January 1, 1981 Aunt Estelle wrote

Jan. 1  1981  (Thurs)    Cloudy not so cold.    Reba come for most of the afternoon.  I took some things up on the hill to her renters this morning.  I went to the Magic Mart late and over to Betty's for milk. 

Footnote:   Reba is her sister-in-law who lives nearby.  Magic Mart is a general store about 7 miles away.  Betty is her neighbor who has milk cows. 


My Note:   Well, here we go with another year.  I am hoping for better health this year and I hope the same for each of you who keep up with me and Aunt Estelle's writings.  This is something like the 677th day I have recorder from her journal and hopefully I can continue till I have all three years finished. 

Some more notes she recorded at the end of the year: 

Valeria Slemp died June 15, 1975
Elbert died Nov. 2, 1975  The kids had a yard sale on Thanksgiving day of their possessions and it was very successful.     ( Oh I hate to think it - but that is what will happen to all my possessions - yard sale and Goodwill). 
Oct. 13, 1980  Ruth had a carbuncle
Feb. 16, 1977  Ruth Reasor had a hysterectomy
