November 8, 1979, Thursday Aunt Estelle wrote

Cloudy.    I washed, cooked & canned 6 quarts of cushaw.  Reba was here.  Pearl & Gene Lipps & Val come this evening.  Jennings & Elizabeth were here.  Lettie Davis was here awhile. 



Footnote:     Reba is her sister-in-law.  Pearl Barkley is a cousin  and Gene and Val are her caregivers.   Jennings & Elizabeth are her brother and sister-in-law.   Lettie Davis is her neighbor who she visited yesterday. 

   So if she doesn't go visiting, they come to visit her.   I think her life was unique as I don't believe people visit that much anymore.    Maybe in the country or small towns  where they all go to the same church and know everyone  and where they live ,  it is easier to check up on a neighbor.    I sure don't have neighbors like that.  I don't even take the time to visit the friends that I care about - that is a shame.    We should have a "take a pie to a neighbor" day.   Or maybe once a week, meet a friend for lunch - everyone is so busy that it is hard to even  schedule that .
