Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Sunday 1989 - MV called us. Don asked for our blessing about their getting married next Aug. 25, in Wilmore. He seems to be a nice person.
Monday 1990 - In Wilmington for Bowers appraisal, supper at CMH, then grocery shopping. Going through Gertrude Clark's things I found news clipping as follows: [Clipping attached: 142,700 PER CENT . . . Investing in Florida land has made many a people rich over the years and the big transaction this week in Hardee County where CF Industries Inc. acquired 19,555 acres for phosphate mining from the Stuart Bros. of Bartow is an example. The Stuarts were paid $101.5 million for the land, most of it pasture and ranch. That calculates to about $5,190 per acre. Later, while searching land records in DeSoto County (the Stuart land area of Hardee at one time was DeSoto), Tribute Heartland staffer Arch Abernethy, discovered that the father of J.K. and W.H. Stuart (the sellers of the land this week), acquired the property in 1906, most of it for the price of $3.50 per acre. That amounts to an estimated 142,700 per cent increase in investment, or, about 2,000 per cent per year for about 71 years. [Which would mean this clipping is from ~1977. – Great return on investment for sure!]
Tuesday 1991 - [Phoenix] Off to Green Valley at 5:45 with the Morgans, who would play golf while we visited with Milt and Kate Foster. Kate's sister, Sally and her 2nd husband came over for lunch. New factory mall at Casa Grande [now mostly empty stores]. Catherine got new pair of shoes there. Late supper at the Chinese Restaurant on 35th Ave.
Thursday 1992 - [Thanksgiving] Thanksgiving, brought GHU over at noon and took her back about 7pm. She enjoyed seeing Ginny, who now weighs about 18#. Cleaned the curb and cutter at GHU and the yard with the lawnmower.
Friday 1993 - [Newark to home, GHU funeral pending] Left Newark about 10:30. Julie had fixed us ham sandwiches with veggies which we ate en route home. Made some purchases at Big Bear in WCH plus a stop at the old fashioned bakery Jim Smith came over about 4:30 and went over the "details." Roberta brought Catherine down and also the new edition of Particular Places in Ohio. John and Julie brought Joe for he had had several changes of planes. Mares had driven from Boston to Lancaster where Larry started from. Cris and Angela picked up Bill and Mary. Cris and Angela left their children at home. Rob didn't get in gear early enough to come. [My recollection is that Rob claims Aunt Mary didn't tell them that Grandma had died until the night before when she asked if he would take them to the airport.]
Saturday 1994 - Hauled two loads of wood chips over to the Church. Went to Wilmington in the pick-up to get a book about Sol Wachtler – double life. Stop at Foster Haines, got a white shirt, Van Heusen "Editions" + two pairs of socks and a necktie, Robert Stock, $6.50 originally $20.
Sunday 1995 - [Lake Worth Florida] Went to SS (about 50 there). Bob Horsback [?] spoke. Rob and Cindy (17 and 14 years in teaching) took us to Lucille and Otley's for lunch. I walked to Gulf Station Hotel.
Tuesday 1996 - Cut our Christmas tree from across the street. Roberta called, spoke with Joe. He now has a gallery in Scottsdale. Got my right eye examined.
Wednesday 1997 - [to Newark] Drove to Newark, to Pond studio for which John had made appointment. This guy talks so much it is hard to know when he takes picture. Went to Church that PM with John, Julie and Kate. Went to Amish bakery near East Main.
Thursday 1998 - [Thanksgiving, Phoenix] Ate at Fiesta Inn in Tempe (same ownership as Cherry Valley Lodge). Very nice buffet. At Kings Sid showed us how he gets on the internet to check on the "obits" in Iowa.
Friday 1999 - Crowsons went at 9AM to see the Hannahs, then we all went to Wilmington to see Ruth and I went to the Court House. Had lunch at Young's Dairy. Ginny liked to feed the animals.

They have perpetual bulletins (no date) - topic WWGD, What would God do? Picture of boy with one piece of cake, would God multiply it into many pieces? Walked around outdoor museum and to the pool. Talked to fellow (his wife didn't join in) who was in the pool as their home is a Motor Home (a Continental) and they pull a convertible jeep behind. Went to Furnace Creek Inn for their Buffet, they really had some rare roast beef, $17.95 each. Went South past Golden Canyon and made Artist's Drive loop. The sun is behind the mountain at 4pm.

Wednesday 1990 - Mother has her bright moments, but so hard to get more than a yes or no from her. Will hold glass, but not feed herself. No control on going to bathroom. MV and Don arrived about 6 and John and Julie at 10pm. Got new Magnivox Radio, $22.95.
Thursday 1991 - [Mo-Ranch, Humble TX through 11/22]

On way back walked around Sand Dunes near Stovepipe Wells and Salt Creek Interpretive Trail. Didn't see any of those little fish. Surprising to see the water flowing.

Sunday 1999 - Pledge Sunday at Church with pot luck afterward. Still trying to reach Serena. Walked out past school and Apple Tree apartments.

On way back walked around Sand Dunes near Stovepipe Wells and Salt Creek Interpretive Trail. Didn't see any of those little fish. Surprising to see the water flowing. At 5:30 we were at Furnace Creek Inn for dinner, most entrees were $22 and up. Onion soup which came in a pastry shell was $7. Back to visitor center for 7pm show.
Sunday 1999 - Pledge Sunday at Church with pot luck afterward. Still trying to reach Serena. Walked out past school and Apple Tree apartments. Talked to Judy _________, Faymon Woods adopted daughter, they are going to Atlanta for Thanksgiving. Read in NYT where Atlanta has more traffic congestion (longer commutes) than any other urban area in the US.

Nov. 17, 1989-99 Wells sold
Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Saturday 1990 - [to Kentucky with Serena] We left at 7am with the van loaded with MV's things, met them at Wilmore and then on to Somerset, they had a U-Haul and a tow for Don's old car. Plenty of Church members there to help and they brought chili, etc. for lunch. In the PM we went to Waitsboro Inn.
Sunday 1991 - [Castroville to Humble TX] Drove to Humble, went to UMC and lunch at airport restaurant which is owned by Evelyn and her daughter. Checked in at Mo-Ranch, [Presbyterian Retreat] beautiful setting, we were in first room right next to office, in Pheasant Run. The courses most interesting. Good background for our future trip.
[Course synopsis attached: Mo-Ranch -- Hugging the banks of the Guadalupe River in one of the most beautiful settings in the Texas Hill Country, Presbyterian Mo-Ranch is 90 miles northwest of San Antonio. Swim, fish, canoe the spring-fed waters; play tennis and hike the trails of the 434-acre conference center which offers animal and bird watchers a rare opportunity. The ranch buildings are showplaces–a legacy from the original owner, an oil company president. Program Charge $280.
Courses:
Oddballs of the Bible: Introduce yourself to the ample accounts of unusual characters found in the Bible. Look at a number of these oddballs, including Gideon, Esther, Hezekiah, Balaam, Samson, Elisha and Paul.
Birth of the Bible: From Manuscripts to Publishers: Trace the formation and transmission of the biblical traditions from ancient manuscripts and translations to today's Bible. Learn the complex process by which biblical documents reached their final form.
Geography of New Testament Israel: Learn the geography of Jesus' ministry. Charts and maps based on recent research make the gospel account of the life of Jesus more understandable and meaningful.]
Tuesday 1992 - [Roberta leaves] Took Roberta back to Columbus airport. Supper at Ala Carte on 23, 33 N. High. [Does not appear to be a restaurant at that location now.] Had hummus, with pita bread and Jean had odd [or cold?] soup. $24 for the two of us.

Oct. 31, 1989-99 Halloween
Dad's Diary 1988-1999 [lightly edited]
Tuesday 1989 - Mother doesn't seem to be herself, no appetite and dizzy. Ed Johnson (our pastor) told me of his plans to retire.
Thursday 1991 - Hortons left for Lake Worth. GHU seems very good, even "yoo-hoo'd when the paper came. Burned the first leaves of the fall at Mothers. Lots of Trick or Treaters this evening. [Second entry, same date, possibly first part of this is 1990.] Used the lawnmower to mulch the leaves. Our last night on the ⃞ dance hospitality committee with Bob and Pat Miles. Jean went to Wilmington to work on Hospital Twig Cook Book.
Saturday 1992 - [Kentucky] Went to Williamsburg KY museum.
Sunday 1993 - Wade and Jan Roby moved out of parsonage, no forwarding address. Amazing that as a Dr. (PhD) he could not find a job, that he thought was a living wage, owes $800 for two months rent. [According to 9/13/93 post he was 59 and was either over qualified or too old for any job.]
Monday 1994 - [Phoenix AZ to home] We all had lunch at the Dial Building, the rounded edge building near McDowell on Central, very pretty and reasonable. We visited the P.L. until time to leave, they are to open new Central P.L. [now called Burton Barr Library] this next spring, a big contrast to the present one which opened in 1952 [which is now the Art Museum]. [The Carnegie Library operated as a library from 1908-1954, 46 years, then 43 years in the "old" library will make Phoenix due for another new library in about 2040!]
Tuesday 1995 - Saw ad in paper about cheap fares to Phoenix, $239 RT so made reservations for week of 1/13/96. SW also had $19 fare to Chicago. Got dark brown pair of Sass shoes from Roberta, $58 from factory outlet. Got a bunch of Sunday NYT travel sections from Catherine.
Friday 1997 - GG and Carolyn really dressed up for Halloween – "Always wanted to see what I'd look like as a blond reading the book The Millionaire Next Door."
Saturday 1998 - [to Columbus, Newark] Flint's tree trimming should be here per his visit on 8/26/98. Went to Columbus, Jean had meeting at Shrine Temple for UMW. I went on to Newark, 11am ground breaking for new library. Board had on one color of hard hats, the library staff another color, etc. We had lunch at McDonald's downtown. They took a TV out in the country, a lovely secluded spot in the woods [a tv? for what?, maybe "tour" instead]. They are still thinking of that travel business. We met John, Julie and Kate at Easton Mall still more building going up. Kate seemed very friendly. Had supper at Cookers. John got a big wall map for his birthday, located in Kate's "school room."
Sunday 1999 - [Kentucky] After church went to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch. Susan joined us as Rudy was on one of his 24 hour shifts. Ginny went for a swim in the pool, we were in Room 107 at the Comfort Inn. Back to church at 6pm where a Baptist group was also present. Then went for a snack at Wendy's. Somerset UMC budget is $462,922. Director of Music gets $34,280.
