Awake: 6:09am     Temp 36    sleep 6+11    overcast---off & on rain    overnight @ Nicktown.

K & I visited the workers ...busy laying the Bamboo flooring in the basement. Bernie was @ home doing some paper work & will return later.

Late afternoon, we had a call from Denise & Mike; our dear friends from Alaska. They winter in Everglade City Florida & stay in Anchorage, Alaska during the summer.

As I understand it, they purchased a "Northern Lite" slide in camper en route in South Carolina & plan on 1st, seeing their Godson, Matthew, in Indiana, PA, & then us for overnight. Tomorrow they will continue their traveling to Michigan to spend time with family & friends over Easter & then continue to Anchorage, AK.

Just before noon, UPS delivered some Carbonized Strand-woven Bamboo "T" Molding for the threshold & stair-nose.

Then we gave them a tour of our house &, after that, motored to Spangler & enjoyed a fish fry dinner @ the Contres-Greer Social Hall.

Then we said our goodbyes to D & J as we were expecting to hear from Mike & Denise this evening. Around 8ish, onto our circular drive came this odd shaped truck with camper. Yes, it was Denise & Mike. After getting Mike's camper plugged in, we updated each other for a good hr in our M.H., & then we suggested a visit to the Nicktown Bar for a Black & Tan beer... & more gab time. About 10:30pm, Mike was showing signs of his long day & so they said their goodnight's & went to their camper.

We too, went to our camper & finished watching the movie: "Gallipoli" with Mark Lee, Mel Gibson, Bill Kerr, Robert Grub, David Argue, & Tim McKenzie. Youthful idealists Lee and Gibson enlist in the military, meet their fate in title WW1 battle. Engrossing human drama with meticulous direction, striking feel for period detail. Final freeze-frame shot is reminiscent of Robert Capa's classic Spanish Civil War Photo of soldier at the moment of death. 1981. Getting accustomed to the British dialect was a challenge for us....as it took (3) different evenings to watch it all. A stupid & ridiculous war; you won't believe it but it's definitely true. Lights out:12:36am.
