Bonaire expert offers holiday tips
Special to the Journal
Preparing for the holidays
can be stressful and can
take the fun out of a joy
ous time of year. Start your
holiday planning early with
the help of Monica Premo,
Professional Organizer and
owner of Practically Perfect.
Premo says, “The holidays
are a joyous time of celebra
tion with family and friends,
but they are often stressful
because we have so many
more activities to manage. A
little planning and prepara
tion can help you focus on
what is important to you, pri
oritize your commitments,
So do you know what your sign is?

You have a passionate
desire to help your fellow
man.
Unfortunately, those who
know you best, your friends
and loved ones, may find that
your personality is much too
salty, and their criticism will
affect you deeply because
you are really much softer
than you appear. On the
road of life, you can be sure
people will
always
pull over
and stop
for you.

Jane Winston
The Left Rail
historical fiction book very
loosely based on the Old
Testament story of Sarah
and Abram and written by
Marek Halter.
Sarah, living in the cradle
of civilization: the Sumerian
city-state of Ur, balks at
the arranged marriage her
father has planned for her.
On her wedding day, she
runs away to the marshes
outside the city walls where
she meets a young man
named Abram, son of a tribe
of outsiders.
She spends one night with
him but reluctantly returns
to her father’s house. Along
the way she secretly drinks
a poisonous potion making
her barren and thus unfit
for marriage.
She grows into a beautiful
young woman and becomes
the high priestess of the god
dess Ishtar. Abram returns
to Ur; she gives up her exalt
ed life to join his tribe and

solution to their problem.
Our huge booth has a
“Retire to Middle Georgia”
theme, and includes a small
theater area where we will
give hourly presentations
promoting Perry. When we
are not giving a presenta
and take time to enjoy the
special times with the peo
ple you love.” She also says,
“It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about doing what makes
sense for you and your fam
ily and enjoying yourselves
and each other in the pro
cess.”

workshop series to help busy

information on holiday plan

follow the one true God, an
invisible deity who speaks
only to Abram.
The biggest reward for
me, from the reading of this
novel, was that it drew me
to the Bible and the story of
Sarah and Abram. It was an
interesting, often “steamy”
read.
Cemeteries:
My father was an under
taker and perhaps that
explains my fascination with
cemeteries.
This past week I attended
Perry High School’s drama
department’s Ramble
Through Evergreen, the city
cemetery on Main Street.
The young drama students
told the stories, in character
and costume, of individuals
who rest in Evergreen.
What a gorgeous cem
etery with such a variety
of headstones and crosses;
the Spanish moss so heavy
in the tall, old, stooped oak
trees was such a surprise;
we were told that the cem
etery is the only place in
Perry with Spanish moss.
Later this month I am
going on a tour of Rose Hill
Cemetery resting on the
banks of the Ocmulgee River
in Macon.
This tour is sponsored
by the Wellness Center in
Macon.
For more information on
this, drop me a line.
(My good friend, Shanyn,
thought I should share this
quote with you. In bold is
the portion of the quote she
provided. Not in bold is the
rest of the quote.)
Tell next week: “I love
everything that’s old: old
friends, old times, old man
ners, old books, old wines;
and, I believe, Dorothy,
you’ll own I have been
pretty fond of an old wife.”
tion, we will show our video

television promoting our

We are working to gener

in Middle Georgia and Perry
from the senior market in •
Florida. After all, Perry is
a great place to live and too
retire.
