Sept. 13, 1979, Thursday Aunt Estelle wrote

Cloudy, rain.    Tried to rain all day.  We didn't get up early this morn.  I went to Lizzie's for eggs and after lunch I went to Big Stone to visit Malissa at the hospital but she was gone.  Visited with Edith awhile. 


Footnote:    Lizzie is her neighbor who has a lot of chickens I guess.   Big Stone Gap is a town about 9 miles northeast of Deep Springs.  Malissa Reasor is her cousin, not sure just how she is related.  Edith is her sister who lives in Big Stone. 

More information on yesterday's writing.   Redge sent a comment about the pumpkins and potatoes.    He said she didn't put the pumpkins in the building and that she put the potatoes in the potato bin.     So Redge, can you  let us know where she would put a trailer load of pumpkins.    Was the potato bin in that cinderblock building?   I remember shelves of canned goods .   Like to go in there right now and get a can of green beans to cook for supper today.        I remember Daddy Shuler had a smokehouse where he kept the hams hanging.   Did Aunt Estelle have any meat that she kept anywhere but in the freezer?
