Awake: 5:27am Temp 55 sleep 5+34 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
We cut our time short @ the KK club & started cleaning up the grass in our circular drive. Kathy spent over (2) hrs raking the tall grass & sometimes using the wheelbarrow to take a load to the forest. Kathy would stack up mounds of grass while I mowed the grass to a normal height. When she had a mound stacked, I would wheelbarrow the load into the woods as well. I must admit, we worked together & got the job done in time to change clothes & join Carol & Steve in the town of Colver for their Centennial.
After Carol introduced us to her daughter Lisa & Courtney, Lisa's daughter, Carol took Courtney & us for a walking tour around this retired Mining town of about (1035) people. I was impressed at how well these people keep their homes, roads, yards & town so clean & organized. Steve, who was born & raised in town, told me it's always been this way. On main street, there were many classic & antique cars to feast your eyes on. photos. They also had a family doctor for decades photo & (3) churches of which we attended the Catholic 4:00pm vigil Mass. Courtney volunteered to show her new eye glasses. Hotels & businesses are still keeping the town healthy. Here we see the fireworks area getting ready for tomorrow night's big boom. Photo. And this is one of the coal cars that was recently rejuvenated. Dinner @ Lisa's home: Sausage, pasta & homemade bread, with wine & cookies. All of this was a nice surprise for us as we had no idea what to expect. And tomorrow, another invitation...with fireworks; wow! We thanked Lisa, Carol & the rest of the gang & returned to our home on wheels. Then we had to hustle over to meet our friends at the Nicktown Bar. Evening movie: "Shoot the Moon" with Albert Finney, Diane Keaton, Karen Allen, Peter Weller, Dana Hill, etc. Highly charged, emotional drama about the breakup of a marriage. The insights and emotional touchstones of Bo Goldman's scrip...and superlative acting...help make up for strange gaps of logic and credibility. 1982. Use Google to find out more about this flick. Lights out: 12:17am.
