Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Friday 1990 - [New Vienna to Wilmore KY for Mary and Don's wedding] Left at 10:15 in the two vans. Had GHU in the wheel chair but she kep sliding down, much better in the regular van seat. Lunch at Cracker Barrel near Georgetown, exit 126. Got tux en route, rental was $57.50. We had room 40 in the Rosa Beeson Manor [now Asbury Inn], brand new. Had rehearsal at 6PM followed by a catered picnic at 7:30. GHU holding up real well. Nice visit with the Zooks.
Saturday 1991 - Hortons arrived, we all went over to see Mother at 6PM, she was wide awake. For supper we went to Frontier Steak House. Picked another hand full of asparagus.
Monday 1992 - We went to the Renfro Valley program at the Murphy Theatre, a little went a long way.
Wednesday 1994 - Finally made some garden, planted onions.
Thursday 1995 - Still wet, our peas and lettuce are dong great. We went square dancing. Herschel A. never shy for words. He has had a recurrence of his cancer, goes to a Dr. Davidson in Fairfield, OH. Called MUH and she was just getting up. A late start for a drive to Ohio for her and Cris. Called Der Dutchman in Wanyesville for a reservation for Mother's Day, best we could get was at 3PM. Spiraea showing signs of whiteness.
Saturday 1996 - [Cris and MUH visiting] We were to meet John and Julie and the Ashcrafts at Youngs Dairy Bar (change from the Winds Cafe which was good) at 1:30. Bob and Bev Gooding and Lisa were there. Kate and Ginny enjoyed feeding the goats, etc. The Ashcrafts left without the rhubarb we took, but did find each other in Yellow Springs. Some wild haircuts there. On way home we stopped at Aldi's – Cris DID NOT like the place – the 25¢ for the cart, bags 10¢ and you had to bag your own groceries, no wonder he has high blood pressure.
Sunday 1997 - [Mother's Day] Had "lunch" in Wilmington at new place on East Sugartree, $1.50 each, food was OK but service pretty erratic. Jean got two pairs of shoes at Walmart, plus bulb for new Howler [Hoover?], noticed it last week. Looked over the Amerihost Motel in Wilmington, they have a room with a huge whirlpool in the room.

Theater there is now open and the [attached] Bistro Gigi is getting ready to open.
Friday 1998 - Took Walter Schult to OSBA meeting in Dayton, got in 6 hours credit. More rain. Walter is 80. They are trying to sell their house for $180,000 and move into a smaller house. More rain. More problems with Dragon Internet. Article in WNJ how they [the WNJ? or Dragon Internet?] are going to have a security person on duty since they have had two problems this past week.
Saturday 1999 - [Newark to New Vienna] After breakfast in the room [Kate spent the night] we went for a swim, to the playground, and then to search for the ducks. Article in last Sunday's NYT about Pittsburgh and about traveling in southern India. Went to Touch of Love for sandwiches, run by Lori. Kate's 6th Birthday Party started at 2PM. They had worked hard to have the outside spruced up and then the dark clouds kept most of us inside. Left about 4PM, a stop at Leggs where Jean got some hose, supper at Wendy's. Got to the C.J. Moore's about 7PM, he is now the Sabina Village Administrator. Had tickets at the Murphy 80th Anniversary for a Gershwin program. Refreshments at Frisch's afterwards. Bob Evans closes at 10PM, Frisch's at midnight. ElderHostel US and Canada update issue arrived. Got annual survey [or summary] from CMH and Otterbein Home.

Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Monday 1990 - Serena arrived home. 25 years ago item in WNJ "Lions Club house opened."
Friday 1993 - [Newark]
Saturday 1994 - [to Newark] Drove to Newark for Kate's 1st birthday party. She likes to push the little baby buggy. For supper we went out and got some take out Chinese food. She got a nice Little Tykes wagon.
Sunday 1995 - We ate at Bob Evans, then to Extended Care. Pearle Halpin has been there about 3 months. Then to Ruth Shoemaker's, she wondered if Roberta was coming. Then to DQ where we used the Entertainment book to get 1 free shake. Ran into the Donald Bernard's there. Our little oak tree out front got bent over.
Tuesday 1996 - Park National seminar in Lancaster, their 4th annual, $20, a real deal. Sat next to Harold __________, Trust Dept. from Mansfield. John Guard was also there. More rain. Ginny gets upset when she thinks about her Mother and Dad. The TV gets her settled down. Jean, Roberta and Wendy [probably should be Ginny] met Serena at Chili's for lunch and then took Serena to the airport for her flight to London.
Wednesday 1997 - John Johnson, Fire Dept. Chief had the program, 12 members present. Think Orville and Josephine are worn out with John and his family living there. Crowsons called us, Ginny was excited that she is going to have a brother or sister in December.
Friday 1999 - [to Newark] Left here about 3:00 after Jean got home from Sabina church meeting. Had room 133 facing the inside at Cherry Valley Lodge, $99. Went to Trout Farm for supper, then a swim at the hotel. Kate stayed with us.
