1. Worked at the Grove. Visited folks at Rehab South, Trumann. Talked with Bennie B, Juanita/Delvin H., Francis/A.W., Audrea K., (she asked is that Irene B. from out at McCormick?), Judy F, Preston Coy and others. Marilyn L. is working out there and has a titled job now.
2. Sunday... Was at the St.E.Place at 6:15 ... Viv was having high bp., sang a couple of tunes and played for the groups. Beck called and told me of Jared B.'s death via phone. I cut the morning visits to two more homes(S>S& Craighead Nursing Home)after telling Beck that I would have the car to her by the time she was ready. Beckey met me at the door and took the Pontiac to be with Lori B., her best friend up north of Jonestown. I traded for my truck and returned to Jonesboro. Sat next to NR and listened to Bill E. teach class. Sat next to Maxine and told her of Viv's high blood pressure episode. I had called Bufe and told him to get the morning nurses to dispense Viv's bp an hour earlier. The hassle of getting ready for breakfast(make-up & all) seems to aggravate the situation. He promised to call and make the adjustment. Went on down to the grove and worked on the leaf filled yard. Fed mis animules. Yo tengo seis chivas (cinco mujeres & un billy)... este billy esta el hijo de una de mis dos "nannies" que yo he habido para 4/5 anos. yo regrese a la casa y tuve un siesta para un hora. Que mal dia para Curt/LoriBeth.
3.10- Visitation para Jared. Met several interesting folks in spite of the sad occasion. Opie White(nephew of Maylon White), Mike Glasgo(Faye knows Danny M.) Ferris H. hube me un favor de un disco..gracias hombre. Emerson's is one of the best funeral homes in this area! I know Rick and the trumpeter, Harbison, who has given me a ride in the hearse on more than one occasion back to Jonesboro after my helping with a funeral.
4. Jared's funeral at Emerson's... Burial was at Pine Log... I remember back 57 years before when we buried Grampa Knight's 2nd wife,Mary Lou Biford (Ed Biford's mother)here. Uncle Buford and his family are buried here( I know that Dola and Aunt Francis are buried here. My friend, Bill Couch, lives only a couple hundred yards down the road back to J-town. I have visited his home many times and watched his enclosed deer so many times.Bill is one of the directors of this cemetery. I am glad that Beckey baked that 20-plus pound turkey (with the brown bag recipe)and delivered it via Bobby T.'s car. Everyone was really complimentary .. about it being the very best ever. Beckey and I ate at Western Sizzling (Beckey's treat). Visitation night she treated me to a great dinner at the Mongolian Inn(what great seafood). At Kohl's Beckey and I did the Christmas Shopping.
5. 11-26-8.. After working on the trailer(northern windows) at the grove and a great talk with neighbor B.H., I dropped by KFC for a burrito. There I received a call that perpetuates my belief that there is no cure for greed and ignorance! Why leave a blind lamb to the ravages of a wild pack that now will have no fear of reprimand! Do we get so old that we are deemed insane by age only? I am reconsidering the ombudsman job that was offered to me out of Jonestown for this area!!! The wicked witch of the north may have something yet to consider.
