Dave up at 5:30 and ready to leave for canoe trip on little Muskingum at 6:15. Battery dead on wagon- he played the radio full blast last night while he cleaned the car. Dick Cooper over and jumped it for him and they left at 6:45. I made two batches of freezer strawberry jam before breakfast on the deck to accompaniment of indigo bunting. Planted three rows popcorn and chopped weeds in garden across road. In to Veterans Park across from Harding Memorial to meet Steven Drown- landscape architect from OSU. Needed his plans to show them where to place Spanish-American War monument. To shop in Norma Ekleberry frantic because payroll program stalled. Talked to her around alternatives and she finally hit on using the backup and entering hours already figured. To Center- two sets visitors- Firstenburger girls, Katie Hill and Dorothy. Cleaned and trimmed shrubbery. Hickson’s there. To Mary’s to take tools to sharpen. dinner at “Sisters” with them. shopped at Meijer and got $50 from money machine at National City Bank.
Worked on Iris bed on front bank. Kathi called- sure be glad when Steven leaves. Dave home about 10:00 from canoe trip. Went right to bed.
