Let's hope everyone had a safe Memorial Day holiday. Many people have forgotten the real reason we celebrate Memorial Day. One interesting fact about this day is that it was once called Decoration Day because soldiers' graves were decorated with flags and flowers. Let's remember all those servicemen who have given their lives for our country. ..We failed to mention Kason Bradley's special guest at graduation in the paper last week and that was his great-grandmother Marie Bradley. She made a special trip from Harper's Personal Care Home for the occasion. ..Friday night, Scott, Kathy and Stacey Ware and Donald and Peggy Ware attended the Braves game in Atlanta. They enjoyed the game even though the Braves lost. After the second inning, little Stacey said, "I'm ready to do something else now." ..Kay and Aalex Tyler and the dog Dixie spent the Memorial Day weekend in Chattanooga. The Greg Tyler family joined them there in Chattanooga. .. Congratulations to Myrline Thornton on the birth of a new great-grandson. Rett Jarrell Jacobs weighte 7 lbs. 3 ozs. at birth and is the son of Jason and Nicole Jacobs of Donalsonville. This is Mary Jacobs' grandson. Myrline visited with the new baby from Saturday through last Wednesday. On Friday, Myrline was visited by Jeff and Jennifer Thornton of Athens. Jeff is Roy Thornton's son. ..Tignall is glad to have its produce market open on Fridays and Saturdays now. Vernilla and J.C. Clark have some good looking vegetables in the market. ..About 25 Tignall Baptist youth enjoyed a cookout at the home of Benji and Beth Hodges last Saturday. After eating they all went swimming in the pool of Andrew and Pat Grimaud who are neighbors of the Hodges family . ..Gary and Paula Butts and Louise Harper attended the wedding of Kelly Brookshire and Peter Watkins in Clarkesville. Kelly is a greatniece of Louise Harper. ..The senior adults of Tignall Baptist Church enjoyed a salad lunch Tuesday, May 22, in the Family Life Center. Carolyn Gammon presented a program of her trip to Ireland and showed all her pictures. Two door prizes which were souvenirs of Ireland were given. ..Sydney Pullen, granddaughter of Pam and Larry Pullen, sang "Jesus Take the Wheel" at Tignall Baptist Church Sunday. Also present to hear Sydney was her family, Jeremy and Stephanie Pullen, Carson and Avery, and her other grandparents, R.L. and Janice Dunn, all of Elbert County. It's hard to believe a 10- year-old can sing with as strong a voice as she did, and I understand she sang this song for a talent show in Elberton. I know the family is very proud of her. We were also glad to have Sydney's mom, Stephanie, play the piano in the absence of Faye Lamar. .. Some of you may remember Kevin Hanel who worked at Callaway Farms several years ago and attended Tignall Baptist Church. He went into the ministry and moved to Oklahoma. He now lives in Texas with his wife Amy. We wee surprised to hear that they are expecting five babies. Amy has some health problems, so they need our prayers. ..Spending Memorial Day with Albert and Eudora Huyck were Thomas Huyck and daughters, Hanna Grace and Holland, of Macon. ..Spending the weekend with Marc and Heather Hammond were Teresa Martin and Ray Duffie of Murphy, N.C.
