July 29, 1979, Sunday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear.   Hot.  We had a visiting preacher today a Mr. Hallmark and we did like him. Janice & Wendi were home.  We went to the Magic Mart.  Had fellowship supper tonite.  Didn't have such a big crowd but sure had a good supper and enjoyed the supper.  Edith & Roy stopped.  They had taken Leah & Rachel home thru the weekend. 


Footnote by Pat:    Never heard of Mr. Hallmark, he must have been "visiting".   Janice is her daughter and Wendi is her granddaughter.   Magic Mart is a variety store near Pennington Gap, Va., about 8 miles West of Deep Springs.   Wouldn't you like to have one of those suppers to go to tonight?  They had the best desserts.    Edith is her younger sister and Roy is her  brother-in-law who live in Big Stone Gap.   Leah and Rachel are the granddaughters of Edith & Roy.   Leah and Rachel are my daughters and we live in Cincinnati.  During summer vacation, I would take the girls to visit my Mother and Daddy and the girls would stay with them for a couple weeks.  The girls were 10 & 8 years old in 1979.  Daddy would always do work around my house when they came to visit.   Leah & Rachel remember going to Aunt Estelles' house and drinking milk.  They loved that raw milk.
