Saturday 1991 - Met the Sankers and rode bikes from Milford to Loveland and had picnic lunch there by the old RR station. 21.9 miles round trip, temperature in the 40s. Then went with them over to Lowell & Pam Sanker's house in Montgomery. Their son Ben is 2½ and does he have the toys – all from the garage sale.

Saturday 1996 - [Trip to Australia and New Zealand through 11/22]
Sunday 1997 - [Kentucky] We all went to Trinity UMC, then to Joseph Beth Book Store. It was a disaster at Cracker Barrel as one of our tables never got served in an hour, after complaining, finally got it as take-out food. Kate and Ginny enjoyed the pool.
Monday 1998 - Otterbein had luncheon at Samuel Walkers, they are building 60 new houses. Haven't found Lyle Sheffield's will yet, calling hours for him at the UMC, what a turn out. Went to Dr, cut back on medicine. Martinsville [UMC] weekly need of $731.85. Their attendance of 54. NV had 89 yesterday.
Tuesday 1999 - What a day with Patty Lynch, Jo Ellen Uhl, Grant Douglass and then to Cape May at 4pm for a tour of Mt. Pleasant. There were 15 of us. Board Members and guests, a big facility, though we were not impressed with the meal – small cup of soup, skimpy Greek salad with choice of Beef Stroganoff or Cheezy Chicken and rice and dessert. Sarah Boehn is the Adm. there. She was at Wilmington Extended Care for 10+ years, still looks young, though she has 14-year-old son. The "Chef" there looked like a high school gal but said she had been there 10 years. Had email from Mares about next July at Shenandoah for four nights starting 7/1/00. Got two new lamp bowls [bulbs?] at Ace Hardware.
