Sat. Rainy Foggy. Janice & Wendi & I went to Kingsport. Randy started grading the tobacco. Dewey Russell died today.
Footnote: Janice is her daughter and Wendi is her granddaughter. Kingsport, Tenn. is a nice town about 45 miles to the southeast. Randy must have been the tobacco sharecropper she had that year. That usually meant, as I remember, that she had the land and the tobacco allotment and she hired someone to plant and tend to the tobacco until it went to market and then he would get a share of the money the tobacco made when sold. Dewey Russell was a neighbor.
My note: Went to the gallbladder surgeon yesterday for my final checkup - I hope for the year. I am over all this medical stuff and I need to get some order back in my life. I am back home and have finally got things back in order - threw all the stuff away that was in the fridge. A lot of the boxes and canned things had expired so out they went. Getting ready for two shows in the next month so my sewing stuff is everywhere. Got a lot of new things finished and ready to sell. Hope all is well with all you guys. Stay warm - had our first snow this week - gone now and going to be 60 this weekend..
