Wednesday, May 28, 1947 David breaking out with chicken pox.
Out along Scioto to get camassia for Daddy.
Mother & daddy having time finding enough iris to fill orders. Got some from Ruben. He came on over here & talked garden. Shame to waste beautiful day like this in house. Finished woodwork in bedroom. First coat. Things moved into living room & it’s a mess.
Ironed living room curtains & draperies came back from cleaneres so got them up.
Romines up at 7 to see iris & then out to George Stafford’s. He wasn’t home but his Eleanor Roosevelt good.
First look at Ray’s iris – Summer Tan – Dolly Madison – Mary Seward – Happy Days – Eros & some good unnamed ones. Ping pong & since Ray hadn’t wanted us to come out I suggested we go home about 9:15 & was looked upon scathingly. Florence said “We laid out the whole evening for you so you might as well stay since you’re here.” However none of my ideas for vacation met with her approval.
