Senior Center Goes
Irish Green
-Rose Nunnally. Special Contributor
The senior center was a sea of green with shamrock decorations
and members wearing green shirts, green hats, and even green
socks.
The day started with the history of St. Patrick, and how he used
the three-leaf clover to represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
St. Patrick died on March 17, now a widely known feast day for
the departed saint.
The senior center continued the green theme to the buffet
lunch with green salads, green deviled eggs, green cupcakes, and
cookies. After the luncheon, seniors and staff enjoyed karaoke
singing and dancing. Pictured are Annie Simmons, Ronald
Nunnally, Juliette Kemp, Sally Holloway, and Gladys White.

Smithgall Woods State
Park in Helen, a retreat.
I know, I say it often, I found the place,
the best place. However, this time, I have to
say, this place is great! You see, when you
are retired, you get the chance to visit places
you don't often get to visit. So, after doing
some riding around, we found a place tucked
away in Helen that is right up a fisherman's
alley!
Smithgall woods State Park in Helen, Georgia is the perfect
place to do it all. Not to mention, the best scenery you would
ever want to see. As Sofia from Golden Girls used to say,
"picture this", after a wonderful day of canoeing, and fishing in
a premier trout stream, and then hiking, you sink into your own
private hot tub. No, it's not one of those very expensive places
they call resorts, you are right where you need to be, in one of
the six cottages that are available at this wonderful State Park
in Helen.
Each cottage is unique. Some have stream views, spacious
decks, hot tubs, large screen televisions, and stone fireplaces.
This place is a fishermans paradise for sure. However, you have
to be a cottage guest to fish the area throughout the year. If you
are not staying
at one of the
cottages, fishing
is limited to
certain days.
Dukes Creek
runs thorugh
this spectacular
property and is
a favorite for
catch and release
fishing too.
Along with fishing, they offer the best in trails. Five miles to
be exact. Also eighteen miles of roads allow hikers and bicyclists
to explore hardwoods, streams and wildlife throughout the park.
This park also offers five picnic shelters for day use, a visitor
center, museum and gift shop. A pioneer campground if offered
for youth and conservation groups. But anyone interested must
call the park first for capacity limits and to reserve this area.
I have to say. This is a perfect place to take the family. Spring
or summer is a great time to go. Just make sure you call early
and make reservations. 706-878-3087.
Happy Fishing!
