The Kum Bak Cafe has a breakfast club with a group of women eating breakfast together every Monday morning. The Monday after the Masters in Augusta a strange man came in for breakfast. After sitting there he recognized the British accent of Joan Baker. This man was from London so he asked where Joan was from. Of course Joan's late husband had been from London. He had been to the Masters and was on his way to a national park. I would love to hear someone from London pronouncing the words Kum Bak Cafe. ..Summertime must be near.

Let's hear it for the girls! Oh, Oh, excuse me, just still singing and thinking about the Hillary Lindsey concert Saturday night. It was quite a turn-out for our own hometowm Grammy winner and her band. It was very heartwarming when Hillary asked her two sisters, Lauren and Taylor, to join her on stage. Also, HIllary spoke so affectionately about growing up here and her heart still belongs to Wilkes Couny - you could just tell from her comments and her generosity by donating all proceeds to the middle school band. Also, I hope you got the chance to see mom and dad, Kathy and Ricky. They were both beaming wit hpride. In addition to the great concert, there was lots of good food, from the barbecue (including fried apple pies by Ida Mance), to hamburgers and hotdogs, many treats to stave off hunger pangs. Of course, once the music started no one was thinking of hunger - just a little foot patting and snapping of the fingers. Thank you Hillary and the whole Lindsey family. ..Vince Keener of Snellville visited with Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Keener from Thursday through Sunday and got in some good fishing while here.
