David’s 64th Birthday party at Red Lobster
No heat – called Raush Plumbing & Heating & Dale Tobin here by 11:30 to 2:30 – circulating pump kaput.
To Marion for new one – none fit boiler but had a used one in their shop – found leak in greenhouse baseboard. More trips to Marion for pipe & fittings. Drained system & re-watered it. But may have to come back next week – left at 2:30.
To Le Salon for shampoo & styling cut $20. Dan told me of Marcie’s problems – has had aching back for years – finally found she has a gall stone size of egg but no operating room available until Feb 19!
Stopped at Kingston for a visit with Erma Hutchman. She is on oxygen 24 hrs. Has a walker & wheel chair & aide takes her to dining room for meals. She found a birthday card for David – Has known him since 1947 when she & Bill & Ann & ed moved to Marion from Slippery Rock, PA.
Then to Red Lobster to meet Haldemans, Jed & Lisette [Miette] arrived first from Cols – Rachel working – Jed & her are renting an apt in the Townly House on E. Town St. David, Karen, Josh & Susannah from Cinci & Sarah, David & Thad Sapp from Urbana – I gave David $150 birthday & gift – It barely covered the chedk for him, Karen, Suz & me!
