Aunt Yvonne and Uncle Emmett Adolph. She says nobody has pencils down there to write to her - because of a strike (ha ha). Emmett says Yvonne and Helen feeding their faces. He's been going out with Jim fishing and trawling, shrimping. Said it's a damn shame they hadn't written due the strike (ha ha). Rocky had traded his car for a truck. Yvonne got a mouth full of dumplings and she's trying to talk. Wishes Marilyn and D.D. best of luck. He'll try to write a letter... Nothing new going on. Helen and Yvonne had a big laugh at Emmett talking on the tape and he said he wasn't going to talk on the tape anymore. They laugh so much. Kept trying to tell about Uncle Ernest and Aunt Edna's new "yeller" car. Helen Mae "MawMaw" expresses her disgust over some tenants moving out leaving a trailier filthy. Talked to John Meyers who lived in E.J.'s trailer. Hired 12-16 new teachers. Linda Cooper from Baton Rouge and is the P.E. teacher, short and skinny.. "about like "Jerolyn." Super friendlly too. Carolyn Bergeron really has their place looking nice. Craig got sick as a dog after swimming in the hot sun over at Rodney Buras' house. Monday- Telephone man comes to the door. Boy Ray moved in and followed Clarence "PawPaw" all over with hopes of riding his tractor but MawMaw said that was for his grandkids. Wendy Fitzgerald stops by and gives some updates. Her phone has been out of order and no one checked in on her. Steve's got get to town. Steve's teacher is Mr. Carter. John Dirk Fitzgerald took his first step. Steve eating ice cream and didn't have much to say but will be getting Bicentennial ice cream. Steve was mistaken for Jason at church with his yellow outfit. Steve said he misses everyone and wants us home so they don't have to write anymore. He'll be starting school in two weeks. August 24. Visiting the Louviere's the night before. Craig Bergeron staying at MawMaw's and mentions the new bridge that opened and they go on it every time they go to church. Gets aggravated with Kyle for tying knots in a rope. Kyle starts to tell a story but Craig said he already told that so then Kyle stopped recording. MawMaw didn't "mail no letter" but she's trying. Gail working a new mail route. Kids can get into so much trouble if they're left by themselves. Wednesday, August 25. Still on the tape and "hadn't mailed a thing this week" and so busy. Yes, they still get the Deep River eggs. Still deal with the Delta, no IGA yet. Finds the store in Venice too high. Clarence out planting potatoes. Supposed to go out in the bayou with Uncle Nicky and Aunt Theresa. Johnny is bringing his mother "Mrs. George Jones" and MawMaw doesn't know what kind of person she is. She said no one comes around when there's work to be done.
