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.

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.
