Time Machine: Best Actress

 I don't know the exact date of the presentation in the Spring of 2001, but Brannon was very deserving of this award as Best Actress, Rome High School Theater for 2000-2001.

Happy 53rd to Me!

A Happy Birthday to me from my fellow fourth grade teachers today. I so enjoy my new colleagues at Armuchee Elementary! (Cindy Latimer, Marsha Lindsey, Marilyn McLean, Ruth Pinson, Nancy Smith, Brenda, 

 

Time Machine: Mother's Chandelier

The date of this picture is approximate. If anyone has a more accurate date let me know. Mother moved to this house on Rollingwood Circle in Rome late in 1997. Mark Crouse who is on my shoulders in the picture was born in May of 1997. I'd say he is two or three in this picture. So we'll put this in September 1999.

Mother loved to shop the thrift shops, Hospitality House, ReStore, and Salvation Army. The Salvation Army thrift store in the late nineties was in the little shopping center on the west side of Huffacre Road at Shorter Avenue. That's where she found and bought this light fixture. During one of his visits to Georgia my nephew, her grandson, Gil Crouse Jr set about installing it over Mother's dining table. 

Gil often found similar very practical ways to be of service to his grandmother when he visited her. 

Here he is assisted by his father, Gil Sr. while I observe with Gil's boys, Mark and Lewis.

 

Time Machine: John Lewis

Terrell Shaw & Congressman John Lewis at a Democratic Party event in Summerville, GA.

From Facebook, February 16, 2021: Here I am with one of my heroes. This is another find from the boxes of photos I've been going through. This was taken at an event in Summerville in 1999.

Congratulations, Governor Barnes

 I was pleased to be invited to attend the inauguration of Georgia's new governor, Roy Barnes, today. 

Here is my program, with I asked several folks to sign for me. It is signed by four of Georgia's governors: Roy Barnes, Joe Frank Harris, Carl Sanders, and, even, sometimes Democrat Lester Maddox. 

In addition newly elected Secretary of State Cathy Cox, Georgia's new First Lady Marie Barnes, newly elected Lieutenant Governor Mark Taylor, and Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irwin all signed the program.

I think Barnes signed it first. I wish I'd asked him to sign just above his name as Taylor did.

Time Machine: Second Cousins at Camp Glisson 1997?

From my Facebook, May 24, 2015

I ran across this print last week. Lil and Danielle were both at Camp Glisson the same week and we managed to get the second cousins together for a picture.
