Aug. 2, 1979, Thursday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear.  I went to the garden early this morn.  Fixed some beans & corn.  This evening I felt like I was getting Bladder infection so went to the Dr. and he couldn't find a thing.


Footnote by Pat:    Knowing her, she was probably still worried about Elmer  Bowling leaving the church and made herself think she was sick.  Our minds can do strange things to us especially when we are worried.     I have a quote that I embroider on dolls:   "Worry is like a treadmill, it wears you out and gets you nowhere".       I know those beans and corn were good.  

Thanks to all the relatives and friends for the birthday wishes.  I was just thinking, I was 38 in 1979 when Aunt Estelle was writing in this book.  I was divorced in 1974 and Leah and Rachel were 10 & 8 years old in 1979.  I was working as a travel agent and took the girls on our first cruise about this time of year in 1979.    Not easy raising the girls alone and not much financial help but we did it and have no regrets.
