My plum crop is done. It was among the best ever. Thanks to Kaye Alexander and Willa Kay for good plum cobblers.
Grapes are looking good this year. The vines are full.
Willa Kay and I stopped last week with Jerry and Malinda Bryant. Jerry was doing very well that day.
Sympathy to all including the families of Nina Watts and Rickey Parker.
