When Cindy and Elizabeth are talking to Ike and Corabeth at the store counter, the ends of Cindy's hair are dyed pink. This is most apparent in the final shot of the scene.

Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] The absence of a loved one can make the days seem endless and the nights all the darker, especially in spring when the weather is gentle and moonlight stirs the heartstrings. During my mother's illness our family sorely missed her presence, and without her my father was a lonely, vulnerable man.
