Open Garden Tour.
Copied Terradise brochure & last minute chores. My car battery dead again but Patty brought their jumper over & when Bob & Sue Hartman [came] he jump started it so I could move it across road. Mr & Mrs Coulter brought yard signs to sell – but only sold one. He left 2 for me.
Bill Hutchman & Opal & Kensel Clutter helped sell & Jane Rupp filled in everyplace. Mary presided at the register on the deck – but only she & Jane bought any paperbacks. Only rose bush brought by Sloboda’s sold so I owe them $4 out of the $270 we took in. Marion Mixers Garden Club came as a group & the only ones I “toured”. Jack Telfer joined the group. While we were down in the woods a front blew in – trays dropped & soon had rain. Don & Mary Alban (McDaniel genealogist descended from Jane) rested in rec room. She bought Tales of Sage of Salt Rock & the Courthouse Book. Mary invited Jane & the Harters stayed for pizza & we had a good talk – all gone by 6:00 PM.
