Awake: 6:49am Temp 65 sleep 7+01 fog, then sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Today all of our West coast family + Katrina & Mary Jo are leaving us. A sad day for us parents!
So after breakfast, my bro Don brought Mary Jo to Nicktown & dropped her off @ our place @ 8:20am. Then we took her to Indiana, Pa with us & she will ride with Zack, Katie & Katrina in one car of the caravan; Nick, Eriko/Momoko & Jerry in the other car. Don & Josie are also traveling today & to help them leave a little early, we volunteered to take Mary Jo. Time was of the essence when we arrived @ the Foote Castle; some suitcases were packed, others still being packed. It wasn't long before we started saying our goodbyes & thank you for all the GREAT SURPRISES they brought along with them, especially themselves...& for others manufactured here in PA. We watched them pull out toward the driveway & slowly disappear down the street. After the caravan left, K & I spent about (45) min with the Foote boys, then we had some shopping to do @ Wal-Mart & returned home.
Back on our property, I shut the power off going to the high water alarm switch down on our septic system. This past week, I've noticed that the auto alarm was not sounding off when dumping our gray water. The same thing happened a few yrs ago & I fixed it by opening the electrical box & using Ant, & Roach spray to rid those creatures, & then, I made sure all the wiring had solid & tight connections. I guess I'll have to put that on a semi-yearly clean-up program.
Melissa called us mid afternoon; she had found a charger that was left plugged in upstairs in Katie's room. She wanted Zack's address so she could send it back to Seattle ASAP.
Gary & Rosemary called us mid afternoon; they wanted to know if all of the gang got to the Pittsburgh airport ok. "We thought they had" we told them; "even Mary Jo."
Dinner: Salmon, rice with golden raisins, mixed salad & a PA peach.
Lights out: 11:25mp.
