August 21, 1979, Tuesday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear, cloudy, rain.  A very hot day.  I took Aunt Rosalee to the store early.  Later made some tomato juice.  Reba & Curt were here awhile. 




Footnote by Pat:    Aunt Rosalee is Rosalee Baker, wife of Millard Baker who was the half-brother of Lula Baker Reasor, Estelle's mother.    Millard Baker had lost most of his eyesight by now and he couldn't drive.  I doubt that Aunt Rosalee ever drove a car.    Reba is her sister-in-law and Curt is her brother-in-law.  They both live close by.     Looks like Wendi might have gone back to school by now as she doesn't mention her being there now.  

I was a Leah's last night for a good dinner and she has a garden full of tomatoes.  I said we should be making tomato juice, that is what Aunt Estelle is doing now in her writings.    I picked a shirt tail full of red and yellow tomatoes and then Hope got a basket and picked till the basket was full.   We all brought some home.  Leslie is  home for a few days - she has just finished the first quarter of her last year of radiology school.  Hopefully she will be finished in May.   She helped me with the show that was in Lexington this past weekend.    Dave and Rachel were there for dinner  too.  Max is back in school, 10th grade and we think he is doing OK.    I asked him and he said, "I already discussed that with Mom and that is all I'm going to talk about it."     We don't get much info from him.   He did show me the things he is learning in Geography by showing me the world globe and where he lives.   Today is my last day with Hope - I have been keeping her from 11:00 - 2:00 , Mon - Thur.  while Rachel works.   We have had a good summer together and I am sorry it is over so soon.  She goes to 2nd. grade tomorrow.
