Awake: 6:05am Temp 25 sleep 7+22 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
Today should be a big day for us; 1st of all, we need to go shopping @ Lowe's, Giant Eagle, Get-Go for fuel, & Wal-Mart. That's the 1st part; then we are invited to join Kevin & (3) of the boys @ the Indiana Junior high school for Magic tricks & comedy. After that, we will walk to the: "It's a Wonderful Life" parade downtown.
The forecast told us the temp will be in the mid 20's; so for shopping, we wore our light clothing & that worked well. We spent a good deal of time @ Lowe's & finally purchased the lights for our powder room;
and a few other things that we might need later.
@ Giant Eagle, we loaded up our cart & that tape at the check-out counter just wouldn't stop. Wal-mart's tape was ½ of Giant Eagle's.
Next, we motored across town & visited the Foote family & spent about (40) min with them before the (3) boys had to get ready for the Magic & Comic show. We trans-loaded our Eskimo duds into Kevin's small van & he drove to the Indiana Junior high school building where we parked, walked inside & gave our tickets to the collectors for the show.
Fortunately we were early enough to get front row seats as later, it was a full house.
This comedy & magic show is a one man silent performance; until close to the finish.
He was great; he knew how to use people & the kids in the audience in all of his skits & they were funny.
Nathan nearly wore himself out with his laughter. We enjoyed it immensely & so did the boys.
Lucky for us, the school basement was open due to cleanup time by the janitor. We went back to the van, got our Eskimo clothes, & used the bathroom to re-insolate our bodies in preparation for the cold night.
It took us about (20) min to walk over close to the parade & there we stopped to have some marshmallows on a stick; then we walked a little further & waited for the parade to begin.
Kathy didn't realize it at the time...nor did I ...but Jimmy was right in front of her.
Now this next number surprised me big time: these girls have to be tough to absorb this kind of weather & still look so good.
There were a lot more numbers yet to see but Kevin didn't want the boys to be out too late, so we got ahead of the Rockettes, crossed the street & Kevin led us into a basement where there were close to (20 +) model trains,all running on different tracks with a lot of scenery all around the towns & elsewhere.
These guys that keep their trains running are dedicated to doing things right.Their club has been together for over (20) yrs now.
I couldn't pass this small airport up; it looked so real.
On the way back to the car, the boys were getting a little tired but they didn't complain.
At the Foote house, we said our thank you's & good byes for now. K & I were home in Nicktown @ 9:40. Then we had some popcorn, Triskets & cheese.
It was a fun day.
Lights out: 11:55pm.
