Wow, sorry to hear that Jake, one of Bonnie's brothers, is in the hospital. Sounds like maybe Bonnie is preparing to go there. The "Comet" was a theater that doesn't get mentioned much. I thought it was funny that Bonnie stopped in at the music store, didn't buy any music, and then went and bought candy and went home. We had a good Sunday here in 2012. Mom joined Springwood Baptist.

Shriners Make Merry
On Monday, September 5, 1927 Bonnie Elmore wrote: Sunny-Warm. At Bristol. Labor Day. Arose at 8:00. Ate breakfast at 8:30. Wilson and Tom went to work. Reva went to work at noon. Tom got off at noon. He and I walked up town Got soft drinks, tobacco and cigars. The children went to a show. Tom, Baby Jane and I walked to the station and put cards on train. Shriners were making merry.
Here in 2011, rainy Labor Day from remnants of Tropical Storm Lee. We are supposed to get 3-5 inches of rain. We are headed to Lynchburg with Mom shortly to do a little shopping and return Caleb's shoes at Kohl's. Surprised that Labor Day was recognized in 1927. I wonder when that became a holiday? Wilson and Tom in Bristol still had to work, Reva too. I wonder what the Shriners were doing to make merry? Rachel is at work today. Chinese take out with Mom later.
