Sunday 1993 - [Roberta visiting, to Newark and back] Serena, Roberta, and MUH went with us to Spring Hills Baptist Church (very new), just east of Granville. Katherine Elizabeth Uible was "dedicated." She was really dressed up. We had a buffet dinner at Granville Inn and then went to John and Julie's house, all the children gave me two tennis rackets and now if we could play the game. Made a stop at the mall at I-71 and 35, Jean got some children's books there. Had message on our answering unit that they had taken GHU to the hospital, we went over, they were not going to admit her. She is "out" more of the time. Sid is spending the weekend in Massachusetts as his daughter [Sarah] is celebrating her 50th birthday.

Learned how to center the internet screen. UMW breakfast, McCune spoke on Ephesians 5, husband and wife relationships.
Saturday 1998 - [Auburn IN to Chicago with Cris and Angela] What a wet day but really not a problem. Went first to new P.L., lots of history exhibits on the top floor. Then to art museum, had lunch in the cafeteria. Then to Cultural Center where we joined a tour group. Then to Marshall Fields and back to Library Gift Shop. Had dinner reservations at the Pump Room, very nice. We were there 2½ hours. Cris and Angela went to see "Beloved" at 9:30, a 3+ hour movie, said it was terrible.
