Awake: 6:40am Temp 30’s sleep 6+20 more clouds than sun overnight @ Indiana, PA.
To fill the request of (2) phone calls from the Foote’s, Kathy goes grocery shopping @ the nearby Wal-Mart for (1.5) hrs. After she returns, another grocery order came thru & this time, we fill that order en route to the Foote Castle. Luckily we have (3) grocery stores along the way to the Castle, with Wal-Mart being just across the parking lot from our motel.
@ Wal-Mart, I bought myself a mask to wear & hopefully prevent others from catching my cold bug. This has been our 1st holiday reunion that nobody arrived really sick; Katrina thought that she would be….but it didn’t happen. Zack thought on several occasions that he was sick, but he doesn’t act it. So hi-hi oh silver, the masked man rides again; I think someone from Florida passed their bug my way & I don't like it! Plus it's tough wearing a mask all day; I volunteered to sit in a special out of the way corner & eat, drink water or blow my nose, etc.
When Andrew & Nathan came down stairs from their morning nap, they couldn’t take their big eyes off of me for the longest time & I was comfortable staring @ them.
Early dinner: Tacos with seasoned chicken & hamburger meat, plus all the other fixings that make tacos & a fresh fruit salad.
The healthy group voted for something different to do today: “Bowling.” @ 1st, I wasn’t going to attend….but when I saw the large building & the many lanes; I took my mask off & settled right in. We had (4) lanes total; (2) for the children with gutter guards & (2) regular for us adults. The kids were assisted by adults in bringing their balls to a moveable ramp at the fowl line; once the ball was set on the ramp, the youngster would give it a push &, with patience & tenacity, one could actually watch the slow ball knock the pins down. Our (2) hrs went fast & a good time was had by all.
Back @ the Castle, Melissa & Kevin shifted into 3rd gear to get the kids in bed & on time & without a shower; a rare incidence.
Jason, Billie Anne, Katrina & Kathy played a card game called: “Spoons” & they giggled a lot.
Later, I myself sat on the warm radiator without my mask & played a game of “Loaded Questions” with the spoon team + Melissa, Kevin, Eriko & Zack.
Lights out: 11:17pm
