Sunday 1992 - [Easter] 148 at church, we brought GHU here for lunch. She is doing real good. Always problems with the Nusbaums re: keeping the front church door open. Mie Young called. [I always think of her father at Easter time as I remember that being the holiday where we first got to know him.]
