Awake: 7:40am Temp 42 sleep 7+14 sunny overnight @ Santa Nella, CA.
1st day in a long time, we had no plans to do things either inside or outside our motorhome, but we did find things to do.
Sometime during the mid 90's when I was in Brisbane, Australia & on a layover doing some window shopping, I saw & purchased a Franklin "Crosswords Puzzle solver" for Kathy's birthday. She used it infrequently for yrs; but lately, she's been using it more often & now, the battery has run down. Fortunately I had a new battery in my drawer to bring the unit back to life. This was the 1st battery change since the purchase.
Our overhead slide room lights have been failing off & on....no pun intended; it wasn't easy but I did get them working....for a few hrs ... & then, not!
Meanwhile, Kathy cleaned & vacuumed the inside of our coach while I began another re-organizing plan for our lower bay storage.
Mid afternoon, K & I took a (20) min walk for exercise, fresh air & curiosity around the campground & nearby homes.
Dinner: pork chops, fried noodles, rice with golden raisins, sautéed apples & onions & a mixed salad.
Evening movie: "My Sister Eileen" with Betty Garrett, Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon, Kurt Kasznar, etc. Delightful, unpretentious musical version of 1942 movie about Ohio girls seeking success in the big city, moving into nutty Greenwich Village apartment. Especially interesting to see young Lemmon singing and equally young Fosse dancing; this was the first film he choreographed on his own. 1955. My advice: unless you love musicals, stay far away from this movie.
Lights out: 12:25am.
