Awake: 7:10am Temp 50 sleep 7+40 sunny overnight @ East Memphis, TN.
K & I attend 9:00am Mass @ Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Germantown, TN. We were about (15) min early but the church was already packed full; we were able to find a space only because a lady was saving a space for her friend who didn't show up. Among the regular church goers, there were also the people they refer to as "submarine Catholics," they only surface twice a year: Christmas & Easter.
Afterwards, we were invited to have dinner @ Mary Ann & Bob's place with their daughter, Regina, husband Scott & their children Tyler & Hailey. When we arrived @ 12:40pm, the dining table was set up, the wine glasses in place & food ready to be served: tasty slices of ham, green bean casserole, oven baked potatoes, Italian bread + frozen Jello salad. For dessert: Chocolate cake with ice cream. Yummiest!
After this scrumptious meal, we had some more gab time & Tyler sat on my lap & entertained me with his hand-held computer game playing. Slowly & methodically, Regina & Scott change their clothes, then their children's clothes & prepared to leave for their home in Nashville, TN., a 2.5 hr drive.
While Kathy & Mary Ann cleaned up the dishes, Bob & I took to the living room & tuned in the Masters Golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia. The ladies joined us when they were finished.
The golf match got more exciting with a (3) way sudden death playoff which Angel Cabrera of Argentina won on the second playoff hole.
Evening movie: "The Man in the White Suit" with Alec Ginness, Joan Greenwood, Cecil Parker, Michael Gough, Emest Thesiger, etc. Guinness is inventor who discovers a fabric that can't wear our or soil; dismayed garment manufactures set out to bury his formula; most engaging comedy. 1951.
Kathy was in bed with her crossword book when I went to shut off our computer when suddenly Nick Skyped us. I called Kathy & we had (50) min of good updating with mostly Nick on line while Eriko & Jerry took their baths. Both video & audio were breaking up so we kept video & switched to cell phone with split ear buds.
Lights out: 12:07pm
