Last week, some of you may have seen the man walking down the highway carrying a cross. I saw him Tuesday of last week on the by-pass carrying the cross over one shoulder and the bottom of the cross was on two wheels. I understand he was walking from Augusta to Gainesville. He said he was doing this to make people think and boy did it make one think. Pauline Bell was carrying her little grandson, Jonathan Conard, to preschool when they saw him. She asked him to tell his preschool teacher what they saw on the way to school. He said, “We saw a man carrying a stop sign.” ƒI did some teaching two days last week. Last Tuesday I taught the second grade lab. I enjoyed it so much, I thought I should be back in the classroom. The next day I taught third grade lab and realized why I retired. One day a week is enough. I don't have enough energy to teach five days a week, but I learned a lot in two days. I always learn so much from the children. I learned that grandparents are getting younger and younger for children to be so amazed at me. Some children were so interested in my big toe that doesn't have a nail and my veins that stick out on my hands. I felt like an object for "Show and Tell." ƒBecky Thomasson, Carol Daniel, Connie Danner, and Elizabeth Smith took Gloria Ware out for her birthday to the Potted Geranium Tea Parlor in Greensboro on Wednesday of last week. ƒCarolyn Gammon, Kay Tyler, and Pat Mack took Betty Reese out for lunch in Washington last Thursday to celebrate her birthday.
