MCHS 6 hrs
Spent morning cleaning up & sorting out the best begonias & succulents to take to HH for C’Mas Bazaar. I also got more magazines down from attic. Decided to sell my collections of C’mas issues.
In about 2:00 & found my spot was to be in lobby behind vestibule – And the table set up was the low one I’ve been trying to get out tof the archives room ever since it was put there when the newspaper collection was moved in.
Then down to Mary Jordan’s to pick up her last 6 bags of leaves. Just got home & the leaves dumped when they (Mary H & Mary J) came to pick me up to go to Al’s for dinner. We all had chicken & noodles & plenty to bring home.
Called Kathi & also talked to Kristi. Kathy & Bob traded their Honda on a new Toyota Camry – The Hone was too low – they just got it in June!

Thanksgiving
MCHS Trella 1 hr
David 2 hrs.
In to Mary’s at 8. Picked up a centerpiece to take to Haldeman’s. When we got there, David was at office so Mary & I went over & he worked on the program to print certificates for all who have purchased bricks.
Back to 6404 Coffey at `1:30 for a fabulous Thanksgiving Dinner. (which Susannah insisted was lunch). Clam chowder, Rast Turkey, pork loin roast, mashed potatoes, 2 kinds of stuffing, fruit bread, sweet potato & pecans, broccoli, brussels sprouts & cauliflower. 2 kinds of cranberry sauce, pumpkin & mince pies. All delicious. Boy’s room re-arranged & more open space. Jed was entering notes of a piece & then the Commodore computer played it back! Left about 4:30 & home by 8:00. 6 hrs driving – 6 hrs visiting & eating.
Jed played (poorly, I thought) his new (old) French Horn that I gave him $1,000 for. They had to pay $850 so that gave the family $150 for the cleanup work they did at Terradise on Nov 10 – David & Josh had a session with their trombones. Interesting to see how easily he teaches.

Gave my annual reports for Secretary, Newsletter editor & RegII meeting.Election easy – nominated slate elected with no further nominations.(rumors that Charlie Evers wold be nominated from floor). Eula Rhoads elected president.
Glad to get home & to bed.

Called Uncle Allen to wish him & Aunt Ruth a Happy 75th Wedding Anniversary. He sounded real chipper, but Aunt ruth didn’t come to phone. They have 2 maids & someone in there all the time with them. Ruth broke her hip in June & was in convalescent home for 80 days. First time they had been apart for more than a few days since they were married.
