Awake: 6:05am Temp 44 sleep 6+00 fog…then mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00 am Mass & then spend an hr @ the KK meeting. Kathy has a doctor’s appointment mid morning so, shortly after we get back to our bus, she motors to her engagement.
Al is picking me up about 11:30 for our Rotary meeting so, in lieu of breakfast, I use the extra time to change my primary filter on Pump House # 2. I’m guessing that over a thousand gallons of well water flowed thru that filter since the last change. Then I shave & change clothes just before Al roars in @ 11:35am.
Al has (5) stops planned: (2) before our meeting & (3) after. It was another dandy Rotary meeting; Donna B made “Ball Park chili, potato slices & purchased chicken wings with rolls. Connie made a pan of brownies for dessert. Chuck announced the final net figures for our Golf Classic Tournament, slightly over $7,200.00. Al drops me off shortly after 2:00pm, minutes after Kathy’s arrival.
We share our adventure stories of the day; since Kathy’s appointment was right around the corner from Haida Manor, she took time to visit Bernie. She reported that he was sitting in a wheel chair, was quite alert, & able to talk though with some difficulty.
On the way back to the MH she stopped at "Ken's Lawnmowers" & inquired if he sold lawnmowers. Ken had many lawn mowers, weed whackers &, riding mowers in various stages of repair & disrepair. He said he does sell any of his inventory as he gets it repaired. Kathy told him she'd be interested in a self propelled push mower with a grass catcher. Ken took her name & phone number & assured her that he'd call when he had one matching her description ready to go.
We call my brother for his 69th birthday. He & Josie will celebrate by going out for dinner tonight. He thinks Josie will pay the bill.
Dinner: leftover Ball Park chili & corn chips.
We finish watching: “The Dresser” with Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay, Edward Fox, Zena Walker, etc. Excellent film adaptation of Ronald Harwood’s play about an aging actor-manager (based on real-life Donald Wolfit) whose very survival depends on the constant pampering & prodding of his dresser….who lives vicariously thru the old man’s performances. Finney, as Sir, & Courtenay, as Norman the dresser, are simply superb. 1983. If you don’t like the theater, this is not for you; if you do, this is a must see.
