Bill Linn picked kids up to spend day with him. Picked up things at Harding Home and listed the $50 worth I donated to them. Wedding appointment with Linda Underwood of Caledonia. Family Florist (Caledonia- Noggles) are going to silk and gifts only.
Shirley Carrozza in and I signed all mortgage and note papers for closing on 1020 Toulon. Dick Mulvane just now sending in for to Metropolitan policies. (I told him 10 days ago). Left check for $11,920 with Cheryl to give to Shirley when Metro come.
Took MCHS checks to Irma Campbell- ordered 500 more raffle tickets for Afghan. Made copies of the invitation to Sheneman’s for mother’s birthday. Cleaned off desk- had shop conference and asked them to all cooperate.
Picked up pizza for supper. Kids watched Miss Universe Pageant (Miss USA won) while I finished packing. Bed 11:00.

Sunday July 6th
To shop to pick up live plants for Harding home and took kids with me. Jeanette DeWolfe- Widow of Mrs Harding’s grandson- came over to see the house before the crowds. This part of the Harding family was as ignored in the recreation of the front porch campaign as they were during the original.
I was assigned to the reception hall and gave the history of the building (1890) and marriage (1891) and receiving of election returns in the hall (1920) I met the Hardings of Worthington- descendants of Warren’s brother George- and Charles Harmon was more than dordial- he brought Louise Kling- Mrs. Harding’s neice and I talked with her. She had been a shop customer until her money ran out.
Program was good John Hix made an excellent Daughtery & Judge Myers Master of Ceremonies. Man from Delaware as Harding was terrible but Mrs. Granger as Mrs. Harding made Louise Kling gasp.

Kids picked tansy on way to work and after dying, sold to shop for a dollar a dozen. But I made them rent sniff to pay for dye to show that not all is profit.
Carrozza called to say I got the house. Other people couldn’t get VA loan at 10.5%. To Home Federal to apply. I will have to pay 12.5% interest since I won’t live in it. Have to fill out financial statement and get insurance. Find my assets are $465,000 and liabilities $27,000 balance due on 2 rental houses.
Mary Page in saying she “wants to quit”- I calmed her down. Doesn’t like people talking about other people and Kristi upset because I criticized arrangement she made. Dinner at Ponderosa with Mary and Kenny kids eat free hamburger and french fries. Then kids and I to Crum’s and picked 5 quarts strawberries $3.
Call David we have no mutual free time before I go to Reno

Just before I got to work Terry cut back of hand on bud vase and was taken to emergency room. Blood everywhere.
Jim stiverson in to sub and he and kids helped me move furniture from Bowen house to OSUM for program tonight. Ate at McDonalds for lunch. Enlisted Saundra Middleton to wear antique dress and play Susanna Baker.
All changed clothes & had supper at Wendy’s before going to MCHS meeting. Business meeting snappy- Ted Myers Bicentennial Minute discouraging (Don’t see how we won the revolution!)
Judge Myers & Hal Boncutter were great as Eber Baker and Judge Thomas Anderson in 1862 reminiscing about early Marion.
