Awake: 6:02am
Temp 24 sleep 6+05 sunny
overnight @ Nicktown.
We cut our KK meeting short this morning &
visited the church hall to peruse the book sale & mini community sale
activity. Kathy found a couple books of interest that she purchased but,
otherwise, even though there were plenty of nice things, I saw nothing that I
couldn't do without.
Next, I gave John another tour of our geothermal system
& the rest of our basement + the main floor. I still need to get more schooling on this high tech geothermal.
Back in our M.H., we Skyped
with Nick & family + a cousin of Eriko:Yuri, who is visiting from Nagoya for a few weeks. During our talk
time on Skype, we learned a little more about the earthquake in Japan. Japan usually has so many small earthquakes
that it is somewhat of a routine over there. Our usual Skype time is over an hr, & most
of the time, that hr goes fairly fast. But today we questioned Nick, Eriko, &
Yuri more about the situation in Japan. They indicated that Nagoya, where Eriko's family &
relatives live, was about (170) miles away from the Tsunami.
Then my brother
Don called & we updated each other on his tax season activities & our
home building progress. Then my Sister Mary Jo from CA called & we also
updated each other on the latest news we can use; Jenny, their daughter, will
be joining us @ the wedding of Katie & Zack in Chicago this summer. She & we are
happy to know this.
Next, my other sister, Corinne honored us with a call. We
also exchanged our latest activity with each other. She continues to enjoy her
new residence & job in Pittsburgh. She also plans to visit us during Easter time.
In the meantime,
Kathy did (3) loads of laundry & I supplied the extra water necessary. Then
K & I attended the vigil Mass @ Nicktown & afterward, paid our respects
to the Nicktown bar. Our usual 4-some, Theresa, John, Kathy, & me, was
joined by a surprise number of our KK members at our BIG table. That was quite
a nice treat.
Back in our M.H., we finished the movie: "Deep Valley" with Ida Lupino, Dane Clark,
Wayne Morris, Fay Bainter, etc. Into Lupino's humdrum farm life comes a
gangster from a nearby prison camp; first-rate cast in excellent drama. 1947.
Lights out: 12:53am.
