Awake: 6:52am Temp 65 sleep 6+47 cloudy...late afternoon rain overnight @ Nicktown.
Today is the St. Augustine church picnic & I've been threatened by my
buddy Gary C.; recently he has made the statement that if we don't
patronize their church picnic, they won't come to our church picnic in
Nicktown. Hmm, he kind of has me over a barrel unless I have a genuine
good excuse...which I could probably fabricate....but I won't do that....so
K & I will go to their picnic today.
We arrived in St. Augustine about 12:30 pm to a line of people that
stretched out at least (200) ft plus. From yrs past, we know this line
moves @ a snail's pace; my buddy Barry, who I spotted in this long line,
told us he had been waiting close to an hr already.
We passed on getting in line & entered thru the back door of the dining
room to visit Rosemary & Gary who were working inside. After a good chat
& letting them witness our smiling faces, we ordered (2) chicken & noodle
dinner take-outs for our meal tonight.
En route to Nicktown, we made a side trip & a quick tour of the Prince
Gallitzin Campground...in the event we might want to bring our motorhome
over here some time.
Back @ our motorhome, Kathy did (2.5) loads of laundry.
My brother called; he has returned from his annual visit with his
buddies; also included in this trip was another visit with his & Josie's
daughters & their families; total distance: (1700) miles. He reported having
a great time. Keep in mind, he is 50% retired; what's my brother going to do
when he's fully retired?
Dinner: Chicken noodle with mashed potatoes, bun, & cupcake.
Evening movie: "Sullivan's Travels" with Joel McCrea, Veronica Lake,
Robert Warwick, William Demarest, etc. Tired of making fluff, movie
director McCrea decides to do a "serious" film; to research it, he sets
out with ten cents in his pocket to experience life in "the real world."
1942. Sullivan tried his best ....but this good idea slowly went awry due to
the distraction of a beautiful lady.
Lights out: 12:14am
