Sunday 1993 - [to Kentucky with Ginny] We met the Crowsons at London KY for lunch at 3pm.  I went with Don to Pleasant View, while Jean and Ginny went with MV to Somerset.  Gas in Williamsburg was 67.9¢ [this is tied with 2/15/99 in Georgia for the lowest gas price noted between 1989-99].

Tuesday 1995 - Electricity off at Wells for about 2 hours, lots of ice on trees, our corner tree fell over.  Jean had twig meeting in Wilmington.

Thursday 1996 - [Kentucky to home] Took Ginny to school, then to Candy (the babysitter), out past Oakwood Baptist Church.  Ate at Boone Tavern, service rather spasmodic and dirty plates did not move too fast.  Bought two games at Toy Shop on Short Street [in Berea].  Had supper at McDonalds in Blanchester, has been open four years.  Card from Gertrude Waits [1905-2003], she is 91.  The Crowsons have a dog, Samantha, who loves to upset water and food bowl.  Got haircut in Somerset, $6.
