Awake: 6:07am Temp 50 sleep 6+19 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00am Mass; afterwards while walking toward the social room to join the KK members, Father Job came over & asked Kathy: “When do you want me to come for dinner?” Kathy questions, “What time would be good for you?” “I don’t like to eat too early,” he replies. “How’s 7:30?” “Great!” is Father’s reply. “See you then.”
After breakfast, Kathy begins her house cleaning, vacuuming just about everything in sight, & with breakneck speed. Guess who zipped outside? That turbo powered vacuum cleaner is so noisy!
Our homemade portable water filter (age 5 yrs) has recently shown signs of neglect, so today I start the restoration program; 1st I scrub the wood with a wire brush & then re-nail the support chassis. Next, epoxy all wooden connections; after the epoxy is cured, (1) coat of primer paint. For the night, I store the unit in the basement to keep it warm.
When Kathy finishes her vacuuming, I take the Eureka outdoors & clean the filter.
We watch the ABC Nat’l news & then Kathy begins preparing for Father’s visit.
Father Job knocks on our door about 7:20pm; he walked down from the rectory. Father wastes no time in scanning our living room, then remarks: “hey, this is pretty nice.” Over the yrs I have thoroughly enjoyed Father Job’s homilies; frank & short with loud & clear messages. We also enjoy his quick wit & boisterous laughter.
During our dinner of: salad, spaghetti, meat balls, Italian sausage & Italian bread; we got to know Father a little better & he learned more about us. It was a most casual & informative evening & we were very glad that Father had the time to accept our invitation.
After Father leaves, we watch the recorded “O’Reilly Factor” & the remaining history on “the Black Blizzard.”
Lights out: 12:17am
