Awake: 6:13am Temp 56 sleep 6+22 mostly cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00am Mass & then join the KK for over an hr. Hot topic: distinguished visitor (Loretta) Pat’s youngest sister from Texas; a (2) day visit on her way to MA with her daughter where they will visit another sister, Terry.
After breakfast, now that the grass mowing is finished, I top off the diesel fuel tank, wash & clean the John Deere tractor & park it on our circular drive ready to be picked up. Then I call Ken P. & leave a message to pick up when suitable.
Next, I walk to the lower field & look for stumps that I missed flagging; the sun is hot with heavy humidity so I don’t last long. Back to the motorhome, I sponge off the sweat & get ready for a trip to the big city of Barnesboro. Shortly after this, Ken arrives to reclaim his John Deere; “good timing” I say. He got my message & wants to try & get his lawn mowed before the rain moves in.
Kathy & I drive to Barnesboro where she returns a library book & gets a couple more while I stop in @ Sherry’s Appliance store to see if the vacuum cleaner belt for Melissa’s Hoover Flair has arrived yet; it didn’t & they will call me when it does.
Next we visit our dentist: Peter K. for teeth cleaning, X-Rays & checks. Neither of us have cavities & Dr. K. highly complimented our previous dental work. It felt good having our teeth cleaned again. By the way, rain, heavy @ times, moved in during our time @ the dentist & continued thru the evening.
Dinner: Tilapia with brown rice & a mixed salad.
Finish watching: “Funny Girl” with Barbra Streisand, Omar Sharif, Kay Medford, Anne Francis, Walter Pidgeon, Lee Allen, etc. Streisand’s Oscar-winning film debut as Fanny Brice, singer-comedienne whose unhappy private life contrasted comic antics onstage. Bad as biography, but first-rate as musical. 1968. One of Kathy’s favorite movies; for me, it was fine.
To finish our evening, we watch & listen to political speeches by: McCain; Hillary & Obama.
