Awake: 6:30am Temp 61 sleep 6+29 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
A casual day for us; we took turns reading the book: "Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity" & in between time, Kathy labeled more of our slides from our Nomad travels. Later, using epoxy, I repaired a wooden puzzle & a mini Matchbox truck for the Foote boys; plus (2) corn holders in prep for summer ears of corn.
Dinner: pork chops, brown rice & orzo with golden raisins, cauliflower, spinach salad, & apple sauce.
Before cleaning up the dishes, K & I took a walk around town where we met & talked with Jim on St. Joseph St. We continued on & got invited to join the elite....self appointed Mayor of Nicktown, Dave, who was enjoying the lovely evening on his front porch. His wife, Marge, who recently had major back surgery, joined us. She looks great & says she is feeling pretty good. We were also joined by their daughter, Jill & their son, Brian & his friend, Mabel, who are visiting from Altoona.
I've always envied this porch location of the Mayor where one can nonchalantly sit & watch the main activities in town: the Community Center, kindergarten/elementary school, Post Office, St. Nicholas Church, (2) main traffic hwy's, the Nicktown Hotel, etc. When Dave is out on his porch, he doesn't miss a thing. We chatted for a good (45) min & enjoyed the opportunity for this informal visit & also meeting Brian & Mabel.
As we continued south on the main road, John passed in his car, turned around & parked. We gabbed with him for awhile & then meandered back to our coach for the night; a perfect evening for a walk around the town. Not much exercise, but great socializing.
Evening movie: "Wife, Husband and Friend" with Loretta Young, Warner Baxter, Binnie Barnes, George Barbier, etc. Entertaining comedy about aspiring singer Young whose husband Baxter tries to show her up. 1939. Suitable entertainment to end a casual day.
Lights out: 12:07am
