December 8, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Monday   Fair warmer.  I went to the post office and mailed Rosemary sweet potatoes.  Washed a load of clothes.  We went to Big Stone and Appa to get car insurance this evening.  Stopped at Edith's a minute. 

Footnote:  Rosemary is her daughter who lives in Hobbs, New Mexico and loves Virginia sweet potatoes.  Big Stone is a small town about 9 miles away and Appalachia is another small town about 2 miles from Big Stone.   Edith is her sister who lives in Big Stone.


My Note:   I am writing this a day early as I have a show tomorrow - Sunday the 8th. and I have to be there at 6:30 AM to set up.  Can you believe it?   It is going to be 14 degrees and supposed to sleet/snow and who knows what else.  Won't get up to 30.   This is a well established show (45 years)
with a big following and I am invited as a guest this year.    One of the men passed away and they needed to fill his space so they invited me.  I am really excited about being in the show - just wish the weather was going to be better.     I'll let you know if it was worth all the work and cold.
