She may not want to see Uranus, but Agnes Hahn is perfectly happy just to be back home after almost a week in the hospital. Mary Hinkle brought her mother home this afternoon and helped her get settled in. Since nothing but work was waiting for Mary back at the Ponderosa, she decided to mow the lawn at the Come Hahn Inn. It wasn't too long that Gary McDonald and Carroll Morford came along with their own lawn mowers to help Mary out. Mary got home in time for the mid afternoon wine break. As we understand it, Mavis Kennedy made the wine herself. Mary bought some meat and cheese in Highmore before coming home.
