Delores over to take care of Kathy, David & Sandra while the Romines & we went to Columbus. Beautiful day but ground still wet. Picked Mary up at Baker Hall & then down to Lazarus.
Bought a blue-twist carpet for living room 12×24 1/2 $335 including laying & delivery. It is lovely but that seems a lot of money to put in this house.
Tulips in full bloom at City Hall – So glad we happened to hit them. Remember Advance – Scarlet Admiral – Admiral Mendel – Indian Chief – Themis.
To North High Bookstore for butterfly book – Weed – to send to Jack Smart in Ireland. Usually have serveral copies but this time not a one. Ate at Pronto Pup stand on way home & then shopped for groceries at A&P in Delaware. Home via back roads from there.
Bought green jodhpurs – $6 – but Flo says I can’t wear them cause they don’t fit.
