Anywho...
Obviously lots of things have been going on since well, last YEAR. The biggest and most recent change happened about 6 weeks ago when my Granddaddy passed away.
That's him last year at his 90th birthday party...pretty much the whole town threw him a "surprise" party, and they actually named his birthday "O.T. Adams Day".
The funeral was the biggest I've ever attended (not saying I've been to all that many), a very fitting tribute to a really great man. He did so much in the community, serving as chief of police, working with the fire department, being a coroner and working for the courthouse.
He would always bring my and my brothers and sister whole watermelons, which we would of course eat outside (the better for spitting the seeds wherever you please).
He took us all fishing in turn and we all knew how to bait a hook (but if you know how to sweet-talk, you don't have to bait your own hook).
Every year, he would plant beans and tomatoes and would always bring mom the harvest.
He will be missed. A lot.
