January 16, 1979, Tuesday Aunt Estelle wrote

Clear, cloudy.  10-12 degrees.  I went down to Mr. White's to take some things for a family who burned out early this morn.  We went to Appa. in afternoon with our TV and to the grocery store.  Later I went out to Lizzie's for eggs and stopped at Jennings. 


Footnote:  I'm not sure who Mr. White was other than a neighbor in the community.  Appa. is Appalachia, Va., a small town about 10 miles Northeast of Deep Springs.  Remember when there was such a thing as a TV repair man?  Now we just go buy a new, bigger  TV when the old one stops working - and in some homes, the TV doesn't even have to stop working - just time for a bigger screen.    Lizzie is her neighbor who has chickens.  Jennings is her brother and he does live near Lizzie. 

Sorry to be so late today.  I had to leave the house early to take Hope (Rachel's 8 year old) to school as she had a late start and Rachel had to go to work.  Then I had errands to run and was just very late getting back home.
