Awake: 5:23am Temp 52 sleep 5+52 mostly cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend the 8:30 am KK meeting & then an hr of exercise @ the community center.
After breakfast, we drive to the Foote castle for an afternoon of spending time with our local grandsons. When we arrive, we find them dressed for a casual walk around the block with Miss Kinley so we join them.
Back @ the castle, I spend a good hr on the 3rd floor playing with the Brio train set with Matthew while Kathy plays in the downstairs playroom with Andrew; then we switch & Kathy dons her engineer’s hat while I join Andrew downstairs in the game room playing with model cars, trucks, airplanes, etc. During some of these (2) hrs, Nathan is sleeping which allows Melissa time for herself; something she rarely gets!
When Nathan awakes, we all (minus Kinley) walk over to the IUP campus & watch some heavy equipment demolish an older, but tough, dormitory in prep for the building of new dormitory buildings which will match the latest buildings across the street. After some (15 to 20) min of watching this spellbinding machine power, which the young Foote boys love to do, we saunter across the street to the new (4) double dormitories that have recently been dedicated on campus. Then it’s back to the Foote castle where we greet Kevin who is walking Miss Kinley for exercise. Shortly thereafter, we say our goodbyes for now & return to Nicktown.
Next, we change clothes, drive to the church hall & spend (1.2) hrs sanding old paint off a few metal panels.
Dinner: leftover chili from the Footes.
Watch Nat’l news & the O’Reilly Factor.
Gary C. calls with an invitation for dinner @ their place on Sunday; we waste no time in accepting before they change their mind.
Corinne calls & alerts us about my (96) yr old Aunt Bertha in Ohio who is in the hospital with a possible bowel obstruction & she wants us to alert my brother & sister. Instead, we call Roger & Michelle in Ohio to get the real scoop on “what’s happening.” We learn that, although she had her gall bladder surgically taken out several years ago, she has been suffering from a gallstone which the doctor’s were able to remove & she seems to be doing much better already.
