November 26, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Wed. 1980   Fair not so cold.    We have Wendi.  She & I visited at the nursing home.  Reba was in.  To prayer meeting.


Footnote:  Wendi is her granddaughter and I am guessing she is out of school for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Nice of Wendi to go visiting with her.   Reba is her sister-in-law who lives nearby. 


My note:   Boy I don't know what is going on - yesterday just got away from me and I totally forgot to write on the blog.  I had to pick up Hope (Rachel's daughter who is now 9 years old and sharp as a tack.   We went shopping for some gifts.   She helped me in the booth Saturday at the show and she could handle the phone/credit card machine with no fear.   I let her do everything that she wanted to do to help me.  So of course, she found some things in another gal's booth - jewelry- that she wanted and I let her get that too.   We all bring light snacks to the show and Rachel works in the dining room keeping the food cleaned up.  Some of the people come and eat like they just got out of prison. 
So now, I have to go pick up Hope.  We have some more things to do - gotta go to the grocery to get ingredients for fudge, deviled eggs and dumplings.  That is what I am making at Leah's for Thanksgiving dinner.  Her husband's family is coming to her house and there are 57 of them - hopefully they won't all be there at the same time.  Takes a lot of food but they all bring what she tells them to bring.  Rachel, Dave and Hope will come early as they go to his families house for dinner.  Rachel is making Southern corn pudding - and it is sooooo good.    Hope  each of you have a good family gathering with all the best foods.
