Awake: 5:55am Temp 55 sleep 6+22 rain..gentle, but continuous overnight @ Nicktown.
Early morning, the Basset truck came in & loaded a lot of scaffolding & planks into their truck & left us for the rest of the week. Too much rain I suppose.
Meanwhile, K & I attended 8:00 am Mass this morning; our priest, Father Job, will be leaving us today. After (10) yrs of being our pastor in Nicktown, he will go on a 3 month sabbatical to the Trappist Monastery in Berryville, VA. where he will be discerning what God has planned for him. We will certainly miss him!
Most of us in the community really liked him & people from distant towns have, for years, patronized our church services & Catholic School.
After Mass, we invited Charlie & Ellen from Ohio to join our KK meeting & afterwards, we thoroughly toured them thru our house & had some good talks with laughter along the way.
In our spare time, we continued to unpack boxes throughout the day. It's not exactly like Christmas, but we have had & will have many more moments of delight when finding stuff that was long forgotten.
Also, during the picnic on Sunday, my cousin Maria asked about a tour for this evening & so, she & her daughter, Lydia & her twin sister Marca, were given a grand tour with the lights on...because it was nighttime. They didn't have to patronize, but they did give us home grown tomatoes & salsa & (2) Macintosh apples + flowers. Wow! Thank you guys!
Dinner: Chili with elbow macaroni & Doritos.
Lights out: 11:20pm.
