Jim Gooding's House
Dad's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Thursday 1989 - [Cross-country bike ride San Diego to Jacksonville continues through May 5]
Friday 1990 - More rain.
Saturday 1991 - [to St. Clairsville OH and beyond] Left here about 2PM via Zanesville where we got an ice cream cone ($1.25) and got a loaf of raisin bread, 90¢ at Nickles Day Old Bakery, pretty good supper. Went to McClure Hotel in Wheeling, turned out everything was booked, some country music program on. Went back to St. Clairsville and got room at Hospitality Inn, Exit 218 for $47. Went square dancing in Bethlehem WV, $6 a couple.
Monday 1992 - Still wet, put out broccoli and about 1/2 of the new trees, mostly across the street near the road. Picked a big hand full of asparagus.
Tuesday 1993 - [Roberta visiting] Darren Stricker is 54 today. We went via Hamilton to see Serena then we went on in 2 cars to Jim Gooding's house on State Ave. in Cincinnati for supper. Jim has really made it a show place. ....got in a player piano -- fancy -- he likes loud music. What a rain en route. Bob, Bev and Lisa came. Mother complains of pain which is rare for her.
Wednesday 1994 - [England] Went to Bexhill, lost the bank card in the machine -- wrong # -- met Virginia in the Public Library and then tea when I ran into her on the street. She was nice to come to the hospital to see Jean and brought flowers. Cynthia and Murray also came several times to the hospital. Trying to get Jean to use the elbow crutches or a walker, she likes the latter. The hospital was free but for the walker and the x-ray.
Thursday 1995 - Went to Leadership Clinton board meeting, then went to Micro Mall after going back to NV, the repair job was done but not the new unit. [?] Had supper at Boston Chicken with the Sankers. We were there 1.5 hours Did get the old computer hooked up. Got sundaes at Blanchester McDonald's, 95¢. Got gas for 106.9¢, saw it as high as 118.9¢. Article in NYT about church architecture, i.e Willow Creek Church, Barrington IL; Rehoboth Baptist, Tucker GA; Holy Spirit Chapel Hill Harvester Church [has since changed name to Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, Decatur GA.
Saturday 1996 - Jean and I cleaned up sticks in back yard. Made hotel reservations for our Canadian trip. Greg Linkhart spoke at AM Men's Group.
Sunday 1997 - Mike Cowman spoke at church, then we went to CMH for monthly meeting. Dr. Charles Mesh [?] spoke on vascular surgery, clogged arteries. Went to College Library. Marjory Hale had a collection of bookmarks there. Saw new habitat house on Hawley Ave.
Monday 1998 - Busy day at the office. Trying to use the software program on Ohio Estate Tax. Got quarterly report on ABA retirement, big gain this past quarter, also report from Equitable. Mowed some of the grass for first time. More trouble with Dragon Internet.
