August 14, 1979, Tuesday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear, coolish.  Wendi & I took Aunt Rosalee to grocery store today.  over by Betty's for milk.  Rosemary & Shanna are spending the night with Janice for she is on call duty. 



Footnote by Pat:      Wendi is her granddaughter.  Aunt Rosalee is her aunt by marriage - she is married to Millard Baker, half-brother to  Lula Baker ( Estelle's mother).    Betty is the woman with all the cows it seems.  Rosemary is her daughter who is visiting from Hobbs, New Mexico and Shanna is  Rosemary's daughter.   Shanna was born Jan. 7, 1965 so she was about 14 years old on this visit.    Rosemary made the trip from Hobbs, New Mexico to Deep Springs, Va. - I don't know how many miles but must have taken 3 days of driving- every year for as long as her Mother and Daddy were living.    She still comes for reunions when we have them.    In the back of this journal, there is a complete list of dates of every visit Rosemary made.       Janice is Estelle's youngest daughter who lives in Big Stone Gap and works at the Lonesome Pine Hospital.  When she was on call, she had to stay close to the hospital.  She worked in the operating room at one time, not sure if that was where she was in 1979.
