Mary out and we went across river to hunt paw paws. Found one nice cluster of four and some small ones. New neighbors keep a trashy yard and aren’t too careful where they cut trees.

Left kids in bed when I started for Columbus about 8:30. Good board meeting- both Regional Affairs Handbook and standing rules adopted with a few changes. All committees functioning well. I didn’t intrude on 3:00 training for regional reps. Found Dave and Dee in cafeteria. Mary and Geneva Brewer brought them down about 1:00 and they spent time in museum.
To Port Columbus by 4:30 for their 5:30 flight to LA via Atlanta. Hard to see them go!
I called Voissart Plumbing early and Dave reported that water was flowing again but when I got home note from Howard said no water it comes and goes.

With Mary to Mohican State Park. Dave and Dee took two and a half hour hike to Lyon Falls and beyond. Mary and I hiked in about a half mile. Then to Kingwood Center. I don’t think Dee has had experience like this with a family.

Dave and Dee packed three boxes and my biggest suitcase to take back. Many things from his black box including photograph albums that Kathi prepared for him when he left for Don’s at age 14.
He is so dear to me. Still a little boy in a few ways but struggling so hard to be a man. Tries at least when I’m around to live up to my expectations.
Had to meet group from Union County Historical Society at Heritage Hall. Dave and Dee went to Logan County to see Ohio and Zane Caverns. Then met kids at Heritage Hall and gave them the tour.
Mary ordered pizza and we ate at her house and visited.
Dave and Dee stopped at Lovell’s- Amy and fiancee were there will be married November 4th

his was the work day that Dave promised me. He got Shrubbery along Road and dragged it across the road. Dee is a real worker. Swept gravel from road resurfacing off both driveways and cut off black-eyed susan plants.
We dug out the 10 Savin junipers along driveway walk and replanted in lower terrace. Then planted Siberian Juniper and potted moms under the silky dogwood. Hauled several wheelbarrow loads of mulch.
Felt satisfied at accomplishing so much- things I can’t do alone.
Quit at 3:00 to get ready to go to Cardington- Al’s Restaurant to meet Mary Hecker and Mary and Carl Jordan. Nice visit with them.
Watched Kathi’s videos of Halibut fishing near Homer, Alaska. She has some beautiful shots.
No water from faucets at 6:00 p.m. and Peacock Plumbing went out of business at 5:00 p.m.! No plumber until Monday.
