Clear. So cold we had heat awhile this morn. Wendi & I went to Penn. I got a Senior Citizen card and we went to the new bank opening. Stopped at the Cas Walker stores. Canned some apples this eve. Was up to Jennings a while.
Footnote by Pat: so cold in 1979 but in 2012 it is 99 degrees in Cincinnati - new record yesterday and will be another one today. Wendi is her granddaughter and Penn is Pennington Gap, a small town about 8 miles west. Cas Walker is a famous citizen of the area and he had grocery stores. Jennings is her oldest brother. I just found a list of birthdates and Jennings was born March 16, 1909. He was the first child born to Martin and Lula Baker Reasor. Her father, Martin (Pappy) was born May 4, 1882 and her mother, Lula Baker (Mamie) was born July 7, 1883. They were married in June of 1907.
The last surviving child of Martin and Lula is Edith Reasor Shuler, my mother. She will be celebrating her 93rd. birthday on July 16. She is still living in her home alone, paying her bills, cooking and in charge of her own medicine. Sharp as a tack, reads novels all day, loves Amish stories, works puzzles and watches Jeopardy. She walks to the mailbox everyday and loves to get cards, letters and phone calls. So all you cousins out there, this is probably your oldest living relative , send her a little love - she will love it. 909 Edgewood Circle Kingsport, TN 37663 423-239-4652
I see also on this list of birthdates that Jennifer Ely Collins has a birthday on July 14 (she is Estelle's oldest granddaughter) . Also, Kimberly Zubke had a birthday July 3- Barry Zubke's daughter and Barry is Lucille's son. Lucille is Estelle's sister. Brian Somers birthday is July 8. Brian is Norma Zubke Somers' son and Norma is Lucille's daughter. (I think this looks like something you would read in a column in the Big Stone Gap Post) Enjoy!!!!
