HERE IS THE KITCHEN CREW @ WELLBORN COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION APRIL BLUEBERRY PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Wayne Brooks, Abby Wotten, Barbara Rosdail and Beanie Brooks. Beanie tried to hide from my camera "because my picture has been in the blog too many times" she said. Her friend Barbara objected. "Oh no you don't. None of us would be here except for you, Beanie!" But they were all having fun.
The Yard Sale behind the community building, combined with the breakfast surely set a record for turnout. Parking lots were full up on all sides of the building and hardly a vacant seat inside. The tail enders for breakfast were offered a bargain price of $3:50 because the WCA ran out of sausages. oops Even so everyone was glad they came.
Out on Andrews Square bargain hunters shopped from table to table in between rain showers. The country store's new porch and spiffy'd up insides are because of Charles Osgood's donated hours, sweat & smarts. The building sheltered me, Kathie Snowden, Penny Present, Cathy Allred. Cheryl Osgood and Charles Osgood, himself. Many Little Miss Blueberry photos from years gone by are an attraction in that building now. Imagine my joyful nostalgia to find that the beautiful scrapbook Peggy Younghans made for the WCA 10th Anniversary will be part of the WCA 15th Anniversary on the first weekend in June, just about 8 weeks away. The committee looks for names and photos of the Little Miss and Mr. Blueberry for 2003, 2004, 2005. Kathie Snowden says what she really would like is a volunteer to tidy up the history memorobilia of the WCA. Kathie volunteers herself for the history in the making scrapbooking.

"WCA WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS" A beautifully lettered sign inconspicuously hung at an easy focus point mid room says so.




Robert Taylor celebrated the end of a busy PECAN season by inviting son David to accompany him for a blueberry pancake breakfast in Wellborn. David didn't deny that he might be politicking as well as enjoying breakfast out with his daddy.

Kate and Ray Rodehaver used to always roll friend Kenny Kauffman into breakfast in his wheelchair . April is Kenny's fourth month at Suwannee Health Care, Rm 214 (use the ambulance entrance to find him the easiest way).
Kate and Ray planned to go to Stephen Foster Park after breakfast to see the Antique Tractor and Engine show where friend and neighbor Herb and Betty Zobel are doing their annual participation and display of a swell collection that should be entitled "The Way Life Used To Be". Herb's stuff includes old toasters, flat irons, farm tools. But the thing that stole the show was an old fashioned milking machine under a cardboard cow whose very authentic looking cow plop is strategically placed .

Our own neighbor George Barthelmus and his wife are annual participants at the Antique Tractor and Engine Show at Stephen Foster. This year George displayed an extensive collection of oil cans, an estimated 200 of them!
