Clear. I cleaned house all morning. Sold a load of hay about noon. Then we went to town. I visited Boots Allman who lost a Bro. this week We visited Mrs. Masters and Mrs. Otey a minute and up to Janice Gails awhile and back by Edith & Roy's awhile.
Footnote by Pat: Would love to know how much she got for the load of hay. Not what it was worth I'm sure. When she says we went to town, she means Big Stone Gap, Va., about 9 miles Northeast. Boots Allman is the next door neighbor of Ediths, they live in Big Stone Gap, Va. Boots was a good neighbor when I was growing up. She and Frank didn't have any children so she thought all the neighborhood children were hers. She was the first one in the door if someone was sick and she made the best pineapple pies ever. Mrs. Masters was also a neighbor of Ediths. If it is the same Grace Masters that I know, she lived across the street from Ediths and she lived with her Daddy, never married, worked in a Department store in town. May be a different Masters family though as she knew a lot of people in Big Stone. I have heard of Mrs. Otey but don't know anything about her. Janice Gail is her youngest daughter. Edith is her youngest sister and Roy is Edith's husband (my Mother and Daddy). Aunt Estelle would come down the driveway to our house and always come in the back door. She would just show up. I remember Aunt Estelle loved chocolate chip cookies that Mother made and when she ate them, she would pick out the chocolate chips and just eat the cookie. Mother didn't like it when she did that. Oh, the silly things we remember.
