Wednesday June 25th
Harry Garverick in about 1:30 with key to show me the 1020 Toulon house. Two-story bath & 3 bedrooms up. Living room, dining room, family room, kitchen, half bath down, full basement gas heat $42 a month budget. Two car garage- too much shrubbery. Sens showing the house as we left. Told Harry about Ruby- tried to call Ruby no answer. Harry sent Shirleyy Carozzo over with contract. Find there would be $1,200 closing costs and $800 even if I assume $26,000 loan. Don’t want to pay to $32,000 down. Only need about twelve thousand down. Shirley got okay from owners in Michigan but there is a contract on it until June 30th. People trying to get a VA loan. So may not need to worry about who gets the commission.
Kathi called all upset after talking to kids Rita indulging their every whim and Shorty is there. I think that’s a good thing. She’ll let us know what’s going on.
To Lil’s at 11 for brunch for Gail Fields. Mary, Kass & I. Blueberry muffins, fruit cup, chicken in a basket, green beans, tomatoes, olives and strawberry tart.

Tuesday June 24th
Harry Garverick in to apologize for being unable to come to picnic but then mentioned a house on Toulon for sale for $58,000. Told him I might be interested and get me more info. Harry teaches Tri-Rivers says Swartz (Dave’s friend who is supervisor) didn’t check anybody else for a job as he wanted Dave.

Cleaned 5 quarts strawberries, fixed baked beans, lemonade, iced tea. Set up tables under the Big Oak- served Howard apple pie, ice cream and cheese for lunch. Left at 1:25 for Jim Hill’s place at far Northwest part of Marion County “Irmac Hills” for Camera Club outing. Has had 50 acres along by Tymochtee River only a year. Built quarter mile road- set in mobile home. Built barn- cleared and mowed. Really delightful and he’s a kid with a new toy. Only stayed an hour and hated to leave the guys who came. Picked up mock chicken, relish plate and potato salad and cheese plate from Geneva Brewer $45 and Zacharias furnished meat! Picked mother up and got back to Terradise before the guests. About 30 here but not Mattimores- Garvericks- Linstedts- Tonya. Played croquet- guess your weight (on my scales that weigh 6 pounds heavy!) Boggle. Gave silly prizes. Left by nine. Watched Romeo and Juliet on TV.

Thursday June 19th
Howard and I to Crum’s to pick strawberries. Got two baskets 8 quarts in about 15 minutes $5.40
Paris & Helen[Romine] out about 6 wanted to tell me the doctor had said it is terminal but they want to try laetrile. Paris mentioned all he hasn’t done and appreciated every bird and flower. Why do we have to stare death in the face to appreciate life?
Judy Kuehnle Etter called to ask about duties of Marion City Park Manager that Greg wants to apply for. He had applied for Tri-Rivers job that Dave [Woessner] is taking. Now I see that Dave got the job because he bowls with someone out there. Why would they hire Dave when Greg has a college degree in horticulture?

Wednesday June 18th
Paris [Romine] has been in hospital a week and a biopsy showed that his shoulder pain is cancer not arthritis, tendonitis or bursitis. Went to see him at Community Med Center. Had a shot to help him sleep and was not coherent. Called Margaret Ann and she said they were taking him to Washington Courthouse Monday for Laetrile treatment. I didn’t realize it was legal.
To Turroffs for dinner. Gladys Mosier there as Orlie is also at Community Medical Center. Infection in foot and toes.
Geneva call with plans for picnic Sunday.
