Georgalia joined us for supper, Stan is 57. She said the daughter-in-law from Kenya is more like her than her two daughters, one has been taking movies of local scenes.
Wednesday 1997 - Took the afternoon off, put up storm windows and planted evergreen and the red maples around the yard, mostly on far end across the street. Roger Bahr came over and got our email icon back on the screen. Ed Johnson is pastor at Belfast, Folsom, and ________ UMCs.
Thursday 1998 - Flu shots today. Jean worked at the Senior Center. Hinshaws came about 5, we had expected them at 4 as we had made reservations at Murphin Ridge for 5:30 so called them again. We did get there about 6 and had a very good dinner. $68 for the four of us and we each had cider (refillable) for $1.50 each, plus we had a total of two desserts. They had been hiking in the Edge of the Appalachia Preserve near Lynx - Buzzardroost Rock.
Friday 1999 - [to Kentucky] Drove to Somerset. Halloween party at UMC. MV went to activity at Richmond. Christian can really holler when his Mother leaves. We spent the night there, a real challenge to get to the bathroom with all the clothes hanging on the door.

LOL. I had forgotten about the half bath off the Laundry room in Somerset. It was an obstacle course to get in there.
