Mary & I created a report in Quicken showing her monthly income and expenditures about $2,000 income and $1,900 expense only drawing $200 from investments but paying $450 car payment

Sunday April 11th 70° falling to 50 degrees
Took some pictures of Terradise on digital and spent time at computer learning how to manipulate them and printing. Took tractor down toward pond and cleared all of sticks and leaves so duckweed could wash out into the waterway. Via e-mail: Dave’s dives and tan of Tasmania

Saturday April 10th
David spent most of day enlarging ditch to pond using dirt to make a dam at waterway riverbank. 1 1/2 inches of rain so lots of water going into pond. I drove tractor with cart and picked up sticks to add too dam. He also fixed leaking toilet after we went to Lowe’s and bought a weed eater/blower/vacuum. He cleaned up some flower beds with it. I boiled the 70 shrimp the Loofs bought and that was supper. David left about 5:30..
Judy Haberman (Darren’s future mother-in-law) out to evaluate Terradise for Jennifer’s wedding on July 3rd- liked what she saw.

Friday April 9th
David called saying tornado hit Blue Ash and closed route 71. Had stops in Springfield and Radnor (for DeLorean). Thought he would be here by 3 but it was almost 6 when he got here. Checked out the SanDisk and he couldn’t get it to work either. Also the zip drive has something caught in it. To the Palace for Jimmy Dorsey concert led by trombonist. David clapped extravagantly but said it was good to know that the groups in Cincinnati that he plays with are better than this that was half “pick-up”. David had chat with Jay Walker. Home by 10:30

Thursday April 8th
Gorgeous sunny day. Kroner implement return lawn tractor $143 for checkup including delivery. Royce cleaning. In to Marion to leave minutes at Hemmerly’s- grocery shop at Kroger’s.
Mary and Marian and Peter Loof came about 2:00. Loofs spent winter in Florida near Melbourne and fished and shrimped. Living in the new house on the lake now near Rosseau. Peter builds houses. Lives in it and sells it and avoids all tax on gain!

Tuesday April 6th
Took Mary with me to doctor Singh’s as I didn’t need help with my knee. Took Kathi’s e-mail with suggestions on what might help her regain sight in one eye. He compared it with her charts and found it all things suggested had been done and nothing was wrong there.
To HH for exec committee meeting- not much doing.
