Mr. and Mrs. Allan Miller
enjoyed a wonderful visit with
their children and grandchildren
last week.
Lillian, Savannah, and
William are the children of
Andrew and Becca Miller of St.
Louis, Missouri.
During their time in
Crawfordville, the children had
a great time with Jan, Randy,
and Daniel Stewart at their farm
in Jennings. They played with
horses, goats, Yorkies, cats, and
chickens, petted a big bull, rode
the tractor, and ‘drove’ a classic
1976 Corvette. They gathered
eggs of all colors from Aunt
Rita’s chickens in Crawfordville,
held one-day old baby goats at
Mr. Ricky’s Ranch in Margaret’s
Grove, and ‘drove’ Opa’s tractor
before going back to life in the
city.
Everyone enjoyed supper at
Nick’s and breakfast at Diana’s!
The food was delicious, and the
service was fantastic!
Dell and Allan can hardly wait
for their next visit!

The Rutherford/Eubanks Families enjoyed a Low Country Boil at
the home of Daniel Rutherford. They also hid eggs for the kiddos to
find.
Morgana and Luna Peterman were in Athens Saturday for lunch
and shopping.
Elaine Nunn, Kirby and Lori Beggs visited family in Maryland
recently. Elaine’s brother and sister-in-law, Sidney and Nancy
Wheeler, have lived in the area for over forth years.
Betsy Orr hosted her Bible Study group from Atlanta at Heritage
Preserve last Friday. Spring is a perfect time to visit. Trees are
in bloom and it’s so peaceful and quiet-unless there’s a gaggle of
women from Atlanta! The ladies enjoyed a light lunch, a tour of the
grounds and the new Pine Lodge and surrounding units that are
now available to rent.
Gwen and Jeff Marked were on a gun trip recently. They started in
LaGrange, Georgia, at the Biblical History Center. They then went
to Montgomery, Alabama, where they experienced more history,
fantastic food and shopping. Mobile was their next stop where they
did more shopping and visiting with relatives from Wisconsin. Then
to Louisiana for more fun and adventure-and a Cajun Low Country
Boil that Jeff sweated over! More fun to come!
The Goddard Brothers had lunch at Stalvey’s in Covington, to
celebrate Terry’s birthday. Nelson, Mike, Terry, Danny and Alan
Goddard.
