Madge 3 hrs
Worked on Madge’s ‘Selina Lily’ correcting from her proofing.
Met Mary at Wendys & to Denzer’s to pay respects to Carl Lehner – cancer for 4 yrs.
Then to Heritage Hall for EHMA Board meeting. Now considering a 20×70 pole barn building @ $105,000 – seems to me they need a layout study. How do you turn around a thresher or a maintainer – 25’ long in a 20’ building? Everyone pooh-poohed my suggestion to cut out scale models & place them in building.
Made copies of a 1963 Marion Star ‘Progress Election’ for Bob Swaderer. Had Huber Ad – Houghton Sulky Story & Fahey Bank ad.
Took M/S to Madge before meeting & picked it up after.

To HH to meet Dick West to go to Tiffin – Seneca Co. Museum to Thematic Exhibits Workshop. Very pertinent speakers & nice tour of museum, but no hands on experience that I thought would be included.
Dick born in Tiffin so I got a tour of his boyhood hangouts & related homesites. Home about 4 – Shopped at Meijer for coleus, celosa & snaps – cookies & prunes.

70-86 dropped to 60 in 20 minutes about 8 PM
MCHS 3 hrs
Gardened till I was worn out. Bath & to Al’s with 2 Marys.
Kensel & Opal Clutter over to finish up the Marion County See labels – took 2 hrs to get them like Kensel wanted them – he preferred 1 ¼ rather than 1 ½ but I told him they only came that close to his specs.
Add a few more species of prairie plants for a total of 90 from all lists for Marion Co.
Opal watched Kathi’s video on Utah. They had been on Burr Trail, Archwes, etc. so she enjoyed it.

OAHSM – 5 + 8 more elsewhere
Tricia Valentine & Bud Sawyer of Local History Office here supposedly to plan Brass Tacks workshop on computers. But Bud had it all outlines – But discussion (held on Beech Deck) took all morning. Swerved them quiches for lunch & then to computer room to ‘hands on’. Tricia counseled that we not get too technical. She left about 2:00 &* Bud about 3:30.

55-80 Sunny
Madge 1 hr
Pair of great crested flycatchers by side porch.
Across the river for buckets of top soil. Also transplanted another pawpaw tree & smilacina recemosa and the candelabra plant that I think is a hyssop. The blooms on the pawpaw tress are in the hundred. Counted 200 on one tree.
Stopped at Reece’s for bread for Howard. Mother’s Day cards from Kristi & Kathio & Kathi’s account of their SE Utah trip – handwritten. So decided to put it in WordStar & print it out for her. Her 19 pages took almost 3 hrs with corrections. Then worked an hour on Madge’s family history.
Mowed the laower lawn &* in fron of house finishing about dark.
TV- Watched stupid movie Big Business – Bette Mitler & Lily Tomlin. How old is Tomlin? She’s been in TV forever.

Transplanted 2 sugar maples from flower bed by egawa across the road on the lot line of lots 2 & 3. Fire last spring killed 2 tulip trees that planted about 6 years ago – 3 ft. high.
