Everyone that knows my family and knew my Papaw Everette knew he was a very special man. He lived a long, full life and did everything from coal mining and gas company work to farming. Big emphasis on farming. Out front, out back, to the side. Every window you looked out at my Granny & Papaw's house had a beautiful view: home grown veggies and fruit trees. He would take brown baggies of what I always called "tommy toes" to the folks at church, and a little bit of everything else, too. My Granny would can, freeze, and dry various things, but nothing compared to her corn. Anyway, I am getting off track here. Well, my Papaw had a very lovely tractor for all this hard work, but it was in some desperate need of repair. My Uncle Troy has worked very hard lately to restore it, and has succeeded in making it run again. I think he has a little painting or something he plans to finish in warmer weather. He drove it over to the old garden behind Granny & Papaw's / Aunt Willie's house and did a little work. Aunt Susie took Dylan out for a little photo shoot with Uncle Troy on the tractor. So, get out your tissues Aunt Willie, and have a look below.
He is really enjoying himself!

You know me too well, Nee Nee. Susie had mentioned the pictures to me a few days ago - that no one had seen them except them so when your mother told me last night to expect new pictures I had an inkling that it would probably be Troy, Dylan and the tractor. But "thinking" and "seeing" are two different things. Tissues were needed but these are priceless. Thank you, Susie, for the pictures and thank you, Lisa Dawn, for the hard work you do in keeping up the blog spot. The picture of Granny and Pawpa is the finishing touch! Wish I could be there with the family at this time but Tonette isn't able to travel as yet since surgery was just 1 week ago today but hopefully the Lord will spare us for another time when we can be together. Tonette is doing very well; getting stronger daily and I am so thankful. Even with a sick car, we have so very much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from all of us. Our love, Aunt Willie and Tonette
