Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Thursday 1989 - Mares, Robert and Wes arrive.
Friday 1990 - [Turkey]
Saturday 1991 - [Wendy visiting] We met John and Julie at Deer Creek for supper, nice get together. Julie plans to move her things back from Chicago this next Saturday. Double room, $82 + 12.5% tax. John gave me a tape – Adolph Coors IV: My Father's Son. "Life does not shout, it just runs out, sooner than we think." Strawberries over, cherries here now and raspberries soon.
Wednesday 1994 - [Morehead (after Don's Ordination) to Georgetown KY to home] MV also brought breakfast. Visited Library in Georgetown, nice new addition, then a short visit with Chester and Polly Greene, he is a runner – 1 mile in 8 minutes. We had lunch at the restaurant near the Golf Course, nothing extra. At A&M picked strawberries, 70¢/lb if you pick them, $1 if they pick, so make about $4/hour in picking. The Greenes are going to Australia next month and to England in November.
Saturday 1996 - [ElderHostel program to Czech Republic, Austria and Hungary, returning 6/22]
Sunday 1997 - Had lunch at Ponderosa in Wilmington, then to CMH to see Elvis Wigit, really unconscious. Saw Ed and Jean Kantner [?] at Ponderosa, she had been to Victoria, B.C.
Monday 1998 - [Washington DC to Williamsburg] After breakfast we came down 23rd St. to Arlington Cemetery and the Iwo Jima Memorial. In Richmond we looked up where Sid used to live and work. Gas 97.9¢. Liquid snack at McDonald's. To Williamsburg at 4pm. John and Julie were just ahead of us. Morgans came over. The Crowsons got here at 6:30; MUH, Joe and Serena about 8pm. Our supper, here in the lodge was strung out from 6-9pm. We're in room 4411.
