Peachtree Community News
Sunday Morning turned out to be sunny and bitterly cold. Our expectations of snow, which the weather man had been predicting for about a week, were crushed. One fellow remarked that he had made a special trip to the store just to purchase sugar so that he could make his snow cream. He was sorely disappointed that he didn’t have any snow so that he could stir up the delicacy. Wonder how many people can recall making snow cream? More ...

Beulah Community News
I hope everyone is staying inside as much as possible. Most of us were disappointed because we didn’t get the snow that had been predicted, especially the children. Most small children in this area have never seen enough snow to even make a snowman. Of course most of us older people were really glad the predictions were wrong. At Beulah we were thankful to be able to have church services on Sunday.

May all your dreams come true in Disney
If you read last week’s column, you remember I took the advice of my therapist and “shared” my experiences of me and my wife taking a 7-year-old (Holly), a 2-year-old (Kent) and an 8-month-old (Lowell) on an extended road trip.
The first part of the trip was business, with the second part being a stop at Disney World. We covered the highlights of the trip itself last week with a promise (or threat) of the details from Disney planned for this week.

I remember very vividly the good ole’ days of snow. Though they were seldom and few, I do remember a time or two where my hometown got a couple of inches of snow. Since this weekend, Nash County was teased with the possibility of a good old snow, I thought I’d share some of my past snow memories, in attempts to encourage the snow gods to give us a little this year.
