Perry Players are holding
auditions Sunday afternoon
at 2:30 p.m. and Monday
evening at 7 p.m. for The
Christmas Carol.
The play will be directed

open early in December.
Crawl out of your closet and
go audition. It is, honestly,
lots of fun!!
More Gripes
I hate 'to appear nega
tive, but my gripes in last
Saturday’s paper resulted
in phone calls from a few
more friends, all near my
age, with their gripes for me
to share.
And the funniest one, and
I honestly can’t believe I
omitted this one, is how we
women search and search
for a bra that “lifts, sepa
rates and divides,” only to
discover when we go back
to get another that they no
longer carry nor make that
style. And the search begins
again.
And why does each store
have a credit card machine,
“a card swiper,” that doesn’t
work like any other stores’
card swiper and has surely
been placed there for the sole
purpose of making women
our age look so stupid.
And then there is the
answering machine, which
requires us to listen careful
ly and “mash” 50/11 buttons
to get to whatever it was we
wanted - but have now for
gotten - in the first place.
And why is it so many
people this day and age
mumble?
Sightings
Don’t you love the travel
ing Admobile cruising the
streets of Houston County?
The geese - flying toilets
- in Eagle Springs, seem to
be gathering around only
one of the ponds - the one
away from the pool and club
house.
Now how do you suppose
the management has trained
them to stay on that side of
the road?
And among the geese is
a pair of white herons; my
best guess is they are male
and female, and if they are
careful about where they
place their eggs, there will
be more white herons among
the geese.
A sign has sprung up
advertising Belly Dance les
sons in the community hall
of Eagle Springs.
When I learn the details
I’ll share them with you,
and we can meet up and
learn how to “shake that
belly thing.”?!*
Until next week

Georgia Living show gives
creativity chance to shine
By CHARLOTTE

The countdown is on.
After months of prep
aration, the art show is
already in place, the pho
tography show is going up
and the workers in the big
exhibit hall are hanging
the last few quilts and get
ting display tables ready
for everything from crafts
to collectibles.
There’ll still be baked
goods and fresh flowers to
come in at the last minute,
but in some categories, the
judging has already been
done, and rosettes of all
colors are in place.
Who are the winners?
We’ll never tell.
Some have their minds
on the concerts. Some love
the midway. Some come to
the fair for the food.
But for some people, the
best part of the Georgia
National Fair is still the
exhibition in the Miller-
Murphy-Howard Building,
which gives testimony to
the creativity and skill of
hundreds of Georgians
who create art with paint
brushes, cameras, clay or
needles, with cake pans
and frosting tubes, or even
