On the Web: www.valdosta.edu By Emery Steinhauer During this year's Free dom Walk on September 20, 2019, PJHS Jr. Beta students had the opportunity to volun teer to help with the set-up. The Freedom Walk gave them a chance to leam about our area veterans and the The Callaway Ten Bright and early on a Tuesday morning we loaded up the van and headed down to Callaway Gardens. It’s al ways beautiful anytime of year that you go, whether there are bunches of flowers blooming outdoors or not. There will be loads of pretty flowers in the greenhouse. Visiting the Callaway vegetable garden is always a treat. I loved going to the log cabin when they have the lady weaving baskets and an other lady telling the story of the cabin. Walking through some of the azalea trails would give your legs a little break from so much riding. We usually had lunch at the hotel restaurant. Once while eating there, Sue thought the sauce they made to go on the mm pudding was wars in which they fought. Along with meeting the vet erans, they had the chance to help out in our community. It’s safe to say PJHS Jr. Beta students had a great learning experience, as they each brought back interesting sto ries from our local veterans. gravy and put it on her meat, the good is always delicious. As it happened, we had not made reservations and all the large cabins were full. So we had to take a one-bed- room cabin, although there were 10 of us to spend the night. But you know, you’re not in the bed very much, so what does it matter if there are 10 beds or two? In this case, there were two beds. We pulled the mattresses off both double beds and laid them on the floor. Therefore, two slept on each mattress and two on the springs. The couch pulled out and made a double bed, so that gave everybody a place to lay down. There is never a whole lot of sleeping going on on these trips anyway. This trip occurred about 1982 and it just one of my memories of travel.

Bring the entire family and don’t forget your lawn chairs. We hope to see you there. Skin Irritation & Vinegar If you have a skin irritation, sponge the area with undi luted vinegar. If the itching stops, the condition is on the out side of the skin and vinegar will quickly heal it. Applying vinegar to the skin helps to normalize its PH balance. I prefer organic apple cider vinegar. Vinegar is also good to use for insect bites and stings.
