Dave and I to TN Preserve and by holding to his arm I was able to walk the lane to the Geocache site. Then followed the perimeter trail to the cur off, a beautiful half hour walk. Trees bare and identification easy from leaves on the ground. So good to the [see] my house from over there.
Then to Marion where Dave visited Hemmerly’s Flowers & ordered flowers for Johanna. Got sandwiches & me a tpot pie at Famous Chicken. Drove thruy downtown Marion & along the Fairground, Greenwood & Van Buren family homes.
Back home I rewrote the news release on Hemmerly’s Flowers using the picture of 1966 staff.
Jim Carpent er arrived about 4:00 with a big box of food and a red carnation & yellow daisy bokay for me. He cooked hamburger (in his skillet so he “wouldn’t get yours dirty”) – Made sloppy Joes that included some kidney beans. Gale arrive at 4:30 with Byers [sic] ice cream and Quince in chunks in a sweet syrup served over the ice cream. Delightful conversation. Ben Kern joined us – after others left he and Dave had a real gab fest. He left at 12:30 AM. after Gale left.
Such a delightful day – 94 year old woman & 3 men!
