October 9, 1979, Tuesday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear, cloudy, rain.  I baked pies early.  Curt brought 10 chickens down and we dressed them.  He ate lunch with us.  I took Aunt Rosalee to grocery store in afternoon.  I mailed Rosemary some sweet potatoes. 


Footnote:     Curt is her brother-in-law - I think he lived in Big Stone Gap about 9 miles away.  Aunt Rosalee is married to Millard Baker, her mother's half-brother.     Rosemary is her daughter that lives in Hobbs, New Mexico.   I'm sure they don't have sweet potatoes in New Mexico like the ones from Virginia.
