Happy Spring! Isn't it nice to see the budding of the trees, pretty flower, and the sunshine. It got kind of hot Saturday (82 degrees) and Sunday here in Aonia. Of course, with spring we endure the pollen and it's awful. Everyone seems to have a cough, cold, hoarseness, etc. It's kind of hard to get rid of whatever "it" is. ..Along with G.B., I have been a little under the weather. I spent several days in the hospital recently. I came home not knowing my diagnosis. It was not my heart. I'm thankful for that. I've also missed several Sundays of church. ..Ebenezer Baptist Church held conference after the service Sunday. I heard it went well. ..Rebecca Phillips of Conyers spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. David Harris at Danburg and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Phillips. ..Stephanie Haynes, Chip and Skyla of Washington spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Richard Phillips.
