January 11, 1979 Thursday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear.  Another beautiful sunshinny day.  I went up by Molly Delph's a minute and visited.  Then went to Reba Kelly's for milk.  This afternoon we went to Appa. a while, back by Edith's & out to Janice Gails.  She had to go to work so we stayed with Wendi.  Wendi & I went down to Mrs. Otey's and stayed awhile.  A.T. come in to take care of Wendi.  Curtis was down. 

Footnote:  Molly Delph is a neighbor.  Reba Kelly was also a neighbor who had cows, I guess.  Appa. is Appalachia, Va., a small coal mining town just 2 miles from Big Stone Gap.  Edith is her sister who lives in Big Stone and Janice is her daughter who also lives there.  Wendi is her granddaughter.  Mrs. Otey was a good friend of hers and poor Wendi got to go so many interesting places.   A.T. is Wendi's father.   Curtis is her brother-in-law.
