Monday Fair
Sam & Janice still with us. Janice & I went down to Aunt Rose's late and then she went home.
Footnote: Janice is her daughter and Sam is Janice's friend. Aunt Rose is her mother's half-sister and she lives a couple of miles away.
My Note: I got an invitation to attend a party being held at the home where Aunt Rose Reasor Slemp and Uncle Hop Slemp lived all their lives (that I knew them). Sally Musick who is the daughter of James and Julia Slemp Musick and Crystal Shuler Huff and her husband sent the invitation. Crystal is the daughter of Tim Shuler who is the son of Virginia Slemp and Harold Shuler. She is married and has two daughters who are named Rachel and Leah. 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.
