Sat. 1980 Rainy cold. Talked to Rosemary. I sewed some & did house work, about 12:30 I took off to Penn. for tobacco festival parade alone. When I got back Janice called to lets go to Appa. We did. I bought one Xmas gift. Saw a few snow flakes.
Footnote: Rosemary is her daughter who lives in Hobbs, New Mexico. Penn. is Pennington Gap, Va. and they have a huge tobacco warehouse where the farmers bring their tobacco to be sold to the cigarette manufacturers. Each year they have a big parade thru town and all the activites take place at the fair grounds. They have a beauty contest to pick Miss Tobacco Festival. One year me and Rosemary were in the contest. I think Nancy Gibson won that year - she was a beauty and could sing like a bird. She was also from Pennington. Many years later, I was at the Cincinnati Zoo for the Summer Opera show and guess who was there singing in the Cincinnati Opera - Nancy Gibson. She was very good!!! I saw her several times after that but lost touch now.
Janice is her daughter and they went to Appalachia. We had a few snow flakes here this morning.
Sorry about not posting this morning, I was so into a new project that I totally forgot. Then I picked up Hope - she had a day off school - and we went shopping and I just got home - 6 PM. Going to an art opening of a good friend of mine tonight and then out to eat with her and some other friends. It is very cold here but figured I had better go while I can - may be snow soon. Have a good weekend!!!
