Dad's Diary 1988-1999 [lightly edited]

Tuesday 1988 - Took our Honda to Honda East for 3500 mile checkup.  Ate lunch at Arby's at the mall.  Still practicing on the piano.  I'm rough on Kum-ba-ya.

Wednesday 1989 - [Phoenix] Lunch at Carl Jr's in the mall.  Visited Heard Museum.  All family ate at El Torito, near mall, $104.83.  [Metrocenter, closed within the last couple years but has reopened as a Mexican restaurant with an un-rememberable name.]

Thursday 1990 - About 5" of snow fell, Jean has cold.

Friday 1991 -Don, MV and we met Serena at 5:45 at the Golden Lamb, early dinner special until 6:30, but you must ask for it, $7.95, other dinners $12.95 to $17.95, ice cream $1.75.  Lock box opening at Leesburg on R. Saunder estate.  Another beautiful day.

Sunday 1992 - [to Danville OH vis Newark] Leaving with the Baileys, Everett and Ann, to go to the White Oak Inn in Danville, Ohio.  Went to church with John and Julie at Springhill Baptist Church, a mile east of Granville, then lunch at the China Place near their house.  On to Roscoe Village, $8 each and a snack at the Warehouse Restaurant, then to White Oak Inn.  We were in the Cherry Room, $70/night.  Had brochure from Red Roof, their 20th year, rates then were $8.50 for a single.

Monday 1993 - Busy day at the office.

Tuesday 1994 - [Phoenix]

Wednesday 1995 - John, Julie and Kate left about 11:30 as were to meet a friend in Xenia at 12:30.  GG called from FL at 5:05, guess to see how we were getting along.  Per the paper this Christmas season has been one of the worst for retailers.

Friday 1996 - [Phoenix to Las Vegas] Left with Wendy and Petra [exchange student from Switzerland] for Las Vegas, 297 miles.  Room 1273 at the Luxor, we were the farthest point from the 2 elevators.  Buffet supper was $8.01.  Lunch was Denny's in Kingman.  Ugh.

Saturday 1997 - [Kentucky]

Monday 1999 - [Kentucky to home] Left Somerset, went to Public Library on 5-Mile Road, then to lunch at Bill Knapps, more showers.  Stopped in Batavia for Leach O.E.T. [Ohio Estate Tax] and by the time we got home had about 1" of snow.  Carolyn R. told me she is not too happy with Wells management.
