Dave and Beverly Garrett Barney of Concord, Mass., are at the Garrett farm for a few weeks. Wesley and Mary Garrett and granddaughters, Charlie and Alex, visited for the day last Sunday. Arriving on Tuesday to spend the rest of the week was Dave's brother, Steve Barney of Pinehurst, N.C., and Lake Tahoe, Nevada. ..C. Carol Cartledge of Washington called all excited about our new cookbook. Her ancestors, Mrs. Crawford Cooper and Mrs. M.A. Pope, have recipes in that old cookbook. She is looking forward to the new edition, as are others. ..
REMINDER - Get those recipes to a member of the North Wilkes Steering Committee by April 1. ..The pollen - cough, cough - is so bad I'm sure one of my tulips was sneezing. ..Our little town will be looked at next weekend as tour people will be passing through going to the Tour of Homes in Washington. Let's get all of our yards cut and the streets clean. ..I can tell while walking that spring is definitely here when I see campers being loaded up, yard sales, and the wonderful fragrance of the blooming wisteria. The beautiful Bradford pear trees still fool me. They are wonderful to look at as long as you are a distance from them. They have an awful odor. I almost forgot to say another evidence of spring is that yellow pollen that is all over everything. I don't remember having the problem with pollen when I was a child, but I know we must have had it. One tree that I miss seeing as an adult is the Chinaberry tree. Those were the best trees to climb - that is, for everyone else to climb. I wasn't in to climbing trees. I just remember seeing my sister Kay in the top of many trees, but not me. I was too chicken! ..Visiting Myrline Thornton from Monday through Thursday of last week was Mrs. Amy Paul of Oxford, Michigan. On March 17, Myrline attended the Josh Groban concert in Atlanta along with Ida Jacobs of Macon
and Mary and Rudy Jacobs of the Jackson Lake area. They really enjoyed eating at Mary Mack's Tea Room, a historical restaurant that has been in business since 1945. Visiting Myrline over the weekend were Alicia Thornton and Robert Randolph of Athens. ..Danny and Tammy Price went for the weekend to visit Mr. and Mrs. Jason Mathias and children in Mississippi. ..Stacey and Amanda Hilley and baby Owen of Commerce came for the baby's first visit to grandma and grandpa, Nancy and David Hilley, on Sunday. ..Everyone at Tignall Baptist Church enjoyed hearing the Kids Alive choir members sing Sunday morning. ..Our sympathy goes out to Peggy Ware and Mary Ann Williams on the death of their niece, Sharon Nix of Elberton. Coming to attend the funeral Saturday and visiting with Mary Ann and Peggy and Donald Ware were Mr. and Mrs. Dwayne Simmons and Chris Simmons of Baldwin, Diane Nix of Toccoa, Janelle Whitfield of Mt. Airy, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Nix of Clarkesville, and Mr. and Mrs. Scott Ware and Stacey. ..We were saddened to hear of the death of Elizabeth Lamar Archer of Arizona. We extend sympathy to her husband, Mel, and son, Gary; her mother, Edna Lamar, and brother, Ernest Lamar. ..Don't forget the senior adult program and luncheon on Tuesday, April 3, at Tignall Baptist Church. Contact Pat Bobo if you plan to attend. ..Gloria and Layton Harris and family celebrated Dylan Harris' second birthday Saturday night, March 24, with a cookout. Steak with all the trimmings was served along with a family favorite of Red Velvet Cake. About 21 family members and friends attended. ..Kenny Long was surprised with a 50th birthday party given by his daughters, Niki and Jenny Long. Family members and friends enjoyed cake and finger foods at the Tignall Baptist Church Family Life Center on Saturday, March 17. .. Gloria Harris attended a bridal shower Saturday, March 24, at Tabor Baptist Church honoring her greatniece, Tanner Guinn. ..Laken Harris of Abbeville, S.C., granddaughter of Gloria and Layton Harris, spent the weekend with them. ..We forgot to mention that the birthday Donald Ware celebrated was his 75th birthday with the family dinner on Sunday, March 18. That's a lot of candles to blow out.
