Awake: 6:19am Temp 51 sleep 6+00 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Kathy was my 1st caller this morning & wished me a "Happy Birthday." She is quickly absorbing the pattern of living @ the Foote Castle & is happy to be helpful to the Foote family.
Next, @ the Koffee Klub, the present members sang the birthday song, & then presented a signed birthday card from everyone; then some homemade goodies from both Donna K & Bonnie Lou. This has been the custom for yrs @ our Klub & I think it's a personal & likeable gesture. I used to be very shy about celebrating my birthday....but these guys are so genuine , thoughtful & casual, I'm ok with it now.
As we were leaving from our mid morning social hour, Lydia gave me an electronic game to repair....in my spare time.
After my breakfast, I motored to Spangler & picked up # 4 halogen bulb; then took the time to wire the bulb into the system @ the Fatima Shrine. During my time there, Gary & Grace from Landenberg, PA called with "Birthday Wishes."
@ some stage in my wiring up the light, Father Job came by & not only wished me a "Happy Birthday" but wished me a H.B. from Fr. John Paul, living in Africa. "How did he know it was my birthday" I asked. Father reminded me that Father John Paul's birthday is also today..... & I had forgotten that.
Later evening; Katrina called with her "Birthday Wishes" while stuck in rush-hr traffic in Denver. We yakked for close to an hr.
Sometime during the evening, Melissa called with "Birthday Wishes." She was very busy & couldn't talk long.
Zack called from his rental house @ Queen Anne hill with "Birthday Wishes." We talked for about an hr.
Nick called after Zack hung up & had "Happy Birthday" wishes as well. We also gabbed for nearly an hr.
Not to forget: my brother & his wife Josie sent a H.B. card; my sisters Mary Jo & Corinne & niece Jen sent a delightful signed & messaged H.B. card from Lodi, CA.
Bob & Mary Ann Brenner Skyped a H.B. message from Memphis, TN.
Dinner: leftover Lasagna, leftover fried noodles, fresh mixed salad & cantaloupe.
I finished watching: "The Gold Rush" with Charlie Chaplin, Georgia Hale, Mack Swain, & Tom Murray. Immortal Chaplin classic, pitting Little Tramp against Yukon, affections of dance-hall girl, whims of a burly prospector. Dance of the rolls, eating leather shoe, cabin tottering over cliff...all highlights of wonderful, timeless comedy. 1925. These silent Little Tramp movies are creative & most amusing.
Lights out: 12:16am
