Friday 1989 - [Kentucky to home] MV had weight watchers items for our lunch. I visited the new Lexington Public Library in the AM. We left about 3pm, had supper at Bob Evans near Eastgate, gas 92.9¢.

Sunday 1991 - [Santa Fe NM] Joe's choir group sang at the Unitarian Church in Albuquerque, the speaker on whether the test showed we were introvert or extrovert. Earlier we drove out to where the balloons were landing and were invited to an instruction program. The fellow was "primed" in an unusual plane. Had lunch at Maria Teresa's in Old Town. Joe's gallery there is really off the main tourist circuit. Ice cream for supper, Haagen-Dazs and Ben and Jerry's (much nicer) though each was $1.75 a dip. Joe needs some new chairs.
Tuesday 1992 - We went to Wilmington, had 3 appointments there, item in Sunday's NYT on Guatemala. Ate at Donatos, new pizza place, where Hardees used to be. Had about finished eating when
Wednesday 1993 - Heartland called us about 7am about GHU's condition. Went over there, they had put her on oxygen and her color was better. I went back about 5pm. She wasn't breathing as hard, just resting peacefully. She passed away about 7:15pm. Sadie had been there all day. [See below for timeline.]
