Clear, cloudy.  Got cooler all day.   I went to tobacco market early.  Got the check and went to the bank and then took Randy's check down to his house.  To church tonite. 



Footnote:  The tobacco market was a huge warehouse in Pennington Gap, Va. and it is where all the tobacco farmers in the county took their harvest to be sold to the highest bidder.  I wonder what she had to identify her tobacco in order to get a check.  Must have been assigned numbers.  Randy is the guy she hired to help her raise the tobacco and he got it ready for the market, so he got some of the money they made from the sale of the tobacco.   It is a lot of hard work to raise tobacco and I am sure she didn't get enough money to pay for all the hard work.   But that is the life of a farmer.  A lot of hard work!!!

Footnote:     Reba is her sister-in-law.  Pearl Barkley is a cousin  and Gene and Val are her caregivers.   Jennings & Elizabeth are her brother and sister-in-law.   Lettie Davis is her neighbor who she visited yesterday. 

   So if she doesn't go visiting, they come to visit her.   I think her life was unique as I don't believe people visit that much anymore.    Maybe in the country or small towns  where they all go to the same church and know everyone  and where they live ,  it is easier to check up on a neighbor.    I sure don't have neighbors like that.  I don't even take the time to visit the friends that I care about - that is a shame.    We should have a "take a pie to a neighbor" day.   Or maybe once a week, meet a friend for lunch - everyone is so busy that it is hard to even  schedule that .
