Greenville Gay News for June 7, 2013 Happy summertime! The blackberries and mulberries are ripe and so sweet plus folks are eating from their gardens. I have not heard of a locally grown red tomato but cabbages, cucumbers, squash and more are being enjoyed. My neighbor put up 250 bales of hay on his first cutting and that was more than he put up all of last year. So we are off to a productive summer. Hannah Flynn and Ricki Robbins represented our local Lions Club well in Augusta. Each club had to bring a gift basket to be auctioned away and Hannah used our Together in Meriwether Festival poster as her theme and procured something from each of our seven communities like a Stuart Woods book from Manchester, a bit of home and garden décor from High Cotton in Woodbury, etc. Our Meriwether basket, for the third year in a row, was auctioned at the highest price-over four hundred dollars. Well done, Hannah! Anne Threadgill, Mimi and Gene Smith, Butch and Suzanne Tigner spent last weekend in Saluda, North Carolina where 45 DuPree relatives attended a reunion. States represented were Florida, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Texas, New York, Alabama, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. Ages were two to eighty five years. Lee Strozier Ellis organized the event. Anne says she is to be commended! The Mabons have returned from extensive travels: at Mother’s Day they enjoyed a beach weekend at Edisto Island with both Jared, Aaron, and Meg. Sallie knocked out several books on the long drive to and from Nebraska where they visited Jim’s mother and attended a high school reunion. The new book being enjoyed and discussed is Dan Brown’s Inferno. Brown had finished touring and researching for the novel when our Greenville group toured Italy last June. The setting for most of the book is Florence then on to Venice before finishing in Istanbul. A delightful read if you like art and art history but he does leave the reader with a quandary of a problem that is the heart of the novel and makes for an interesting antagonist. Congratulations to Pastor Jan Oglesbee at the Methodist Church who has received notification that she is returning for another year to Greenville. This Friday night is Movie Night at the church and Signs will be shown at 7 pm. Celeste and Brian Garrett were showered with baby gifts last Sunday. Many were handmade-quilts and blankets. Judy Garrett used snippets from Brian’s shirts to customize some very special baby clothes for young Charlie. Happy Seventieth Anniversary to Pat and Henry Barnes who celebrated on Wednesday. JoAnn Camp reports that they had seventy plus people to sign the guestbook at the opening of her show in Carrollton on Saturday. She says that her work has never looked better and that there was something about having it all hanging in one place with plenty of room to look at it from a distance--to literally be surrounded by it--that gave her goose bumps.
