Thursday December 23rd
Last-minute shopping at Lowes. Poinsettia and wreaths @ $1 live juniper and rosemary trees. So many ends tied up in one day. Mary and I led Haupt’s truck to Jackson Center cemetery where driver unloaded the Conrad and Margaret Hemmerly marker and rolled it to base prepared by Paul N., Beryl and Vernon Hemmerly. Paul and June and Dick Messenger met us and we all froze in wind chill of zero temperature 26 degrees. To Paul’s to warm up and for cookies and coffee. And while I was gone carpet layer’s came and finished closet carpet. Matt and Al Sisson came and put new top on photo cabinet in TV room. New finish on coffee table and panel in air conditioner hole in my bedroom. Stopped and Hutchmans with rosemary tree.
