Picked Dave up at Marys & went over to 229 where girls were cleaning – what a change! And sure smells better. Got home just before Bob Whitman arrived to go over 2nd proofs. Talked for abou9t an hour after we finished & then “played” with David.

12 degrees 20 degrees
Practiced Julianna Bickel’s baptismal certificate for the last calligraphy class. Made nice meat loaf supper but Dave refused to eat. When I saw the mess in the Rec Room (It looked like the way the Alexanders left 229 E. Fairground) I took pictures of it which Dave described as “sick” on my part. Took him to Driver’s Ed at 5 but he was not scheduled. Poor communication with authority.

To Gloria Marshall & then calligraphy & then Genealogy Meeting & then Big Bear. Dave had cleaned Rec Room when I got home – But had sprayed black paint on carpet.

Spent morning “creating” index format – had to call David – & it was so easy when I found out how. When I got it working put in 25 pages in 2 hrs. Then worked on Pleasant Twp. Cemeteries for 2 hrs. My eyes felt like they were on springs!

Mary & Ken out with their pictures of trip – a fabulous 6 weeks – They took Dave to BYF – I did more indexing & picked him up at 7.

To Mar Hist Center with Clara Gillen, Mildred Selanders & Janet Berg to catalog & document the road, bridge and ditch bonds. Started logging them. Mary Mautz brought in “Estray Animal” book from Pleasant Township starting in 1842.

Bob Whitman called saying that 2nd set of proofs were ready and Carol would bring a copy for me to do indexing. She did & I started underlining proper names.

Dave at shop while I was at Center. Took him to Pizza Hut & grocery shopping.
