85 sunny
Attended Neva Burtch Harris funeral at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. Jackie & Jerry Ballenger family (6 kids & families) took up 4 rows. Cremation casket & about 5 floral tributes.
After service I was greeted by Bob Johnson, Brenda Dye (Marilee’s daughter), Jackie & Jerry. As he was leaving the parking lot a nice chat with Catherine & Jane Loudenslager. Didn’t go to Pleasant Hill Cemetery for burial.
At 2:00 Dave Claborn & Gary Iams arrived with brochures for fund raising for new science building on Ohio State University [Marion] Science Complex. $17 million project. 4 million still to raise. I’ll consider giving 2 of Howard’s HH bonds – need advice on cashing & tax liability for $7,500 deferred interest.
A Mark Webb? And crew stopped in a pickup with Tenn. licensed & offer to wash green fungus from siding & paint wood on picture windows. Also provide drainage from downspout by greenhouse. $200 – and caulk & use fungi remover & seal on all vinyl siding.
Called Gale about 2:00 thinking she was leaving on 3 day honeymoon tomorrow. Instead of asking – as I usually do -’Are you coming to Terradise for supper?’ I asked ‘What are your plans for this evening?’ Her reply – ‘Trella, I’m on my honeymoon!’
