December 9, 1980 Aunt Estelle wrote

Tues.  Rainy warm  wet.  1980    I had sore throat and didn't feel too good.  Randy put down all the rest of the tobacco.  I walked up to Jennings late.   Reba was in. 


Footnote:  Randy is the guy who helps her with the tobacco crop, getting it ready to go to market to be sold.   Jennings is her brother who lives nearby.  Reba is her sister-in-law and she also lives nearby. 


My note:  had a good sale yesterday in spite of the awful weather.  It was 20 degrees when I got downtown at 6:30 yesterday morning to set up the show.  There were lots of nice young men there to help me carry my boxes in the building.  Lots of people showed  up and bought some things.  This group hires a caterer to fix dinner for everyone after the show.  The food was so delicious and it just went on and on - right to the homemade carmels and peppermint patties at the end.   We ate in an old Victorian home downtown that belongs to an old friend of mine and he was the mayor of  Cincinnati about 10 years ago.  His wife is a potter and she is in the show.    It was a very long day and a cold day.  So I am pretty tired today and have just kinda set around all day - couple of naps too I think.  It is snowing here again.  Already have 5" on the ground and it is frozen.
