Awake: 6:57am      Temp 42      sleep 6+52      sunny      overnight @ Englewood, CO.

 K & I had a small breakfast this morning because we are going to have lunch with Marie @ Marie Callender's Restaurant & Bakery. Before we left though, we wrote Easter cards to our grandsons.

Marie, age 84, is as they say, looking good...for her age. We 1st met her in Alaska quite a few yrs ago. She is Jackie's aunt; Jackie & her husband, Ben, are our good friends who now split their living time between Alaska & Florida.

Last yr, we toured Florida quite extensively & met up with Jackie & Ben...& Jackie's aunt Marie. We told Marie that if we should get to Denver, we'd look her up.... & thus, we have done so.

Marie still drives, handles herself well, makes good conversation, & has a nice sense of humor. Her son, Phil, lives with her & it is a win-win situation for them. Marie did share with us that she will have a knee replacement this summer, but only after a rendezvous with Ben & Jackie in Seattle & a trip to Canada.

K & I shared a meat loaf sandwich & a cherry pie ala mode. We talked & ate for a good 1.5 hrs, & then said our goodbyes for now.

From here, we drove across town in Littleton to do our Wal-Mart shopping; things that most grocery stores charge a little more for than we like.

After that, we mailed our Easter cards & our tax return. After storing our goods in the motorhome, K & I took a photo of each other under the new "Flying Saucer RV Park" sign.

Dinner: leftovers: a combination of sausage stoop, crab/ corn stoop & broccoli & mandarin oranges for dessert..

Evening movie: "The Bedford Incident" with Richard Widmark, Sidney Poitier, James MacArthur, Martin Balsam, Wally Cox, Eric Portman, Donald Sutherland. Strong Cold War story of authoritarian Navy captain (Widmark) scouting Russian subs near Greenland and the mental conflicts that develop on his ship. Poitier is reporter too good to be true, Balsam a sympathetic doctor disliked by Widmark. Cast excels in intriguing barrel of wits. 1965. Great story; so good, Kathy watched 98%.

Lights out: 12:46am.
