Awake: 5:55am Temp 36 sleep 5+45 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00am Mass & then join the KK for (20) min. Our social room was again, reserved; & the coffee drinkers did finish their cup before the bell tolled.
After breakfast, I cleaned my black walnuts that Pat & Frank gave me by putting them in a container of water, sloshing them around with a rake & then laying them on the gravel to dry.
Next, I began preparing electrical site # 2 for winter but ran out of time to finish.
Call Melissa & check on the Foote infirmary status; she assures us we’ll be ok. Then we motor to the Foote Castle for a brief visit & to say our goodbyes for now. Nathan had a (103) temperature & both Andrew & Matthew had runny noses; however I spent a good (40) min on the 3rd floor with Kevin & Matthew helping to assemble a “made in Germany” plastic castle; Kevin was the mastermind on this project though. Kathy spent time helping Andrew put a (100) piece Thomas the Train puzzle together (he’s getting to be a good puzzle worker). Melissa was busy comforting Nathan so we didn’t get to talk with her too much. We look forward to seeing them again for our Christmas rendezvous.
Before we leave, Kevin tours me thru the basement, pausing to point out the various legs that will be connected when they get their radiators returned on Friday. They have been using their fireplace for heat for the past few days which have seen quite cold temps.
K & I attend 4:00pm vigil Mass @ Saint Thomas Moore Church in Indiana then return to Nicktown.
Mid evening, I turn a light on for heat in our pump house to prevent freezing.
Dinner: leftover hot artichoke dip & leftover tuna-noodle casserole.
Watch (35) min of movie: “The life & Death of Colonel Blimp.”
Lights out: 12:00 midnight
