Awake: 6:52am Temp 52 sleep 6+02 partly sunny overnight @ Miami, OK.
Rain is forecasted today & it looks like it might happen; so if I am going to clean up our motorhome before Monday, I'd better take action.
Just before 10:00 am I got the washing equipment needed from the basement & got started. I told Kathy I'd like to do this myself & she agreed with that idea because she planned on cleaning the inside, vacuuming, washing the floors, etc. while I cleaned the outside.
My new squeegee was a real time saver; it works well to avoid getting water spots. Always, in the past, we would wipe the washed areas dry with micro fiber rags & towels, which took extra time + climbing the ladder to get the high areas. I didn't clean the roof but just about every thing else was done & dry in 2.5 hrs, why even my boss said: "It looks good!" About (2) hrs later, heavy rain & strong winds moved in.
K & I attended 5:00pm Mass @ Sacred Heart Catholic Church just down the road where Fr. Carl has replaced Fr. Gregg upon his retirement. Fr. Gregg is now assisting in Bartlesville, OK.
After Mass, we planned to finish our Anniversary celebration by going out for a dinner meal @ Montana Mikes Steak House further down the road. Along the way, as we sat in traffic @ a red light, Kathy spotted a new restaurant in town: "Stonehill Grill" & noted that the parking lot was filled to the gills. Kathy suggested that, at least, we should look @ their menu. The menu looked fine so we put our name on the waiting list. Kathy asked a lady also waiting for a table if she had eaten here before; "Oh yea, & it sure beats Montana Mikes. Mikes has been going downhill lately" she said.
Dinner @ Stonehill Grill: we share an 8-oz filet with (2) big loaded baked potatoes & a mixed salad. It was very good. We usually complain about having to stop for red lights, but not this time!
Later in the evening, the earlier storm swung around & barked at us again with more rain & winds, thunder & lighting.
Evening movie: "Elmer Gantry" with Burt Lancaster, Jean Simmons, Dean Jagger, Arthur Kennedy, Shirley Jones, Patti Page, Edward Andrews, etc. Lancaster gives a vibrant Oscar-winning performance as the salesman with the gift of gab who joins evangelist Simmons' barnstorming troupe in the 1920s Midwest. 1960. Fantastic story! Don't miss it.
Lights out: 11:46pm
