Awake: 6:50am Temp 60 sleep 7+06 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After breakfast, K & I motored to Indiana, PA. 1st stop, Tractor Supply Co., trying to find something that will be waterproof, made of steel & lockable for the transformer we are using to light up the Fatima Shrine; nothing came close.
Then we spent about (3) hrs with our grandsons @ the Foote Castle. We had a lot of fun today. As in the past, we blew up small balloons using a 12 volt battery charger & a small powered air pump giving a choice to keep, fly, or whistle the balloons. Next we made (4) paper airplanes & flew them inside, & then a paper parachute that gradually floated down from the ceiling. The boys were certainly interested.
For a break in the air business, we gathered on the 3rd floor & helped Melissa reorganize their playroom...which it needed.
At times, both Andrew & Nathan were doing their own thing...Nathan putting wooden puzzles together & playing with the large magnets while Andrew was building with the small, powerful magnets, constructing an arched tunnel.
We left about 4:00pm & briefly visited the Trader Horne store looking for a metal box; not found. Then grocery shopped @ Wal-Mart & returned to Nicktown.
K & I attended 6:00pm Mass & afterwards, enjoyed some good company & beer with Theresa & John @ the Nicktown Hotel.
Dinner: leftover Italian sausage with peppers, onions & mushrooms.
Mid evening: we watched & listened to Pres Obama's address to Congress on his Nat'l Health Care plans.
Lights out: 12:05am.
