Clear. Hot. We have Wendi. I swept the floors. Lillie Davis brought me some Blackberries. I made Jam. Late she & James mowed the lawn. I worried all night and didn't sleep because Elmer Bowling announced he was quitting the church. I wonder if he is doing right.
Footnote by Pat: Wendi is her granddaughter. Lillie Davis must be a neighbor, I don't remember her or James. Elmer Bowling must have been a good church member and friend. I don't know why he would "announce" that. Why wouldn't he just quit coming to that church? Maybe he was a Deacon or had an important position in the church.
Some birthdates, etc. for August: My birthday is Aug. 2, 1941 - I am soooo old. Betty Jean Reasor Gay was born on Aug. 16, 1935. She was the first grandchild born in the 3rd. generation. Sadly, she died Sept. 30, 2008. Martin Allen Gay was born Aug. 20, 1968. He is the son of Betty Jean and Fred Gay and the grandson of Jennings and Elizabeth Reasor. I think he grew up in Arkansas but not sure where he is now. Smith Kevin Reasor married Linda Louise Kinder on Aug. 20, 1988. Smith is the youngest son of Ruth and Everette Reasor. He grew up in the "old homeplace" in Deep Springs, Va. He and his family live in Rural Retreat (I think), Va. Becky Gay White was born Aug. 31, 1957. I am sorry that I don't know Becky's full name - I think it is Rebecca but not sure. She lives in or near Little Rock, Arkansas now. She is the first great-grandchild born making her the first of the 4th. generation. She is the daughter of Betty Jean and Fred Gay and the granddaughter of Jennings and Elizabeth Reasor. On Aug. 7, 1980, Elizabeth Reasor died. She had been sick for some time. She is the wife of Jennings and they lived most of their life in Flint, Michigan. After Jennings retired from Chevrolet, they moved back to Deep Springs where they had a house trailer set on a piece of the Reasor land. They seemed to be very happy there and my Daddy loved having Uncle Jennings there to go with him to feed the cows and work in the garden . Uncle Everette and Uncle Jennings both died in the yard of the "old homeplace" - both of heart attack. Have a good August - try to stay cool!!!
