Awake: 4:40am Temp 67
sleep 5+55 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Tomorrow is Nicktown's
Annual Homecoming Picnic & today my job starts @ 8:30am.
For the past (4) yrs, I've been working with a crew
who puts up the tarp between the pavilion & the church hall. That's never
just all we would do; we help everyone who needs help. Well today, my boss...so
to speak, asked me to do something different. In lieu of climbing up & down
the ladder & untying knots, etc, Jim asked for help in his hamburger stand:
wash & clean the table covering all around the stand; bring in several
types of soda & water to fill the refrigerator; set up tables & chairs
in between the pavilion & the church hall; move benches outside so people
can sit down in lieu of standing in line so long.....etc, etc.
Mostly I worked
with Ted, a cousin & a fine individual I might add. Around noon time, Jim made some very good hamburgers
with peppers & onions & we got to eat 1st. That was my work
for the day.
Kathy started her job @ 9:30am
& was working inside the church hall as a "dipper." After dipping the
partially cooked chicken in melted butter & oil, she & her partner seasoned
the chicken breasts, legs, & thighs with salt, pepper & paprika before
their final cooking. Actually all that chicken was for the shut-ins. Then they seasoned
raw chicken to be put in the cooler so that tomorrow's first chicken cookers for
the picnic would have some chicken ready to cook.
We attended the 6:00pm vigil Mass & then joined Barry,
Theresa, Ernie &, later, Bonnie & Todd at the Nicktown Bar. We not only
enjoyed ourselves with laughter & stories but also liked the pizza &
beer.
Tonight's movie: "7 Days in May." We watched ½.
Lights out: 11:30pm.
