Temp 90 – Feast Day
Mary & Kenny picked at 7:30 for trip to New York – Niagra Falls. He had a list & got up early enough so that all was checked off by time I got up. But it makes me feel like a big weight off not having to plan my days around him.

Plowed garden across road and replanted corn & cuburbits. Letter from Eamon and he will meet us at airport!

Took letters for committee chairmen & refunds to Imogene to mail as I have no class money. Visited mother – at high carbohydrate and porotein today on no jet lag diet. Judy over to protest Kass & Pat getting a raise and no one else did. I only knew Pat did.
