Awake: 7:22am Temp 65 sleep 7+43 mostly sunny overnight @ Fort Lauderdale, FL.
K & I attend 8:30am Mass @ Saint Jerome Catholic Church (3) miles from our campground. After Mass, an announcement was made that breakfast was being served in the church hall; Kathy liked this idea & I agreed. Monsignor Kenneth Schwanger who celebrated the Mass we attended, sat @ our table & chatted with us until he had to leave to celebrate the 10:00 Mass; he was born & raised in Philidelphia, PA. We enjoyed talking with the Monsignor & we feel certain that he truly runs a fine tuned school & parish; in fact he received the 2009 "Distinguished Pastor of theYear"award from NCEA.
Back @ our motorhome, I call & talk with Susan & Elton, also wintering in Florida. We make plans for a rendezvous on Monday.
Next, we shop for groceries @ Costco in the town of Davie; a mere (6) miles. Back in our home-on-wheels, Kathy organizes our food stash & then we walk the marina boardwalk for a good (40) min of exercise.
Dinner: leftover beef stew & whole grain wheat bread.
After watching Huckabee, we watch the movie: "The Lost Patrol" with Victor McLaglen, Boris Karloff, Wallace Ford, etc. McLaglen's small British military group lost in Mesopotamian desert, as Arabs repeatedly attack the dwindling unit. Classic actioner filled with slice-of-life stereotypes, headed by religious fanatic Karloff. 1934. In retrospect, Although Karloff was rightly touted for his portrayal of a religious fanatic, I should have passed on this sluggish & of little action story; Kathy gave it thumbs down from the beginning.
Since "The Lost Patrol" movie was so short, we continue our movie time with: "The White House: Behind Closed Doors." This look at various rooms in the White House narrated by Laura Bush with historical perspectives was most interesting for both of us.
Lights out: 12:33am
