Awake: 7:02am Temp 50 sleep 5+58 partly cloudy overnight @ Pahokee, FL.
Kathy attends 8:00am Mass @ Saint Mary's Church in Pahokee; about (2) miles from our campsite. I stay in our motorhome & prep for shrinking the bus within the hr. The so called "Park Model" unit next to us is scheduled to be spray painted today & with a slight wind blowing off the lake, I'll take no chances of some stray spray repainting our home.
"8:00am Mass was over in (18) minutes," says Kathy as she enters the coach & "(9) people attended." Fr. John Mericantante,III, from MA originally, has been at this parish for 16 years and is fluent in Spanish, having been in the missions in Chile for several years. Fluency in Spanish is necessary since Spanish speaking people make up most of the congregation. He is a very pleasant guy with a ready smile & laugh. I didn't expect Kathy to be here early so we have time to have a quick breakfast before the painters show up.
@ 9:30am I back our coach out & thru the turn circle; then park partly on the campground road & partly on the grass, allowing single vehicle traffic. Kathy kept herself busy reading a novel & I continued playing catch up on my magazines throughout most of the morning; some computer usage early afternoon.
@ 1:45pm, the main painter man signaled us to return to our campsite. They are finished spray painting but have some brush painting yet to do.
With very little wind today, we were comfortable that none of their compressor spray painting attached to our coach.
K & I got LOST for an hour! Actually, we walked on the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail. The trail itself is located atop the Herbert Hoover Dike, which surrounds the lake for flood protection, and provides views ranging from scenic lakeside to backyards to working agricultural landscapes. Waterfowl, herons, & egrets are abundant along the 110 mile trail. Obviously, we only covered a couple miles of the LOST.
Dinner: Bass fish, asparagus, brown rice & a spinach salad with fresh strawberries.
Before, during & after dinner, we watch our scheduled TV programs; then finish watching: "The Loved One" with Robert Morse, Jonathan Winters, Anjanette Comer, Rod Steiger, Dana Andrews, Milton Berle, James Coburn, John Gielgud, Tab Hunter, Margaret Leighton, Liberace, etc. Correctly advertised as the picture with something to offend everyone; often howlingly funny & equally gross. Once seen, Mrs. Joyboy can never be forgotten. 1965. What a cast to behold! Caution, they are not kidding about something to offend everyone. Kathy doesn't even want to think about it!
Lights out: 11:35pm
