Awake: 5:55am Temp 19 sleep 5+51 snow flurries-off & on overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK meeting & breakfast, I had some extra time this morning so I got my booties out (the booties that I've been wearing over my tennis shoes so far this winter) & added a strip of Duck Tape to cover a few wearing spots.
Then I walked over to the house & checked on yesterday's progress without the workers being there. On my way back, I nearly fell several times due to the slick Duck Tape I had on my booties. So, I thought....maybe some Dental Floss on the bottom of my boot would add some traction & help prevent another spill. 1st I used a quick drying glue on the right bootie.....
& then a longer curing time epoxy glue on the left bootie.
All of our winter boots are in storage & we don't want to buy new merchandise...so this will be a test.
Tonight K & I have been invited to a special birthday party along with members of our KK; this event has been kept a secret & all of us plan to rendezvous @ the Saint Nicholas Hotel...basement party room @ 6:00pm.
K & I usually attend 6:00pm vigil Mass on Saturday to have Sunday free; but on this day we motored to Barnesboro & attended the 4:00pm vigil Mass at Prince of Peace.
The honorable birthday guy had no clue that some (35) Nicktowners were patiently waiting in the basement for his arrival. Meanwhile, his wife & daughters had told Mr. Birthday guy earlier that they wanted to go to the Nicktown Bar & have some pizza & beer tonight.
After taking their seats upstairs, receiving menus & ordering beer, the owner of the hotel asked Birthday Guy if he had ever seen the downstairs area. Since he had not, the owner invited him to follow him & check it out.
When Birthday Guy arrived downstairs, he saw several Nicktowners in the room who appeared to be having a party & he was a little miffed, wondering why he had not been invited.
After a little nudging, Birthday Guy went into the room & was greeted with shouts of, "Surprise!" & the singing of Happy Birthday. Pitchers of beer, soft drinks, salads & several different pizzas were brought in by the restaurant staff to "water" & feed the crowd.
What would a birthday party be without cake? Not to worry, slices of homemade cake were served after everyone had their fill of pizza. A good time was had by all!
Evening movie: "Operation Crossbow" with George Peppard, Sophia Loren, Trevor Howard, Tom Courtenay, Jeremy Kemp, Anthony Quayle, John Mills, etc. Fine "impossible mission" tale of small band of commandos out to destroy Nazi secret missile stronghold during WW2. Sensational ending and the pyrotechnics are dazzling. 1965. Great adventure story. We were most impressed with the attention to detail of the German laboratory & their massive fire power scenes & the true story of a woman who flew, tested & discovered the glitch of the unmanned flying bomb after the failure of (6) tries from men without success.
Lights out: 12:36am.
