To Cinci for Sarah’s 15th birthday. Had sent her check earlier along with David’s band pin – which she “couldn’t possibly wear because she belongs to the Walnut Hills band” Didn’t even mention the check $75 until David prodded her.
Nice dinner on patio – TIny links, spinach quiche, tossed salad, orange jello (Harvey brought) and choc chiffon cake with butterscotch icing decorated with red raspberries – Sarah baked it.
Took a drive to Lars Anderson Park to see the sun set & moon rise while enjoying view of Ohio River & Ky. Lovely evening. Video taped it.
David & I worked on the HH brochure in Ventura.

78-97 – hot!
Picked up Eber Baker beans at Youngs who took them home last night. Took them to cabin at Fair. Helen Geyer & Helen Clingenpeel volunteers not interested in giving out samples. Mrs. Chambers had moved her baked goods table even with the door leaving little room for people without blocking door.
Helen Kaufman picked me up in front of mother’s house & we arrived at John Green Cemetery about 11:50. Tool video shots & got Charlton reading Declaration of Independence. Taped present day James McClain in fron of his War of 1812 ancestor – also James McClain and then found his wife is Ruth Hemmerly McClain – daughter of Harold, son of Henry son of Conrad Jr – son of Conrad & Margaret the immigrants. We will exchange info. They were there with Jerry Sams – Fanny & Floy’s friends. Nice picnic with Cottrells & Helen. Talked with Rita Erickson & Madge Guthery. Stopped at Fair & picked up bean crock pot. Home & retreated to my air conditioned bedroom. Watered some late evening.

To Fair at 1:00 – I was supposed to be there at 11:00! (lost my datebook). But no big rush, even though it was Ladies Day. Bake sale brought in about $100 – Took crock pot of Eber Baker beans but not really done until evening. Grocery shopped on way home.
