Awake: 6:26am Temp 7 sleep 6+14 mostly cloudy overnight @ Nicktown.
Something different for breakfast; Kathy made "hot Irish steel cut oats" to help us get warmed up.
Later, we decided to do some 1st cousin visiting; Bernie, in Kirsch town, has been in a powered wheelchair for about (4) yrs now. He looks good & has put on some lbs since we saw him last.
We spent a good 1 & ½ hrs talking with Bernie. He sometimes has trouble conversing & remembering & has nearly a constant pain in his legs, but he sure does not complain. We enjoyed seeing him again & will try & keep in touch.
Next, we visited 1st cousin Richard @ Haida Care Center in Hastings.
Richard has been in this care center for over (3) yrs. He is 87 yrs old & seems to have little wrong other than general weakness, esp. in his legs & difficulty with balance so he also uses a wheelchair.
Richard keeps up on the outside world as best he can; he has a terrific memory, very good hearing & vision, & a wonderful sense of humor. We will try to visit him more often as well.
Back in our motorhome, for the 1st time in my live, I watched an entire football game; "the Steelers vs. New York Jets." Wow! Kathy has been a sports fan all of her life...so anything I didn't understand, she had the answer.
Dinner: that special & most delicious Rubin Sandwich.
Late evening, we talked with Melissa. She, Kevin & the boys will be marching for the "Right for Life" in downtown D.C. tomorrow. We wished them well.
Later evening, we watched the movie: "Morocco" with Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, Adolphe Menjou, Francis McDonald, Eve Southern, etc. Dietrich is alluring and exotic in her first Hollywood film, as a cabaret singer (improbably stuck in Morocco) who must choose between wealthy Menjou and Foreign Legionnaire Cooper. 1930. Unless you are a fan of Cooper and or Dietrich, don't even think of watching this movie.
Lights out: 12:30am.
