Printed out info for Marjorie MayOosterholt on reunion. Have 75 reservations- 52 class members. Not very good response from 180 living members. Humid!

Royce to clean- with all the details of Chad getting his driver’s license on the third try using a neighbor’s truck. Made meatloaf and glazed carrots from the garden. Ate on deck in 90° Heat
Miley’s carpet man came to measure side porch for new green weatherproof carpet $131.
Enervated so took a nap. Wrote up Huber minutes on computer.
Dave called and talked over a half hour about wedding & his raises. Will have about $1,000 a month take home- 2 years plus housing plus one year ship duty. Takes F2 test September 13th.

Spent the day at home except to go with Mary and Geneva to Miley’s carpet warehouse. Mary getting new living room carpet.
That fertilizer I put on was too strong and killed some begonias.
Mowed lower lawn. First mowing since early June. Grass has greened and grew- rain totaled four inches but River still shallow. Corn and soybeans looking much better. Bill Nolan called- won’t be at board meeting. Tom Kuhn called for my reaction to certification recognition meeting.

Sprayed the Mullein plants in the front lawn with weed and feed. Never saw such a thick stand of mullein. Hope there is some grass under them.
In to Center at 1:00. Lucy and John Chaney from Pittsfield Massachusetts brought original Harding poster given by Marion County Bank in 1921- can replace our copy. Learned Lucy’s family Brown’s bought butter from Benoni Stokely when she was a little girl.
Supper with Mary at Perkins. Bought shoes to wear to wedding and took my dress to Mary’s. She says I look okay in it.

Set out annuals to fill in among impatiens, marigolds and in tubs
To Marion General Hospital for blood test and mammogram. Latter not painful for me- some say it is. To Center to finish up mailing on position of MCHS that John Watkins told the star the Commissioners are waiting for- why didn’t he tell us? John Hickson there accessioning things that piled up while he was on vacation.

Up at 6:15 and left for Carrollton at 7:30. Martha Jones hosted certification committee on stone porch of McCook house. Chris Runberg Smith there- not very diplomatic in tearing Tom Kuhn’s presentation apart. Richard Frankoviglia the perfect diplomat. Decided to play down the pilot program and change name to recognition. When I walked in Kris and Pat Cummins were making their usual snide remarks.
Stopped at Wonder Gardens on way home and bought annuals but they are too far gone I’m afraid.
