Tignall News I heard that little Jack Rogers was asked by Grandpa Ben Long to gather all his cantaloupes and put them in a wheelbarrow. Jack told his mom he didn't know why grandpa planted all those cantaloupes if he couldn't handle it.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gammon enjoyed eating lunch with their granddaughters, Kara and Kaci Gammon, on Tuesday, September 11, at the elementary school. Grandparents Day was celebrated by the pre-k. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Ware were there with their grandson, Stacey Ware. One little girl was looking for her grandmother and looking quite stressful because she didn't see her. She told her teacher, "I know what she looks like." The fifth annual ladies retreat in Toccoa last weekend was better than ever. Sunday, several ladies of Tignall Baptist Church shared their experiences at the retreat and what powerful messages they received. Jean Holly, a retired minister's wife, a nurse, and director of the Congregational Health Program of Gwinnett Medical Center in Gwinnett County, was guest speaker. Her husband, Lamar Holly, is director of children's ministry called Kids Stuff. Norma Read of Martinez and sister of Fay Lamar gave an inspiring testimony. The music at the retreat was a treat from a group called In Jesus' Name Ministries. Excellent music, Bible study, and wonderful fellowship were enjoyed by all who attended. I understand there was no chance to get hungry, in fact, there was plenty of chocolate.
Myrline Thornton attended a retirement reception for her daughter, Dr. Mary Jacobs, at Henderson Middle School in Jackson Thursday, August 30.

Robert and Patricia Fuller would like to wish their neighbor and friend, Bobby Powell, a speedy recovery. They say that Lindsey Street wasn't the same the days that he spent in the hospital. We all wish Bobby well and our prayers are with him.
Greg Tyler, son of Alex and Kay Tyler, was featured in the magazine called "Cuisine & Wine Asia." Greg is vice-president of International Marketing for USA Poultry & Egg Export Council. Along with a large picture of Greg was all about being able to purchase eggs without shells. Greg says that, "The alternative eggs come in several different forms, including frozen, liquid, powdered, for various preparation purposes, but all retain the same nutritional values and flavors as your usual shell eggs." He says, "We're not advancing at full blast, we are adopting a slow approach, making small steps." Won't that be great not to have to break an egg and separate the yolk from the egg white.
