Call from Carroll Elsey wakened me. Wanted to talk so met him at shop- He’s contemplating suicide but Phil Boyd told him to find someone to love – So he picked me! – Told him I didn’t have time in my life for complications just as David walked in – Karen had visit to Dr. Davidorf in Columbus, her good eye is showing streaks. Will go in for freezing surgey tomorrow AM. They had Susannah – all smiles & blue grey eyes. We went to Gladies for lunch & to Guys & Dolls for gifts for all kids. When I called to see if my car was ready (took it in at 11:00) – no one had worked on it all day. Had it in for shock absorbers. When I god home Barb Cornwall called – I forgot to go to Eastlawn Manor to help her with Birthday Party.

Mary called before leaving on their trip – Walt in hospital in Phoenix – lungs filled up. Condition stable but critical.

Norma did payroll on computer & was delighted with its ability to figure the hours (a feature Cheryl refused to use) – and now we know it’s accurate. David taught her the A/P program & check writing and she ate it up.

His letter to Kathi was a model of diplomacy – But he was glad I told her off in mine.

Mary Jo Baker, Corinne McAfee & Maxine Marshall in at 7:00 to learn to put cemetery data into computer. Barb Midlam brought over 6 townships for us to work on.

Dave in town with me & we bought him a camoflage jacket $60! David back to Cinci at 9:30. Left there at 6 AM.
