Awake: 7:00am Temp 63 sleep 7+18 early morning rain Overnight @ Nicktown.
After breakfast, K & I motored to Barnesboro; then using the Suzuki, Kathy returned a library book while I picked up the Toyota Mini van from Annette @ Al's Tire Service. Then we both motored to the Foote Castle & spent the early part of the afternoon playing with the Foote boys.
First Kathy was invited to the 3rd floor to see Matthew's new creations, including a motorized tram that actually worked & the Brio "Metro." While Kathy was upstairs, Nathan & I spent some time making different configurations with the magnet set.
Then I was invited to see the new Brio train track that Matthew recently devised. It was modeled after the DC Metro which they had recently ridden on. I was quite impressed with the layout which allowed for overhead traffic as well as underneath traffic thru tunnels.
Then Nathan pulled Kathy into the first floor playroom, chose a book, & Kathy began reading to him; it wasn't long before Andrew & then Matthew joined in listening to the story.
Meanwhile, Melissa had a time scheduled for grocery shopping @ Giant Eagle with the boys; perfect I thought, I needed to visit the Culligan water treatment experts while in Indiana so that freed me up to do just that.
As the gang got their act together for grocery shopping, I motored to the Culligan experts & talked with Brad about the iron in our well & what to do about it. He showed me several state-of-the art water filters that have proven records for filtering out the iron. I told him I would keep that in mind.
When I returned, I found Kathy & Nathan coming up the alley with a full wagon of goodies; the rest of them were not far behind.
The next hr was spent in the back yard, mainly watching the boys play together; all was fine until...Melissa started to have the boys bring Kathy & me each an ice cream cone...then things got even better.
When Kevin returned from his work, he & I talked about his repaired muffler & tailpipe + having the inspection completed on the Toyota.
Not long after that, Melissa & Matthew changed into their bike outfits, said their goodbyes & peddled across town to attend the 5:30pm Mass. It was also time for us to leave as we had some Wal-Mart shopping to do, so we said our goodbyes for now & motored on.
Dinner: Italian sausage with peppers, onions, mushrooms & a mixed salad.
Lights out: 12:17am.
