Changes

Lauren begins to make several of the meals on the cards.  She discovers that she is actually a very good cook (even secretly providing desserts for the volunteers at Glory's Place) and asks Gloria about teaching cooking classes there.  She notices that a few of the cards mention a dairy farmer named Bud; she decides to track him down, to see if he may know who owned the cards previously.  Ultimately she is able to track him down; he doesn't recognize the handwriting but notices a picture of who he remembers as Gigi.

At a dinner party, the two time sequences are linked: the Gigi of 1972 is, in fact, the Andrea of 2002 (that was her name in childhood, but she didn't like it, so when she got older she made people stop using it), and John and Joan are her parents (and have come to town to visit; Joan survived her 1972 bout with cancer).  Andrea recognizes the recipe cards and the table: the table was accidentally sold in a moving sale and thought to be lost.

But one final reunion awaits: Larry comes over with some boxes for the upcoming Glory's Place fundraiser; John recognizes him as the same Larry who he met in the hospital 40 years earlier.  Joan tells Larry that their meeting led both of them on a search to discover God and Jesus.  Lauren returns the recipe cards and the table to Andrea; in return, John and Larry agree to furnish a new table for Lauren and Travis.
