Awake: 8:12am Temp 48 sleep 7+10 sunny overnight @ Lodi, CA.
K & I did more campground hunting this morning, using our camping books, computer & cell phone. We have (2) options, neither of which are convenient for our plans.
When we visited Ed, Mary Jo & Matt this afternoon, we found both Matt & Ed comfortably watching football on their big flat screen. As the game ended, I asked Ed if he would like to do some woodworking in the garage. He sprang into action, cleared an area in the garage, got his dusty Shop smith ready to cut & before I could say "thanks," he was finished.
My wooden homemade portable water filter unit has been falling apart, & one of the legs is nearly rotted. The other day I found a good 2 X 4, so I took measurements to rebuild the faulty leg; now I can do the rest later.
Mid afternoon, the (3) of us took a walk for exercise & fresh air on the Levee behind their home. Their levee is reasonably active with runners, bikers, walkers, etc. We walked about (30) min.
Late afternoon, Ed got his photo equipment ready for more home movies tonight...until, he discovered his old system has a problem & does not work. I, for one, was disappointed.
Mary Jo's dinner: oven baked Parmesan crusted chicken breasts with green beans & pasta Alfredo; very tasty.
We didn't stay late tonight due to both Mary Jo & Ed having to work tomorrow....but we will gather again on Tuesday.
Evening movie: "The French Lieutenant's Woman" with Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons, Leo McKern, Hilton McRae, Emily Morgan, etc. A scandalous romance between a gentleman and a tainted woman in Victorian England is contrasted with a contemporary affair between the actor & actress who are playing those roles in a movie. The juxtaposition is jarring at first, but becomes more engaging as the film progresses. 1981. Yes, it was confusing @ 1st, but it was most interesting & entertaining; the story does not necessarily end the same in truth & fiction.
Lights out: 11:57pm.
