Car would hardly start when I headed for Marion & time with Kass & Pete to pick their brain on touring Ireland – to Global Travel & asked them to check out Brendan fly/drive Bed & Breakfast tours – had photo made at AAA for passport.
Took car to McDaniels to check battery – had to leave it so called Mary to chauffeur me for rest of my errands. She took me to courthouse to apply for passport – to HH to check on acid-free pockets for Civil War letters – saw Jack Telfer in parking lot with newly leased Chevy pickup truck.
Up to Etter’s (Kuehnle) Garden Center – Greg in charge in his electric cart & oxygen tank – great plants – had sandwich at Wendy’s & picked up my car – $90 for battery & $50 for putting in in! – I’ll go to a filling station next time!
Called Ruth Carhart & report on Civil War letters. Called Bill Schertzer to check on laying bricks – hadn’t talked to Tim Fryman – He called back – Be 2 or 3 weeks.
