Sally Hayes out & we went along old 30 along RR tracks [Claridon Prairie] & cut mullein, evening primrose, rabbit clover, prairie dock for class.
In to shop about 2:30 & called Debbie & Martha in to my office. When I asked them if they had ever thought of opening a shop of their own Martha said “Why? Don’t you want us here?” So I had to tell them we didn’t. Debby cried & cried, but went immediately to Marion Flower Shop to apply for a job. Picked kids up & brought them home with me. Took them home when I went to Historical Society Meeting. Mary & Rocky there to hear the Jolley’s son covered bridge.
