Friday Fair
Janice & Sam come. Janice and I washed. They stayed all nite.
Footnote: Janice is her daughter and Sam is Janice's friend. They live in Big Stone Gap (I think) or maybe it was Norton. I was living in Whitesburg, Ky and moved to Richmond, Ky in 1965 so I wasn't around that much to remember who was living where.
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.
