Awake: 6:25am Temp 36 sleep 6+42 sunny overnight @ Bushnell, FL.
Shortly after our “Hot Coffee,” this morning, K & I get right with organizing our winter clothes & finish packing the suitcases with other items. It’s that time of the yr again; our rendezvous with our kids/grandkids @ the Foote home in Indiana, PA for the holidays. Last yr we flew from Las Vegas; this yr we are driving from Florida.
After loading most of the items in our Suzuki for now, we set the barbershop up outside in the sun & give each other a haircut. Kathy gives me the usual scare tactic talk beforehand: now this side needs to be thinned out; the other side shortened; do something with the top….blab, blab & blab. The end result: she complimented me on another good haircut…..# 23.
Then we drive to Saint Lawrence Catholic Church for the 4:00pm vigil Mass; afterward, we top off our Suzuki fuel tank with 10.4 gal @ $1.52 per gal @ Wal-Mart.
Back @ our home on wheels, Kathy calls her good friend Marge in Grand Junction, CO & they talk for (58) min.
Dinner: a combination of (4) different meals….all leftovers & a fresh salad.
No movie tonight; instead we watch the history channel comparing the 1929 stock market crash to the 2008 economic crisis…what led up to both; what solutions were tried or not & what solutions are being proposed today; & the outcome & length of time it took to fully recover from that first dramatic crash along with musings & projections of how this crisis is/might be handled & the ramifications for the future.
Lights out: 11:30pm
