K & I attended the
Upon entering the relatively large church, we saw only a
dozen or so people. Slowly, more adults quietly came in & sat in the pews.
Suddenly, (2) doors opened.....one on each side of the church & many school
children, from pre-school thru 8th grade, filled the pews.
A couple of students had been selected ahead of time to read
the scripture passages. We were most impressed with one young girl, possibly a
third grader, who spoke clearly & distinctly as she read...wait a minute, she
wasn't reading! She was looking right at the parishioners & had obviously memorized
the reading. Neither Kathy nor I had witnessed that before, especially from
such a young girl.
After breakfast, Kathy did (2) loads of laundry.
My brother called: he informed me that PA is going to
increase their new construction code costs by 5---10% in 2010. "That's not
good" I tell him.
My sister, Mary Jo, called. She heard that the Grapevine on
I-5 was closed last night due to snow & freezing rain & wanted to know
if that was going to cause trouble for us. I let her know that we are going to
be on Hwy-101 & should be ok.
We studied our campground books, used the computer & made
a few cell phone calls in prep for tomorrow's travel, checking suitable
campgrounds for our continued trip south on Hwy-101.
Dinner: Kathy's good chili with Tostitos.
Evening movie: "Moulin Rouge" with Jose Ferrer, Zsa Zsa
Gabor, Suzanne Flon, Dric Pohlmann, Colette Marchand, etc. Rich, colorful film
based on life of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the 19th century
Parisian artist whose growth was stunted by childhood accident. 1952. This
movie is based on a true story & we both highly recommend it.
Lights out:
