A Ride on the Train

Before leaving on a trip to the New River area of Scott County, Tennessee we took a few pictures of our house decorated for fall and Halloween. Also what was left of our garden, the tomato plants, remember me from 1982. I grew 2000 tomato plants and earned the title Conservation Farmer of the Year. Then we left for the New River Scenic Railway near Helenwood, Tennessee.

In cousin James Toomey Baker's book "The Diary of Bettie (Phillips) Toomey" she talks of all her train trips.  For anyone interested
in the book please contact the Scott County (Tennessee) Historical Society.

Below are pictures of Amy and I at the Frostee Freeze during the summer 2008 Cancer Survivors Meetings. I sat with Dr. Robert Ziegler, who I have been acquainted with for years. He is one of the most interesting people and understandably one of the most intelligent men that I can ever remember knowing. Other than Dr. Herman Matthews, who was one of the BSC Bowel experts. Also one picture of us later that day at the Melungeon gathering at Lincoln Memorial University. Amy says I am part Melungeon, and I think I may be. Also some pictures of our back porch and concrete landing that I myself planked and poured concrete for. Putting up a bug light for a cousin coming for a cookout. Also pictures of our yard and garden and Amy's PINK bathroom.
