June 8, 1965 Aunt Estelle wrote

Tues.  rainy

We washed and went to Big Stone to dry clothes, and on to Norton and shopped some.  

Footnote:
Big Stone is a town (with a laundry mat, I guess) about 9 miles from her home and Norton is about 9 miles from Big Stone. 

My Note:   I survived another show - it was in a nice town - LaGrange, Ky.   The town was lovely, full of little antique shops, cafes and gift shops.  The interesting thing I found was the railroad tracks that run right thru the middle of town and there are 33 freight trains that travel thru town every day.  The graffiti on the trains was amazing.  The train traveled very slow thru town so it was fun to watch the graffiti show as it passed by.  It is the main line between Louisville and Cincinnati - been there for years and the town was built around the tracks.  I heard there was a camper parked on the street in town and the train came thru and took it out.  That is how close the train is to the sidewalk.   It is about 88 miles from Cincinnati, just about 20 miles East of Louisville.   I was tired on Saturday night but not too tired to drive to Louisville to eat at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant - it was worth  the trip.    I'll recover because I have another show I have to set up on Friday in Granville, Ohio (Near Columbus)
