Awake: 6:54 am Temp 52 sleep 6+03 overcast overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00 am Mass & then join the KK for an hr.
After our breakfast & some computer time, we leave @ 12:10 pm & motor to St Thomas More University Church & Newman Center in Indiana, PA & give them a box of classic long playing records. The Newman Center is having their (40th) Annual Book, Record, DVD, Video, etc sale…..starting tomorrow.
After a quick tour of the massive amount of books, etc, we continue on our way to Robinson Township, about (8) miles west of Pittsburgh. Why (R T?); that’s where Kathy loves to shop for groceries & other good deals at Costco. After a good hr of this shopping, we leave Costco, drive downtown Pittsburgh, find Forbes Ave & Carnegie-Mellon University. Since leaving Costco, Kathy & Zack have been keeping each other up-to-date on our location & projected ETA; Zack made the clinching call by saying: “I am standing by the curb on the other side of the signal light of Forbes & Morewood.
We were happy to see Zack & we hope, vice versa; with the company’s approval, he arranged to spend the weekend with the Footes in Indiana, Pa & then return to Seattle, WA late Sunday night. En Route, Zack describes in detail, his latest recruiting activity.
We make one stop: for ice cream @ Brusters arriving @ the Foote Castle about 6:45pm. The young boys were just finishing their showers & the bedtime reading was next. Matthew & Andrew were delighted to see Zack again, but Nathan was a little shy, probably due to not remembering him well enough.
Around 8:30, Kevin takes Kinley out for her evening walk; Melissa puts Matthew to bed first, followed by Nathan then Andrew. Kathy & I enjoy our time with Zack. Time was passing quickly & we figured Zack was getting tired, so I hinted that we should return to our motorhome which we did @ 9:00.
Late DVR movie: “Paper Moon” with Ryan O’Neal, Tatum O’Neal, Madeline Kahn, John Hillerman, etc. Unbeatable entertainment, harking back to Damon Runyonesque 1930’s, as con man O’Neal unwillingly latches onto young girl (his real-life daughter) who’s pretty sharp herself. Tatum made her film debut here & won an Oscar for her scene-stealing work. 1973. This flick was fantastic! Don’t skip over it.
Lights out: 12:09am
