August 7, 1965 Aunt Estelle wrote

Sat.  Fair 

I dug some potatoes and done some house work.  Tonite we picked up Stell Kelly and went up to Maxfields to auction sale.   Mrs. Venus Wade died. 


Footnote:   Wouldn't you love to have a skillet full of those new potatoes - cooked with lots of salt just the way she could make them.   Could eat them like candy.  Stell Kelly is a friend of hers who lives nearby.   Maxfields had a building full of stuff and he had an auction on Sat. night.   There were Wade's in her neighborhood but I don't recall who Venus was. 

I have been keeping Hope this week and she likes to stay home after Rachel leaves for work.  I try to get there so she is not alone too long.  She is 10 years old and runs their house so she is OK.  I have a show in Kettering, Ohio (near Dayton) on Sunday so I am busy trying to finish dolls and cards for that.  Which is why I have been late in blogging.   I try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
