Curt Gammon gave his grandma, Carolyn Gammon, a gift certificate to the Pizza Hut for her birthday Saturday, December 16, and said, “Mimi, I’m taking you out to lunch . . . it’s on me!” When she got home she received calls from both her nephews, Jeff Tyler and Greg Tyler. Of course Greg and his family had to sing
The Old Gray Mare She Ain’t What She Used to Be. That song made her feel just a little bit older. Sydney Tyler, daughter of Greg and Gena Tyler of Hoschton, spent Saturday through Monday with her grandparents, Kay and Alex Tyler. She attended the Christmas program Sunday night at Tignall Baptist Church with Kay. Congratulations to Ginny and Mark Lawrence of Columbus on the birth of their daughter, Millie Mae, on Saturday, December 16.

From phone calls, it seems the New Year’s resolution that most people make – whether they keep it or break it – is to lose weight. Visiting Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Keener for the day on Wednesday was Steve Saylor of Westminster, Calif. (outside Los Angeles.) Steve is a business associate of Mr. Keener’s He has been in Georgia only one other time – about 15 years ago.

There is always a light on and it gives one comfort knowing someone is with those sweet little ladies. Carolyn, we will miss you, your staff, and the residents. Dan Fox, who is restoring the Wilkinson house on North Huliin Avenue, has now completed another project on his house. He has put a floor on the front porch and painted it gray. Looking good, Dan. I read every word – as I do every year – of Deborah Rainey’s Georgia Realty Sales page. How interesting to follow the move-in/moveout goings on in Wilkes County. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of these new people. Wilkes County does have some beautiful land and homes. Also, we are all looking forward to things happening on The Square in Washington. Way to go, Deborah! You can survive after the Christmas Tour of Homes – even if your house was on the tour. Without the help of goooood friends and neighbors, we would not have made the deadline. Thank you one and all for your help. Also, we want to thank many of you for your efforts in helping us obtain the beautiful fresh greenery we needed. It was a great day for North Wilkes with three houses in this area on tour.
