The Reasor Reunion at Jonesville. Carol Ann Ely & family come from Ind. Zoe Reasor, Suzanne Slemp Foote & family from Mich. come. About 80 in all attended.
Footnote: Reasor is her maiden name and the family is large so they have a big get together every year at a park in Jonesville, Va. - about 15 miles from her house. The park had a nice swimming pool so the kids got to swim while the adults visited and ate. The food was always plentiful and delicious. I remember going and people would always say, "my how you have grown". I always thought that was a funny thing for people to say.

I worked out some. W. L. brought me a bushel of peaches and I worked in them some.
Footnote: I'm not sure what she means by "worked out" but it is probably that she worked in the garden. W. L. Barkley is the husband of Pearl Reasor Barkley (her cousin) and I guess they had peach trees on their farm. I'm sure she canned most of them.
My note: I found some delicious peaches at the farmer's market in Kingsport and I made three peach cobblers. One of mother's neighbors had a death in his family so I made one for them and one for us and one to take to Doug and Linda's. I think the peaches were from Georgia or South Carolina. I'd like to have some of them canned for pie in the middle of the winter.

He is in his room playing on the computer and I just finished making Peach cobbler and Macroni, tomato and cucumber salad. My mother cooked a pot of green beans and made creamed corn for me to bring. So we will have all that with Hot Dogs and hamburgers on the grill for our supper. The house is lovely and very close to the water. We will be here till Sunday. I met up with them in Pigeon Forge and then we went to Gatlinburg where we all almost passed out from the extreme heat. It was so bad. So I will try to catch up on the blog while I'm here.

Today is my Mother's 96th. birthday. She is still living in her home by herself, paying her own bills and fixing her own medicine. It is amazing how well she is doing. Reads everything she can get her hands on, including those small print "do's and don't's that come with every prescription - who does that??? She gets a lot of help from Janice and Doug and her neighbors pitch in with little things like the newspaper and garbage cans and mowing the grass. I try to clean out her fridge but I have to sneak to throw things away. She checks the garbage can to see what I have pitched. I'll be there to take her out to eat - she loves to eat out and she has a good appetite. I know you all have sent her cards - she told me - and she loves each of them. Thank you for doing that, it means a lot to her. She has very few friends left that are near her age, so she has to count on the younger friends to send her cards and call.

I understand that Crystal is building a house on the hill above the barn beside Aunt Rose's home. I am wondering if they are planning to tear down the old house. I think it has been empty for a while now. It was a nice house with big rooms and a second floor. I loved the creek that ran thru the back yard. Aunt Rose always had ducks and their poop was all over the yard. I remember also she had gooseberry bushes along the walkway that lead up to the house. I think the ducks liked the gooseberries. Aunt Rose had a big collie dog who had pups on the screened in back porch of the house. We went to see the puppies and I leaned down to pick one up and the mother dog stuck her tooth right thru my upper lip. They had to take me to the hospital to get my lip sewed back together. I have a scar still there.
We visited Aunt Rose and Uncle Hop quite often. They were both very soft spoken, gentle people.

It is a small show, about 100 artists, and the people who run it are very nice. They have fireworks and ice cream. Hope I sell a few things.
I spent the day Wednesday with Hope and Max. Picked up Hope at the Y where she was with Rachel and then we drove to the ferry. Max rode the ferry over the river to where we were waiting.
We went to Dave and Buster's where they played games for a couple of hours. Max loves to go to Goodwill (looking for stuffed toys) so I took them to a big one and they both got a few things. Then we got caught in traffic when we crossed the bridge between Indiana and Kentucky. Next stop was Barnes and Noble where they both bought two books each - spent all my gift cards and I got nothing. See what I do for my grandchildren. After that we went to Texas Roadhouse where everybody had gathered for dinner and to hear Leslie and Mike announce the sex of their baby - IT"S A BOY. We are all so excited.

Reba Reasor & I went to Haysi for Bob Ratliff's brother funeral. We were out all day. Stopped at Edith's awhile.
Footnote: Reba Reasor is her sister-in-law, Millard's sister. Haysi is a town in Wise County and probably about 25-30 miles away. Bob Ratliff is the husband of Hattie Francis Ely, who was raised by Reba. Edith is her sister who lives in Big Stone Gap.
