Mr. Appleton's tomatoes

Living in a rural area is neat! To shop for tomatoes, all I do is stop by Mr APpletons house in Milan, TN. He has a table set up with tomatoes, a scale, a bucket for money, and plastic bags. Yuu get one of the bags, fill it with tomatoes, weigh the bag and then leave the money in the bucket. The tomatoes were grown just a few feat away. Boy, they taste good! He charges 1.00 a pound, and that is pretty cheap.

The Passing of Pat Guinle's dad.

Last March (2008) Pat Guinle's dad passed.

Ive known Pat since grade school. Outside of Joe Hudgens, he is one of longest running friends.

DAVID PATRICK GUINLE, 86, of Memphis, passed away March 18, 2008, at Baptist Memorial Hospital. He worked for Owens Illinois.

What you may not know about Pat's father is that Mr. Guinle has the patent for child proof bottles for medicine. You know, those infernal caps that no one can take off a bottle! Mr Guinle developed those and owns the pattend.


The more I live, the more I am amazed by the people I grew up around in Memphis.
