Royce & Jim arrived at 9:15 – Jim took down shower curtain & liner to lounder – reworked stone wall by mail box to take out the bulge [sic] – PLanted 5 peony plants roots – only 2 had ‘pink eyes’ – 3 look dead. He mowed across road & trimmed dead wood from white lilacs. Tey left at 1:30 – Royce $50 – Jim $40 – I mowed upper lawn and along lower drive. Rested from 3:15 to 3:45. Baked ham loaf.
Jed, Rae & Miette arrived at 5:45 instead of 5:00 as planned so most streets closed by time we got to Marioon at 6:15. Jed parked at Hemmerly’s b hard to find a spont & I thought they misunderstood & were walked to HH from there so I drive there. Had to park of High Street by Y – long walk to front steps. Betty white got me a chair – sat on top step. JR & L arrived walking ( I pulled away just as they headed to my car.
