Cloudy, rain. Cool at morning, cloudy and light rain by night. Janice & Wendi come this evening and we went down to Pearl's a bit. Rained all night.
Footnote by Pat. Janice is her daughter and Wendi is Janice's daughter. Pearl is Pearl Reasor Barkley. When I was visiting with Mother last week, Janice and Stephen Reasor came to visit on Sunday and we had a conversation about Pearl. If I remember this right, Pearl is a first cousin to Aunt Estelle. Pearl's mother was Rebecca Reasor who was a sister to Martin (Pappy) Reasor, Aunt Estelle's daddy. Pearl and her husband W.L. lived with Rebecca in a big house on a hill about halfway between Deep Springs and Woodway. Those are two very small villages in Southwest Virginia. W. L. was a business man and ran a business out of the house, we can't remember just what the business was but he was successful. I remember the land had beautiful grape vines but don't remember if they made wine. Also don't know how Pearl meet him as he was from Pennsylvania, I think. The house was big and had a library and an office. There was a china cabinet full of beautiful dishes. Outside there was a spring house where they kept the milk and butter. The spring house was made of concrete and had water running thru it. That kept everyting very cold. It was a lovely home.
