Awake: 6:45am Temp 67 sleep 6+32 partly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Today Nicktown is having a picnic & Classic car show. Our good friends, Gary & Rosemary, joined us for the occasion as well as the Foote family + Katrina. G & R arrived about 11:45am; Gary is the rightful owner of the Motor-Generator & wanted to load it into his truck before walking to the picnic. He is very happy to have his generator working again & so am I.
Gary & I walk to the community center where the Classic cars, tents & pavilion are located. When we arrive, I introduced local people to Gary that he might know just by having heard their name mentioned from us. Kathy & Rosemary joined us about 1.5 hrs later.
We casually waited for the Foote family & Katrina to arrive ....so we mingled amongst the scattered crowd, introducing G & R to a few more people. From right to left: Joyce, Flossie, Kathy, Rosemary & Gary.
The line for a chicken dinner was fairly long & somewhat slow moving. In time, we agreed to merely have hamburgers in lieu of a meal but still: no Foote family or Katrina yet!
Finally Kathy couldn't take the hunger strike any longer & ordered a hamburger... of course, I had to follow. The Footes & Katrina arrived around 3:20pm...they were simply enjoying their friends & donuts after Mass.....& then relishing the family walk back to their home. @ the picnic, the boys enjoyed hot dogs.....
....and Ice cream
you gotta eat the ice cream fast; the sun is your competitor
Then the battle of the water jug begins;
Matthew was a serious fireman battling against a sweet......
& lovely firegirl;
our serious fireman won.
but it was nearly a washout
And I forgot all about touring the classic cars until it was too late; from a distance though, there appeared to be a comfortable amount of interest that kept the crowd looking.
All in all, we enjoyed the day very much. The Footes left around 5:15pm.
Back in our motorhome, we finished the movie: "Life with Father" with William Powell, Irene Dunne, Elizabeth Taylor, Edmund Gwenn, ZaSu Pitts, Jimmy Lydon, etc. Rich adaptation of long-running Broadway play (by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse) based on Clarence Day's story of growing up in turn-of-century N.Y.C. with his loving but eccentric father. Utterly delightful, and a handsome production as well. 1947. They said it best; you'll enjoy it too.
Lights out: 11:53pm.
