Wednesday 1989 - Jean and I went to Hillsboro on legal business – she "loves" (ha ha) to check titles. Left at 5pm, we were going to eat at Muggy but after looking at the menu changed our minds. Ate at Dockside 6. Light meals were $9.95, salad bar $1.95 extra. Still building multi-tier parking garage $1 first 30 minutes, then 75¢ for each additional 30 minutes.

Tuesday 1994 - After a stop in Wilmington we had lunch at Chester Road House, most specials were $8.95. Then to Dr. Hoffman office for a hearing test, we both have some hearing loss but not serious.

Ken Weller all excited about his 18 speed bike, he can now do 3 miles. Tom Young brought a limb mulcher, a 5hp, takes up to ½ stuff. Called MUH, said Lorraine Marks Bassato was at the same complex.
Monday 1999 - Took car to body shop on S. Rt. 247 in Hillsboro, GG brought me back. Had a call from Serena about 7:30am, she was getting ready to leave Asheville. Then a call about 6pm that she was in Clinton TN and would spend the night there. We went on a walk around Steele Ct, across the tracks and got a lot of trash. Pastor Mike's Dad operated on today. Our Bible School opened. Had our first broccoli out of the garden.
