Sunday 1992 - There were 20 of our family at church, then we went to the Wooden Spoon, $5.95 each.  Joe came back in another car with our car keys so we had to call him and he came back and got us.  After supper we went for a walk out to the end of Cemetery Rd and back, 2 miles.  Then watched video of John and Julie's wedding.  John and Julie brought me a plaid tie - Joseph A. Banks.  Ed's message: "Who are we trying to impress?"  Galatians 1:1-10.
