Awake: 6:43am Temp 50 sleep 6+35 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
The Bassett Masonry team started working @ 7:00am sharp. Kathy & I went outside to take a stroll around the basement before motoring to Spangler to meet up with Karen & Steve for breakfast. We were happy to see good weather for their ongoing trip to Philidelphia today & for the Bassett team to finish our poured walls.
After a small breakfast @ Roland's with lots of fast talk, we said our goodbyes & bon voyage to Steve & Karen. Then we motored back to Nicktown & checked the workers' progress for the morning.
After that quick check on progress, we called Greg in Cranberry Township & paid ½ of the overall cost for the appliances that Kathy selected.
A little later, Melissa & the boys honored us with a visit mid afternoon. We told them to bring their shovels, rakes & buckets because we have a large hole in one of our topsoil mountains & maybe they could fill it in. It didn't work however, Nathan & Gregory were content to play garden @ the bottom of the big topsoil hill,
& Andrew & Matthew busied themselves making a downhill slide on the other topsoil mountain. Both were OK with me.
Next, before leaving, we all celebrated Matthew's Feast Day, by singing & eating cupcakes with sprinkles that Kathy made for the occasion.
They had to leave earlier than usual so that Melissa could get home in time for her "by phone" Book Club.
Late afternoon, K & I walked to church to attend 6:00pm Mass.
Dinner: leftover stuffed pepper, asparagus, 4-bean salad, fresh tomatoes, & olives.
Lights out: 11:32pm.
