Awake: 6:00am Temp 53 sleep 5+49 wind & drizzle overnight @ Nicktown.
K &I attend 8:00 am Mass & then join the KK.
After breakfast, Kathy starts cooking dinner in advance, for a special guest tonight.
While she’s busy in the galley, I call Mary K & set up an appointment to have the Riviera washed on Wednesday evening & waxed on Thursday.
Next, I call my brother Don & talk about our Rotary Club in relation to his Rotary Club; plus the “Potato Fest” in Ebensburg tomorrow.
Then K & I motor to the Foote Castle & spend (2) hrs with the young boys so Melissa could be free to run some errands & do more organizing for their camping trip coming up soon. While Kathy reads to Andrew, I go to the 2nd floor bedroom with Nathan & Matthew where I introduce the magic balloon, which stays airborne by the blowing air from the fan. Matthew was mesmerized & Nathan wanted to catch & eat the balloon.
Downstairs, Andrew & Matthew take turns playing the game of Ker-Plunk with me. Then it’s time to leave so Kathy can continue preparing food for tonight’s special guest.
Special guest, my sister, Sister Corinne, arrives about 5:35pm; she updates us on her activities & travels since we’ve talked & e-mailed last. That took awhile as she had a lot of interesting stories to tell us; and before we know it, dinner is served: Pecan encrusted Tilapia fish, wild rice & a mixed salad.
After the meal, I gently hinted to my sister that: “it would sure be nice to have some help with all these dirty dishes” & by gosh….without much hesitation, she got right in there & washed them all up! Why haven’t I done this before…when having all those frequent guests visit us; duh! Anyway, it was a nice gesture & I sure appreciated it.
After watching about (20) min of the Presidential debate: McCain vs. Obama, Corinne left us & returned to her Lilly Pad. No movie tonight.
Lights out: 11:29pm
