Sunday September 9th 1979 Regas wholesale florist open house.
Doesn’t seem like Sunday with Bob working. Kathi started and I finished mowing the lawn. Kids not very cooperative to help work. Soaked pinyon pine cones and packed box and also one to ship. About 1:00 Kathi and I went to Ernest Regas wholesale florist open house in their new building on Gregg Street. Met Ernest and Tony & wife of Sparks Florist. 3 designers working and I won door prize for coming the farthest. Next closest was from Ely 310 miles. Bought some swirl wreaths from Philippines. Good Buffet. Then to MGM Grand to see the 40 shops in the lower level arcade. Grand staircase with mirrors interesting. Shops expensive. I wonder if they really sell that stuff? Hot about 90°. Bob called that beacon was out* and he would be late. We finally ate about 6:30. Pork chops and leftovers and chocolate pudding. Bob home about 7 and first thing he said “Where did those toys come from and why are they in the living room?” Mike had given Kristi a camper. Watched movie about a ghost on airplanes for a while and then to my room to read “The Rivers Ran East” by Leonard Clark. Is search for El Dorado in early 1950s- he found six of the Seven Cities. David had book from library. Packed. Finished book about 1:30.
