I forgot to mention, on Friday, 9-4, I interviewed and hired
Kat, to work 6 hrs/wk in the garden, to fix and maintain
the irrigation system and take care of the gardens.  She
seems very happy to take on that responsibility and will
start on Tuesday, Sept.8th.

On Thursday, over lunch, I told Kate I was planning to
hire a gardener to take care of the gardens and the
irrigation.  She was clearly VERY, VERY happy with
that news.  She was tired of working on the system and
was not good at garden work; does not know a thistle,
dandelion from a columbine.  The columbine are gone
and the thistles and dandelions are still in the garden.
I hope Kat works out.

This afternoon we met the Mossburgs at the Dairy
Center to see Misalliance, a play by Bernard Shaw.
It started at 2 PM and we didn't get out of there
until 5 PM.  The first act was all talk and no
action and both Shirley and I had trouble staying
awake.  We took turns snoozing.  The second
act had enough action to keep us awake.  I have
to admit I was negatively impressed with the
play although I admired the actors for the number
of lines they had to remember and delivered
without a hitch.

We came home and ate as soon as I was able
to get it ready.  We'd skipped lunch because we
had a late breakfast.  We had pizza and peaches
for supper
