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!!!
