August 11, 1979, Saturday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear, cloudy, rain .    It was real cloudy early and cleared.  I dried clothes outside.  About the middle of the eve it rained and rained awful hard around us.  Janice & Wendi,  Judy & Andy and Maude Hyatt Ely were all in awhile.  I went down to the grocery store awhile. 



Footnote by Pat:     Janice is her daughter and Wendi is her granddaughter.  I don't know who Judy & Andy are but I think it might have been Judy Reasor, who was a neighbor , fellow church member and  and might have been a classmate of Janice.   Maude Hyatt was a neighbor.  She was married at one time to Paul Hyatt (I think that was his first name)  and he ran a filling station/grocery store,  It was about a mile from Estelle's house.  She and Maude might have grown up together - seems they might have been close in age.    I remember that they said Maude was still driving her car long after she should have stopped and she was quoted as saying, " Ah, nine times out of ten they won't hit you."    She must have married an Ely man later in life.  I do remember something about that but don't know who he was.            Sorry for the delay in publishing today,  I am working hard on new dolls, etc. in prepartion for a 2 day show in Lexington, Ky next weekend.  I'll be staying in Leslie's apt. with her and she will be helping me with the show.     Gotta get back to work right now.
