Awake: 6:03am Temp 58 sleep 6+27 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00am Mass & then join the KK meeting for an hr; afterward, we exercise for (1.4) hrs.
After breakfast, we motor to the Foote castle for an afternoon of enjoying the young grandsons. About a (15) min walk from the Foote house is a city park loaded with playground equipment for young kids. In lieu of walking to the library or over to the IUP campus with the young ones, Kathy & I are curious & would like to check the park out.
Melissa tells me she has wanted to do this also but has difficulty keeping track of the boys (Matthew & Andrew) when so many other children are also using the playground equipment. And so Kathy & I took turns watching the boys crawl thru tunnels, ride the merry-go-round, ride down twisted slides, bounce on sea-saws, be swingers, etc. We have never seen them so engaged, so busy & so happy. There were many children with a parent/parents & grandparent/grandparents. It not only made the Foote children happy but also made our day extra special.
After walking back to the Foote castle, we say our goodbyes, zip to Nicktown & attend the 6:00pm Mass.
Dinner: Leftover buffalo chicken, a small ham sandwich & peaches & grapes.
After dinner, we watch an hr of travel with Samantha Brown on: cities in both Italy & France. Then finish watching the movie: “Three on a Match” with Warren William, Joan Blondell, Bette Davis, Ann Dvorak, Humphrey Bogart, etc. Fast moving & surprisingly potent pre-code melodrama of (3) girls who renew childhood friendship, only to find suspense & tragedy. 1932. This movie may have broken the ice on using indecent language, showing more skin & more bedrooms scenes; and this was 1932!
Lights out: 11:15pm
