Awake: 6:58am Temp 49 sleep 6+36 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
As Kathy did yesterday, she gets right on the job of boiling another dozen of tomatoes, skins, mashes & bags them for the freezer. Then we motor to the Foote Castle…arriving @ 11:50am.
We were told to be here & ready for a 12:30 “walk for Diabetes” but, the Foote family has yet to return from attending 9:30am Mass. Aha, they were buying lots of children’s books, games, puzzles etc…for a very reasonable price @ the Book Sale.
About an hr later, we follow the Foote Mini Van northbound about (7) miles to Blue Spruce Park, where there are hundreds of people in solid orange, gray, yellow, white, etc, shirts representing a friend, family member or someone else having Diabetes. Group pictures are taken of the various groups, then we all casually walk (1) mile around the lake; @ the finish point, Subway provided sandwiches, chips & drinks. The gathering was well organized. Even Kinley participated in the walk as Kevin constantly held onto her leash. Also, Nathan’s godparents, Mary Beth & Phil & their children, Nick, Zack, & Kate joined in the walk with the Foote family.
After finishing our Subway lunch, Kathy, Zack & I say our goodbyes for now & start heading back to the Pittsburgh Airport so Zack can catch his scheduled flight to Seattle. (2) hours later, we say our goodbyes to Zack & wish him a bon voyage. En route back to our MH, K & I made a stop @ Dean’s Diner for dinner; she had turkey with dressing & a salad; I had meatloaf, mash potatoes & gravy + a salad. By the way, Dean’s Diner is up for sale. The dad passed away in 2004 & he wanted his (2) sons to keep the business going, but operating it remotely was too difficult, so in 2006, the brothers put Dean’s Diner up for sale; it’s still for sale. I must say, I’ve always had a good meal there.
We are back to our motorhome in time for a good movie; I forgot to look @ the clock. We watch ½ of “Zulu” because somebody wasn’t paying attention.
Lights out: 12:19 am
