December 12, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Friday 1980  Fair cold to a warm 50 degrees.   Jennings, Millard & I ate lunch at Burger Queen in Big Stone and went to  Johnny Gilliams funeral at Appa.  I helped Randy grade tobacco after we come in. 


Footnote:  Jennings is her brother and Millard is her husband.  Burger Queen (I think there are no more Burger QUEENS) was a local hamburger joint in Big Stone Gap.  They did have good burgers.   I don't remember Johnny Gilliam.  Appalachia is a small town just 2 miles away from Big Stone Gap.   Randy is the guy who has shared in the raising of the tobacco crop.  He will share in the money when the tobacco is sold. 

My note:   boy I just don't know what has happened to my timing.  I seem to be a day behind.  I will go ahead and try to catch up now.  Think I just forgot to write one day and can't seem to get the days straight.  I should be thinking better than that, I got a lot of blood flowing to all parts now.    Still cold here.  Going to deliver 3 dolls to this lady now and stop at Whole Foods (my favorite store) to get some supplies for the week and for the cookie bake we are having at Leah's tomorrow.  I have to get something for the kids to make too.  Hope and Max love to bake cookies - Leslie not so much the baking but she does love the eating.    It is always a fun day - I will be making fudge of all kinds - dark choc, semi-sweet choc and a batch with walnuts.   Wish I could share some with all of you.
