1969 Hawaii: Details in Peace Corps Journal.
1975 Thomases brought us to Shreve, Ohio, "One of Ohio's Loviest Towns". Had lunch at Des Dutch Essenhaus, an Amish restuarant. I had a trail bolgna sandwich and a coconut/oatmeal pie. We went in search of parched corn. Checked out the Wooster Agricultural research Station and found out about Dutch Elm disease from Dr Wilson and a couple researchers. Had tea with Bette's aunts, Lois (85) and Ella (92). Lovely house on a brick road. Saw Pennsylvannia Dutch Hex signs on barns. Roofs are sheet metal; makes sense being so many steel mills in Cleveland. Played perquaky when we got home.

1983 Sa - Dad told me how he was captured by Russians. Radio snow report. Watched Televisions Greatest Commercials IV.
1993 Aldies over at 6:30PM for Harveys and Freddys. They gave me a book on rock, a rock magazine, a Goofy figurine and Doug a card for me on the computer. Gave Trish the scrapbook of our correspondence and they loved it. Played them a tape they had made back in 1982. Porterhouse for a lovely meal.
1997 W - Yukiko spent the day with Gail at Kelvin Road School.
2005 Cappels over for lunch and visit while sipping a Selak 2005 Sav Blanc. Kids discovered the pool table and left us alone. Was a chance for Steph to get together with them and talk about Trevor. There was a Grape pop spill to be handled with our super sponge.
2007 Paid rates ($1800), car reg ($183) and filled car ($48). The netting over the pond hasn't detracted the ducks who still enjoy a float.
2008 Paid rates ($1887). While I was out Bev, Colleen and Dossie visited Gail.
2010 F - Drove along the Esplanade and then through a large development at Pelican Waters in Caloundra. Made it easily to the airport and settled up with Alicia at Budget-Rent-A-Car. Moved to departures area where we had a meal before checking-in. Good flight. Landed in Auckland at midnight and met up with Ne at 12:45AM.
