4:00 DLM – income tax appointment
Diane Mault called – missing some data on my income tax – so I printed out info again & took it to her.
Stopped at library & Probate Court to see what marriage records ae available. Deduced that when I was at desk in outer office Jane’s keys were on the desk and I picked them up thinking they were mine – I owe her $90!

Back in to Marion – picked up Mary & to DLM – Mary owed over $1,000 in Federal income tax due to capital gains on the 3 lots they bought from Daddy – I have 500+ to pay & get refund on city & state.
We ate at Tim Hortons – then to Mary’s – I took a nap & to Garden Club at Marion General Hospital – Gerry of Brush Ridge Country Corner was speaker – he is in over his head! Like Daddy used to say “Got a tiger by the tail”

Entered all of Mitchells family in Family Tree Maker – can save 11 pages by printing out descendant chart instead of family group sheets like Howard has now.
Finished Hallmarks – created labels Monday. To HH at 11:00 to run Hallmarks – Jane told me she had misplaced her keys – I pulled mine out of my pocket – she called locksmith – they charge $90 to make a car key. I found her keys in my pocket when I got in car.

Margaret Cottrell & Mary in to help fold & label Hallmarks. To PO about 4:00 & then met Mary at OfficeMax to get her desk problem straightened out – evidently she picked up the wrong tag & took it to desk – black & too big $149 – the one she wanted was $65! – after some hassle they agreed to exchange.

Called Jim Brown & he will go to Sarasota at Longboat Key & look at material John Sawyer has on Harding medical records.
