Clear, Hot. We went to grocery store. The men went to Penn. Roy & Edith & Reba, Maudie Ellen & Lizzie were all here. The kids went to town tonite and Millard, Rosemary, Redge & I rode to Dryden & back to Janice Gail's a minute.
Footnote by Pat: I am guessing "the men" was probably Millard (her husband), Redge (her son) and Carey Drew (her son-in-law) and maybe Greg(her grandson). Roy and Edith are her sister and brother-in-law who live in Big Stone Gap. Reba is her sister-in-law who lives nearby. Maudie Ellen and Lizzie were neighbors too. The "kids" were probably Jennifer, Leisha (Redge's girls) and Greg and Shauna (Rosemary's children). Don't think they would take Wendi go as she is "too little". Do you think they just rode around town and maybe went to the Country Boy if it was still there. Don't know when they closed the Country Boy Drive around restaurant and swimming pool. We had some good times in that swimming pool and some great picnic lunches on the ground when we were all little. A sad note about that pool, when intergration started in the 60's, Mr. Gardner filled the pool with dirt as he didn't want the black kids in his pool. They all rode to Dryden which is about 7 miles to the West and then drove back past their house to go to Big Stone Gap - 9 miles East to visit with Janice Gail - the youngest daughter. Something to do on a hot Thursday night.
