July 31, 1979, Tuesday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear, cloudy, rain.  Fog early, a little shower thru the day.  Wendi & I took Aunt Rosalee to the store this morning and to Pennington this evening.  I shampooed the rugs after Wendi went home. 



Footnote by Pat:   Wendi is her well-travelled granddaughter.  Aunt Rosalee is the wife of Millard Baker and he is the half-brother of Lula Baker Reasor, Estelle's mother.    Pennington is   the town West of Deep Springs about 8 miles. 

In the book I have, there is a "Special Data" page at the end of each month.  This is what she wrote at the end of July:     Aug. 1, 1979. Elmer Bowling announced he was quitting our church.  Sure hurts me.  They joined at Dryden.  Wish them lots of luck. 

the next entry reads:    Aug. 7, 1979.  Rosemary, Greg & Shanna came.  Also Redge, Jennifer & Leisha all was there Tues. nite, Wed nite, Thurs nite and Redge's family left. 

Footnote on Special Data:     Elmer Bowling was a neighbor and fellow church member.  She loved her church and was upset by any disagreements.  Dryden is a small town 5 miles West of Deep Springs.  Dryden is where the school was and I guess there were churches there too.     
Rosemary is her daughter who lives in Hobbs, New Mexico and always came once a year at least to visit.  Greg and Shauna are Rosemary's children and Estelle's grandchildren.  Redge is her son who lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Jennifer and Leisha are his children and Estelle's grandchildren.
