Trella Hemmerly – 1978-02-21

Tuesday February 21st 1978 fog lifts trees white lace.
Tried to get loose ends tied up. Got Easter order ready and went over it with Dave. Cleared desk. Ordered pens, more Easter Dutch shoes. Worked on secretary report for the Historical Society bulletin and got letter off to Keise & Taylor about a new Marion County History. About 14 at board meeting. Not much business and over at 8:45 as everyone wanted to get home to see “The Awakening Land”. They spoiled it by having the mansion house in 1870 house instead of an 1830 house!

Sunday February 19th 1978
Leisurely day with David & family – Pancake breakfast. tried to walk down in the woods but couldn’t. Snow above knees even yet and when you break through the crust it throws you. Sarah had her little skis on and was real game down the little hill by the greenhouse. Played Boggle- good way to get mind off coal strikes and conserving electricity. Called Allen and Wilda giving them our arrival times.
David and I watched “The Trees” of Conrad Richter’s “The Awakening Land”. On TV story of first Ohio settlers.

Saturday February 18th 1978
To LaRue for 2:30 wedding and couldn’t get into church until 1:35. Then at 3:30 couldn’t get into Quinn Chapel for a 4:30 wedding. Had to climb over snowbank to unload.
Picked up house a little. David, Karen, Sarah & Joshua arrived about 11:30. Sarah so cute. Joshua cries if I just look at him. I guess because he looks like the Meisters he feels he has to dislike me like the Meisters do.
