Tommy Hemmerly called and they will be coming for the Prairie Conference.
Tuned in to Madge Guthery on The Way We Were [WMRN] at 8:15 and she said today was the once a year open house at the floating Cranberry Island at Buckeye Lake. Called Mary and she said “Let’s go!” Wrote letter to Jenny Fentling- Bertha Morris granddaughter- on a publisher for her poems.
Weeded and fertilized. Mary Dye called to tell me how thrilled she was to read my column on the McNeil-Fairchild wedding.
Got to the bog about 2:00. 1 hour wait for boat and 40 minute visit- Calypogon and rose pagonia the big show. Plenty of cranberry and pitcher plant blooming. Stopped at Hildreth home in Knox County and met Mrs. Darrel Jordan who lives there.
