December 20, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Sat.  Fair very cold.    I done house work.  We went up to Reba's this eve.  Hear Maebird Blair is full of cancer. 


Footnote:  Reba is her sister-in-law and lives nearby.  Maebird Blair is also a neighbor.  I think they are the Blairs that owned the general store.  I remember getting fudgecicles there.  Daddy would stop to get gas there sometimes and we would get to have an icecream.   Can't remember her husbands name but I remember what he looked like - a small frame man with dark hair.   

Cold and rainy here today.  I have a cold, sore throat and all that crap.  Got it at the grocery AGAIN.  I swear I wear gloves, never touch all those signing pens that everyone else touches, clean the cart and still I get a bug.  I have some things I have to pick up for Christmas and I have a journal and doll to deliver to two different people.   So I have to get out in this mess.  I would just rather stay here and sew.   I was supposed to meet some of my old friends for lunch downtown and then I had plans to have dinner with some other friends tonight at a barbecue place - I had to cancel both of them.  I don't feel so bad, I just don't want to spread the germ.    Hope you are all well.
