Sat. Fair hot. Worked in house. About the middle of the evening we went to Janice Gails and up on the hill to Smitty's yard sale.
Footnote: Janice is her daughter who lives in Big Stone Gap, Va., about 9 miles away. Smitty was a family that owned a department store in Big Stone. They lived in the neighborhood where I grew up so I don't know what hill she is talking about. The Smitty's were an older couple and they adopted a son and his name was Holly. I think that is the story. Anyway, they gave Holly everything he wanted including a fast car in which he was killed. He wasn't very old - just out of his teens I think. I remember buying Sunday Best shoes at Smitty's store and paid $4.00 a pair. I had a closet full of Smitty's shoes. Hope you all have a good day and enjoy this wonderful fall like weather. I am going back home today to get some more dolls finished then out to eat dinner with a bunch of my friends. I will stay all night at my house and Sat,, Rachel, Hope and I will go downtown to our favorite fabric shop, St. Theresa Textile Trove, and Rachel will find her birthday present - FABRIC.
