Sunday 1993 - After seeing Mother -- she drank 3 glasses of milk -- we ate at Ponderosa, $1 off if you bought a drink which was 99c. Then to movie at $1.50 each, "The Incredible Journey - Homeward Bound" about 2 dogs and a cat who had quite a wilderness [?] trip on their way back home. In the evening we went out to see John and Laura Hughes. He is having a slow recovery. Wendy called us, she was really excited about her NY trip this past week.

Saturday 1998 - Had tickets at $12 each for Peer Gynt at the Murphy Theater. Put on by the deaf. I had trouble staying awake as did Jean, sat next to the Nathan Hales. Talked to James Terrell there, he is hard of hearing. Told me of difficulties that Hubert Peelle is having. Spent some time in bookstore, wonder how they stay in business. Had supper at White Castle, they are open 24 hours with breakfast fro 4AM to 10:30. Hamburgers are 41c each, small onion chips $1.29 so that was $3.75 for 6 hamburgers and one onion.
