Back to Months

14th	15th	16th
1969	Hawaii: Details in Peace Corps Journal.
1974	Wilkins in Pukekohe doing potatoe inspections, so he came by to spend the night. I had to go to the Y to act as head judge in the case of Gail Lamb's basketball behaviour. The jury with me were Keith Stobie and Bev Reid. Interviewed the people seperately and wrote down their statements. Walked into town with Peter and then we spent the rest of the evening listening to my albums.	Wilkins
1975	Brought crib to Hansen's for one month old Gwen. Played nerf football. After supper we played pinochle. "Cat" wouldn't have anything to do with David, who was entralled with Gwen.
1980	Sa - Brought Aldies to Taylors Falls via Hudson, Wisc. Spent an hour climbing the rocks. Had a "picnic" lunch and wondered if we were the last to do so in Minnesota. Celebrated Doug's birthday with Twinkies, Hostess cupcakes, Suzie Q's and Sno Balls. Doug found a hockey stick. Drove up to visit Streasicks for 2 hours at Milacs. Chuck had some venison curing. Ice on lake. Back home we looked at Aldies' photo.
1985	F - Gail dug the glass sliver (9mm x 2mm) out of her foot after the sore burst. Been in her foot for 18 months and moved quite a bit from where it went in.
1986	Sa - Went to St Mary's fund raiser with Clarks and Sanders. Dancing followed by skit by the PTA about being over 40. Kathy was in it as a rock 'n roller wearing Ne's space-age punk sunglasses. "The Money or the Bag" run by Cliff Bingham that was so bad it was great. Mike Sanders won a curling iron without having to answer any questions. Staff did a song dressed as pupils. Samoans put on a dance. Vince, Mark B and the new caretaker pranced around to a song dressed as school girls and showed their undies a lot. Mike C was the last one to go up and he played a fool with a straight face - won a set of bowls. Big farce over the grand prize as no one could answer the questions. Had chow (very good '82 Lehmann Shiraz Cab) at midnight and got home around 1AM.	Cliff
2008	Whites showed up at 1PM for a lunch. Mini Whites figured out how to play Master Brain game that they gave me for my birthday. When the last of the clan was leaving out the back door, Vicki was coming in the front, with a quiche.
2010	M - Put the car into the garage for the first time in the 12.5 years that we have been here.
2011	T - Peg Sando came by for a meet and greet. Finished decorating the sunroom.
2013	F - Russell arrived around 2PM for a few games of cribbage. After supper (Olive Grove '08 Riesling) we walked the beach.
2019	F - Broke out Dominion Renaisance and played it four times. Turkish for supper then Alhambra. Ice creams (new lemon-lime one). When Ne left we taught David Carcassonne.
2023	W - 60 minute walk to Sandhurst. Gail is taking 3 or 4 naps each day. 34OC to deliver new Dyson vacuum, rebuild fence for cucumber, weed and prune. Then I finished building third shelf for the hot water cylinder cupboard with help from Lili.
