wellborn my hometown

In Vietnamese BA means Father.  Loi Tran chose "BA" for the first syllable of the name of his new business.  The Trans have a 2 year old son and a one year old daughter . Jaden and Aleigha . The "J" and the "A" make the second syllable.

BAJA GRILL is located behind the US 90 B&B.  It is a low overhead operation where local folks can get hamburgers, fish sandwiches at fair prices. 623-1146. Call ahead orders are most welcome.  Customers can picnic or carry out.

 Loi was Bubba, at Wellborn United Methodist Youth fun ten years ago when David Smith was WUMC youth director.Loi was a chubbly little feller, full of vim and vigor and vitality and well grounded in Christianity.  Now he is tall and slim but still full of charm.   His momma is Julia Berry Tran, Dang, Daniels.  The family gathered with friends today because a heart attack took Don Daniels from this world unexpectedly. Loi's grandfather, Rev. Louis Berry, spoke the words of comfort and shared officiating with Rev. Gary Gregory.  May our God comfort those who mourn.

WELLBORN PAWN AND GUN opened six weeks ago.  It occupies a large metal building on CR 137 in view of US90 and also the cement block house next door.   The owners/operators are Charlie and Donna Rosenbaum.  They chose to make Wellborn their home 3 years ago.  Other Rosenbaum business enterprizes have been SR252 & 29th road Country Store and also a Land Clearing business.  The Pawn and Gun shop is what it says but it is also a whole lot more. Charlie is interested in our  hobbies and has stocked hobbyist supplies (remote control models, bows, skate boards, hunters weapons, paint ball equipment, fishing supplies, tee shirts caps and what is your hobby? stuff may be there for you.

On consigment right now there is a  a boat, ATV, a dirt bike and whatever comes his way between my visit and yours.  Estate jewelry is in a locked display case. DVD's are for purchse and/or rent.  The store is neat and orderly and you'll be treated well by Donna, Charlie of Wellborn and Andrea of McAlpin.

Cathy Willson of the Wellborn WHISTLE STOP says she will solve her own problem of having to go 12 miles to get an onion as needed to produce her wonderful deli sandwiches.  When spring comes Cathy plans a Farmers Market with fresh vegies available in the WHISTLE STOP side yard.   She also envisions a flower luncheon in the srping and will invite all the flower growing folks here.  Cathy would love to see an art studio be the next good thing to happen in the building across CR137 from the WHISTLE STOP.  Cathy Collins has that building for rent ($600/month) now that she is working for Poole and doing most of her paperwork at her own home.

Good news is from Ron and Esther Chappel (our very best blog encouragers) Friday Esther gets sprung from SHANDS rehab and comes home to Wellborn. Her hip has healed that well.  Yippy. Much better to celebrate ones birthday at home and that comes January 27.
