This weird weather we are having is enough to make everyone sick and keep them sick. I wish we could just have spring, summer, fall, and winter. But I am not in command. God is. ..The Lunch and Learn Club of Rayle will meet Wednesday, January 24, at Rayle City Hall at 10 a.m. All interested ladies are invited to attend. ..Brian George brought a very inspiring message at Sardis Baptist Church Sunday. His parents, Ed and Roberta George, and several other family members were present in the audience.

I travel to Washington several times a week. I love Washington and would live right on The Square in Downtown Washington if I could. ..Tuesday, Kathleen and James Canup and Margaret Peterman of Lexington joined me to attend the program and lunch at the Tignall Baptist Church. The first thing I noticed was that three of the community correspondents of The News-Reporter - Samille Sherrer, Carolyn Gammon, and I - were in attendance. It was good to see so many people that we know and to enjoy the wonderful hospitality of the Tignall folks. The program was very interesting and informative, the entertainment great, and the meal delicious. .. Afterwards, Kathleen, James, Margaret, and I continued on over to Elberton where we played bingo at Wendy's. Then we rode up to see the new jail in Lexington. It is really a nice jail, if you can say that about a jail. The building is real pretty and I can't wait to go to open house when they get it finished. It's as nice as any hotel. ..Thursday I went over to Bogart to the home of my sister, Martha Jones, to spend the day. We went to Athens to have dinner at Sonny's Barbecue with our other sister, Frankie Jones of Athens, and our brother, James Smith, and his wife Sharon of Stephens.
