Mother & Daddy’s wedding anniversary. Married in Windsor, Ontario on the day the Titanic sank.
Got newsletters ready for 10 media in area – some with pictures. Stopped at Shaws at corner of 309 & Pole Lane to inquire about gazebo – $3500 plus $210 tax & $140 hauling – to put on deck under dead beech that has to be removed first.
To Kurt Carhart to see the Civil War era letters she has – also showed me an Annie Oakley glass target ball & the 1840 Connecticut blanket chest. The letters (50 or more) are priceless – she let me bring them home to copy but will give them to her son-in-law instead of MCHS – too bad – interesting visit.
Stopped at Wolohan & got 7 buckets of sealer/filler for Donnie to seal driveway. Picked Donnie up to unload them (not sure we needed 7 – 5 gal buckets!).
Reading Irvine Stone’s “Immortal Wife” from Mary Prior collection – we had similar reading tastes – first Ramona & now this story of Jessie Benton Fremont & her husband & the exploring of the west.
