Awake: 6:45am Temp 44 sleep 7+17 drizzle cool & overcast overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I attend 8:00 am Mass & then join the KK for an hr.
Late morning, Kathy agrees to join me for today’s Rotary meeting; en route we make a stop in Barnesboro where Kathy searches for a: “going away card” for Father John Paul & I check with the Sherry Appliance Store to see if they can get a replacement gear, that is worn out from usage on Melissa’s Hoover Flair vacuum cleaner. Ron searches diligently on his computer for that specific part…only to find out: one has to buy the motor with the attached necessary gear…which costs about 1/3 the price of the vacuum cleaner itself. So it’s a no deal & I will pass this info to Melissa later.
A large crowd @ Rotary today; the Johnstown District Governor, Mary, is with us & will be giving a talk after lunch. Mary is one excellent speaker; she looks you right in the eye with emotion & enthusiasm. She could sell an Eskimo a refrigerator in the winter time, she is that good.
Afterward, Kathy & I motor to Carrolltown & pick up our clean & polished Riviera from Mary K, and leave the Lexus with her to do the same good job.
@ 5:45 pm, our doorbell rings: it’s Jeff, another 1st cousin. He wants to talk about an idea he has been mulling around for days, maybe weeks or months. Anyway (2) hrs later, we feel that the subject matter has been thoroughly exhausted….@ least for now. It was most interesting & even mesmerizing @ times. We do hope that Jeff will be happy & maybe ecstatic with the career change he has in mind.
Dinner: leftover spaghetti, meat balls & Italian sausage. (same good meal as yesterday…due to late hrs.)
We watch recorded: Jeopardy, the O’Reilly Factor & the live coverage of Senator Biden vs. Gov. Palin in the vice Presidential debate.
Lights out: 11:40pm
