Roberta is inspiration
HH's Diary 1989-1999 [lightly edited]
Sunday 1989 - [Cross-country bike ride San Diego to Jacksonville continues through May 5]
Monday 1990 - Mother seemed real good, sat up for several hours. Pam Anthony started staying from 1 to 6. Joann Rankin from 11PM to 7AM and Kathy McIntosh the rest of the time.
Tuesday 1991 - Called MUH, they hope to be here in early May, they are in rut. The men served the NVUMW group, around 100+ people I was there from 3 to 9. Hard wind and rain about 4:30. Jean getting Living Room and Dining Room curtains cleaned, getting rooms repainted [by] Chas Lewis and Terry.
Thursday 1992 - [Roberta leaves] Took Roberta to Columbus airport. She was flying on a ticket she bought through a newspaper ad. Roberta is a good inspiration for GHU. Had supper at the Cracker Barrel, then 59¢ yogurt cup at Yummers. My greens and ham ($2.89) came with a huge Vidalia onion and it was edible.
Saturday 1994 - [Roberta visiting] John, Julie, Kate and Roberta went to Cincinnati to see Jim Gooding and his recent purchase across the street from where he lives. Their [John and Julie?] car is turning 100,000 miles, an '86 model. The Crowsons have gone 64,000 miles in 14 months. International Day at Wilmington College. Jean is passing out cancer material.
Sunday 1995 - [Virginia to New Vienna] Drove to Morgantown WV, did see the Chi Omega House. Had big ice cream cone at a place on Rt. 209 north of I-70 [near Cambridge OH]. Tried to call John and Julie without success. Had a 4PM meal at Cracker Barrel, over 200 restaurants in 23 states [in 2009 had 594 locations in 41 states]. Got home about 5:30.
Wednesday 1997 - Jean had Women's Club program at Wooden Spoon, program was on "baths." Putting data into Quicken program. Was 19 degrees this am. Put For Sale sign out in front of GHU's, asking $94,900.
Thursday 1998 - More rain, bad tornadoes in Alabama. Maundy Thursday services at Church. Started Tom McMillian's [?] estate, he was 54.
Friday 1999 - [Home from Portugal/Spain trip] Four stalks of asparagus up. Mowed the high spots of grass.
Added in 2010: HH says he well remembers the Portugal/Spain trip -- they rented the car in Lisbon, drove to Salamanca to visit Nancy Walker and then made a big swing through southern Spain and back to Lisbon. Only car available was a stick shift and parking was practically non-existent. Also, for those wondering about Grandma (GHU) she entered Heartland on February 4, 1991, so 1990 would have been the year she had (mostly) full time help at home.
