Tignall News Many out-of-town family members of the Rhodes family were here for the past weekend especially for the fly-in. Those visiting William Rhodes were Mr. and Mrs. Donnie Rhodes and Nadia of Norway; Mr. and Mrs. Randy Rhodes, Taylor and Christopher of Danielsville; Riki Lynn Rhodes and Christa, a friend, and Dale Black of Lakeland, Florida. Emma Grace Summerlin of Senoia celebrated her first birthday. She is the granddaughter of J.T. and Marilyn Summerlin. Going especially for this special first birthday party at the home of Joe and Tani Summerlin, Kyle, Dean, and Emma Grace in Senoia were J.T. and Marilyn Summerlin, Betty, Whitley, and Benjamin Hodges. Visiting with Mary Ann Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Ware Friday was Diane Nix of Toccoa. Sunday afternoon, Mary Ann Williams and Peggy Ware visited their sister, Sara Grimes, in Elberton. Spending the weekend with Alex and Kay Tyler were their granddaughter, Sydney Tyler of Hoschton. She enjoyed riding four-wheelers while here. Ralph and Mary Will Denard spent Labor Day weekend through Tuesday camping at Yonah Mountain Campgrounds. On that Saturday they went to Dillard and visited Curtis and Nancy Harper. I have two funny stories that actually happened to people last weekend. I ran into a Tignall friend at the mall in Athens Saturday. She told me that she had the worst experience of her life. She stopped at a rest room in Crawford where they gave her a key and told her to be sure and lock it back when she came out. The thing is, she couldn't get out. She saw the key didn't fitthe key hole to the door and it wouldn't open. She beat on the door and yelled but no one heard her. She even found a dust pan to use to beat on the door when she had bruised her hands. What was going to be a fun afternoon of shopping was turning into a nightmare for her. She finally saw a door that looked like a storage closet and thought she could find something in there to help her get out. It was around lunch time and she was getting hungry, so she thought there might be something to eat in there too. She knew no one was coming to her rescue because she had the key and no one could get in and she couldn't get out. She opened the door to what she thought was a storage closet and she was outside. She had been trying to open the wrong door. The other story is about a couple who went grocery shopping out of town. The clerk was totaling the grocery amount and the husband was busy bagging groceries. When they got home and the wife was unpacking groceries, she exclaimed, "What is this?" Her husband had accidentally bagged the cancer fund jug that had been on the counter. The thing about these two stories is that these people are not blonde! Ladies from Tignall enjoying a cousins get-together and a delicious lunch at the home of Betty Reese in Washington were Pat Mack, Edna Rhodes, Louise Harper, Doris Rhodes, Kay Tyler, Carolyn Gammon, Flossie Rhodes, Jean Rhodes, and of course, Sara Frances Henderson, who also helped Betty host this occasion. Some of those attending from outof town were going on to the fly-in on Sunday. R.C. and Barbara Oakley have been here for a few days at their home in Beulah. Visiting with them over the weekend were Dawn Moore, Parker and Jackson of Forsyth. If anyone wants a 'possum, Albert and Eudora Huyck will be glad to give you one. They are in the 'possum catching business to try to get rid of them from their yard. Mr. and Mrs. John Yochim hosted a birthday dinner Sunday for Vivian Wolozin and David McAvoy. This was Vivian's 88th birthday and I'm not telling how many for David. Present for this occasion were Mr. and Mrs. David McAvoy and Charlie, Mr. and Mrs. Tim Echols, Mrs. Dale Robertson of Dacula, Nick Bourchier of Las Vegas, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Turner and Jordan of North Dakota, Mrs. Louie Wolozin, Phoebe, Blake and Aubrey Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Waters of Buford, and Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Thomasson.
