Awake: 5:54am Temp 62 sleep 6+21 overcast overnight @ Nicktown.
1st thing this morning, Kathy gets a head start on cooking dinner for tonight.
Dick C. calls from Miami, OK on Skype; we chat for a good (20) min using our phone line for a backup on audio. He will be leaving the Newell factory today, if all systems check “OK” starting toward his 1st destination: Portland, then Newport, OR. I wish him a bon voyage & ask him to Skype us when he has some free time.
K & I walk to our KK meeting this morning @ 8:30am. About (15) min later, Kathy & Theresa leave the meeting to join the noodle making gang. @ the church hall. Kathy returns @ 12:45 & then leaves again to join a female 1st cousins gathering @ Eileen’s home in town @ 1:30pm. This is the second annual such get together at Eileen’s with (9) women present today. In addition to cake & ice cream to celebrate Corinne’s birthday, Eileen served fresh fruit appetizers. She also hand drew cards for each cousin & bought & wrapped (17) gifts so that they could play a game of “Chinese Auction.” It was suggested that next year each cousin bring a gift. Kathy had nothing but positive comments upon her return & was happy to be counted a “1st cousin-in-law!”
With Kathy being gone & busy today, I try to catch up with watching a few DVD’s that were given to me a while back & not of her interest…. now’s my chance. 1st DVD: “Weapons of War” & “Super Fighters.” 2nd DVD: “National Aviation Hall of Fame.” I am into the hall of fame by (20) min when Kathy returns with Corinne following about (10) min behind. It was good while it lasted & I know there will be another opportunity, but for now, TV off.
Corinne & I talk @ length about perhaps getting our brother Don & sister Mary Jo interested in organizing our notes, thoughts & memories of “Life on the Farm” or as Eileen wrote: “Growing up in Kirschtown.” I also entertain thoughts of writing a book on: “Being a Lucky Birdman” or something like that! Anyway, it’s a lot easier said… than done.
Dinner with Corinne: Buffalo Chicken Chili Mac and salad. We had some good talking time with Corinne this evening.
K & I watch an hr of “Alaska & the Bears.”
