Awake: 5:50am Temp 50 sleep 6+25 partly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00 am Mass &, afterwards, find our conference room already occupied with another group activity; we had no advanced notice. The early bird members had already fled the coop but we stood outside & tried to figure out: what do we do now? Father Job, who obviously took pity on us, volunteered his dining room table with cups & coffee @ the rectory; a rare case of: “the late birds get the worm!”
@ 1:45pm, Kathy motors downtown Barnesboro for groceries, library & a little thrift store looking; my quiet time. I wrote a birthday note to our Goddaughter in CA; then, by filling out a form, applied for a computer password @ our credit union. Kathy returns @ 4:05pm with a few magazines, books & groceries.
Dinner: Chili with macaroni, Triscuits & cantaloupe.
Then: nat’l news & Jeopardy while cleaning diner dishes.
I attend the 8:00 pm Holy Name meeting @ the church hall; (15) people present; always interesting & well conducted.
Late DVR movie: “The Search” with Montgomery Clift, Ivan Jandl, Aline MacMahon, Jarmila Novotna, etc. Poignant drama of American soldier Clift caring for concentration camp survivor Jandl in postwar Berlin, while the boy’s mother desperately searches all displaced Person’s Camps for him. Beautifully acted & directed; won a Best Story Academy Award. 1948. Fantastic story….definitely add this one to your list.
Lights out: 11:58pm
