Awake: 6:30am Temp 61 sleep 6+35 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Our forwarded mail arrived this morning but we have no time to go through it today.
We motored to the Foote Castle & spent (2.5) hrs mostly with the boys; I was a gofer for Matthew as he built several different electrical circuits with his Snap Circuit kit. Then I spent time with Andrew on the 3rd floor more or less watching him build creative vehicles using small logos.
Kathy spent most of her time with Nathan, reading & building with his magnets. She also got to hold Gregory for a short time & remarked how strong he his, holding his head erect & looking around.
We enjoyed our time with the boys which went too quickly & then said our goodbyes for now & returned to Nicktown.
After a change of clothes, we motored to the town of Hastings, a (30) min drive, & attended the vigil Mass for 1st cousin, Ruth, & husband, Ed's 50th wedding Anniversary. Afterward, over (200) people...many related, joined in celebrating this event in the basement of the church with dinner: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, ham, string beans, stuffing, apple sauce & cranberry sauce & wedding Anniversary cake for dessert (all made by R & E's children & grandchildren) It was an excellent home made meal.
We met many cousins that I haven't seen in over (40) yrs. I asked Ruth & Ed if they knew all of these people present; "you bet we do & we could have invited more" they told me.
Lights out: 12:27am.
