Fact:
• While it is accepted practice to wear house slippers to the local IGA, appear in anything resembling a nightgown and you're a spectacle. Take it from me, don't even try it.
• In case I didn't mention it, www.cedargrovedesign.com went live on August 26th, 2005. Yahooooo!! hoooo! woo. YAW! We ROCK! Y'all jus' don't know it yet.
• Grainger Co. is known for its tomatoes. You can even get them at Knoxville Wal-Marts.
• A Tomato Festival is held here in July. It gets bigger every year.
• One event at the festival is to throw rotten tomatoes at one another.
• I have never participated in the above activity.
• Bull's Market on Rt. 11 (and also Ritter's Farm) are selling boxes of tomatoes for $5 each. Many in the box I bought were not ripe yet and so the batch has lasted for well over a week, unrefrigerated.
• Tomatoes lose flavor when refrigerated.
• Tomatoes are indigenous to South America.
• I have no idea what chemicals, if any, are used in the production of Grainger Co., tomatoes.
• Lewis, a lifelong resident of Grainger Co., doesn't much like tomatoes.
