October 23, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Thurs.  Fair warmer.   I made cushaw pies and took to Aunt Rosalee boys.   Said my goodbyes.  This eve Millard and I went to Appa & bought me a bed.  Went out to Janice's a minute.  Jennings was in.


Footnote:  Aunt Rosalee is her neighbor and she is married to Millard  Baker who is the half-brother of Estelle's mother, Lula Baker Reasor.   Aunt Rosalee has 3 sons, two in Cincinnati area and one in North Carolina - I believe but not sure of that.  They must have been visiting.  Millard is her husband.  Appa is short for Appalachia, Va. , a small town about 10 miles away.  Janice is her daughter who lives in Big Stone Gap, a town that is on the way to Appalachia.  Jennings is her brother who lives nearby.
