Kathy makes a sourdough pancake breakfast complete with all the trimmings.
Call my brother Don & leave a message.
Call an RV park in New Orleans, LA & make a reservation for tomorrow.
My sister Corinne calls from Lilly, PA. As she speaks, she is watching little white flakes fall to the ground. She updates us on her many activities & plans.
Later, Nick Skypes us from Seattle; we talk & see his family for a good (40) min.
Mid afternoon, Big John, the campground manager, pays us a visit; he shows us his Alaska watch filled with small gold nuggets & his fancy Jade with gold ring. He knew he had them & warned us in advance that he would “show & tell.” John is a very astute & personable fellow; we would do well in our world if there were more people like John.
Late afternoon, K & I take our campground (30) min walk for exercise.
I give Barry a cell phone call; they are nearing their destination in Florida but still on I-95. Bonnie talks about the good friend in Florida she has & hasn’t seen since the fifties.
Dinner: Italian sausage, peppers,& onion stoop.
Evening movie on bedroom TV: “Operation Petty Coat” with Cary Grant, Tony Curtis, Dina Merrill, Gene Evans, etc. Hilarious comedy about submarine captain Grant who’s determined to make his injured ship seaworthy again & con artist Curtis who wheels & deals to reach that goal. Some truly memorable gags; Grant & Curtis are a dynamite team in this happy film. 1959. I couldn’t have said it better myself; we really enjoyed this movie.
Lights out: 11:40pm
