then join the KK meeting for an hr.
After a meager breakfast, I load Kevin’s weed whacker into the Suzuki, & we drive directly to the Foote Castle & join them for an early dinner & celebration of Kevin’s 33rd birthday.
After the traditional “Happy Birthday” song was sung, we all enjoyed a special dinner of: Mexican lasagna, mixed salad & a butter pecan cake with several choices of ice cream for dessert. Then Kevin returns to his job @ the University.
As a birthday favor, Kathy cleans up the kitchen & washes the dishes while I take my (140) watt soldering gun upstairs to finish the other trouble maker wire connection; hopefully now, this case is closed.
Also, as these activities are in motion, Melissa is readying the young Foote boys & (35) library books for a walking trip to the Indiana library downtown.
I volunteer to pull the suitcase with the books while Matthew talks with Kathy & me on their walkie-talkies. Kevin was given (3) of these walkie-talkies just this week. We don’t talk continuously however, being mindful of battery usage. We saunter in slow motion due to high temps today; many stops for ice cubes in a container that Melissa carries with her + rest spots in shady areas. We spend about (1.3) hrs @ the library; Melissa swaps her read (35) books for (35) more unread books, then a quick snack for the boys in front of the Courthouse where Kevin arrives on his bike & helps the process….. & then the s-l-o-w walk back to the Foote Castle.
Kevin did speed pedal his bike home, changed clothes & returned on foot to walk with the rest of us. Regardless of the heat wave & slow motion activity, we did enjoy being with our grandsons & daughter & the casualness of the day. We are back to our cool coach @ 6:25pm.
Dinner: leftover chicken parmesan; we really weren’t very hungry after our b’day dinner.
Katrina calls while fueling her Honda; she updates us about her latest activities: running a ½ marathon (13.1) miles. She was happy with her time but I don’t remember the number.
We continue watching: “Funny Girl” but choose to finish it tomorrow night.
Lights out: 11:51pm
