Rainy day so Ray and Donnie got cement blocks set in greenhouse and benches back in. I hosed them down and pushed gravel off brickwalk and washed it. Was 15 minutes late for Garden Forum but Mildred Barrow had told them no Harvest Festival at mall so we decided to push calendar. Order 100 instead of 50 and make a dollar and a half on each.

To shop but couldn’t help Kass on the BDOS error on her black book disk. Sending it to David for Disk Doctor. To PK and brought round red table for deck. Paid them $402 for lumber and got 10 packs seeds at five cents instead of regular price of $0.55.

Corn from garden for supper. Dave has scavenged enough lumber then he now has a roof on his shack.

Rainy off and on- sure glad I postponed picnic until Sunday.

Ray and boys got East deck finished and laid out steps and platform to patio and steps to river.

Wes Sharp and helper here from Peacocks to put in fin radiation in greenhouse. Will finish tomorrow. But making room for them to work got me to cleaning basement. Got everything moved and cleaned except South wall. Dave got into Daddy’s tool chest. Not much left in it for such a big chest

Dick and Ruth Davidson stopped on way to Maurice Richmond’s showing- Dick’s uncle. Brought a framed 1914 Marion County map put out by Harding Publishing Company value $150. A gift to Marion County Historical Society. Says Rusty will be back Friday or Saturday to finish caulking.

Dave moved island in kitchen and broke mother’s dishes. CorningWare. (For Christmas he bought me another one – added 2009 )

Foertsch not here till 9:30. Had to pick up lumber I ordered at Wolohan’s yesterday. Not the best- have to take back five posts.

They got South deck on. Had to repair area under TV room where joists got wet when roof leaked and carpenter ants did their dirty work. I went to Wolohan’s to pick up insulation for under there and a 12×16 ft board. While I had Ray’s truck also got 12 sections post and rail fence for along road.

Mary and Kenny out for a while.

Called Nikon- Garden City, New York this a.m. and found that even with modification my lenses won’t work with the FA I bought- i.e. to use the all over exposure reading and automatic features. Also the Vivitar flash goes on so hard it’s almost impossible to get off.

Called David to see what time they will be up Wednesday after Karen takes entries. They aren’t coming! Karen still sewing kids clothes to enter.
