4News from Jackie Hanna
Golden Girls are everywhere! While George and I were vacationing in Seward, Alaska a few weeks ago, we got on a whale watching excursion boat and were looking for a place to sit. I approached a couple sitting by a window and asked if we could join them and lo and behold it was Agnes Nelson and her husband who were also vacationing in Alaska. What a surprise to run into a Golden Girl thousands of miles from Georgia!

4News about Avonel
Stop and Smell the Roses
Thanks, Bettye. Dr. Olson said I could go back with Lynn Sunday (Aug. 7) as he will not be in his office next week. Lynn has an engagement portrait tomorrow (Sat). So I had planned to go back with her. Anyway, he said it would be OK for me to miss two weeks, however, told me to make and appointment for the first part of the following week. He also asked me if I had called the plastic surgeon to complete the reconstruction. I told him for some reason I am putting it off. I told him I am a little "gun shy" of any more surgeries, even though it will have to be done soon. He told me to go ahead and plan to teach Fall Quarter.Avonel(Lynn is Avonel's daughter who lives in South Georgia and is a professional photographer.)

View many more on this topic. . .You knew the cartoonists would have a field day with this topic. Did you read in Wednesday's AJC that Gov. Sonny Perdue wants Medicaid to stop paying for erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra. It would be nice if they would also stop giving it to sex offenders.

Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional. Laughing at yourself is therapeutic!
Father's Day
My FatherWhen I was:
- Four years old: My daddy can do anything.
- Five years old: My daddy knows a whole lot.
- Six years old: My dad is smarter than your dad.
- Eight years old: My dad doesn't know exactly everything.
- Ten years old: In the olden days, when my dad grew up, things were sure different.
- Twelve years old: Oh, well, naturally, Dad doesn't know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood.
- Fourteen years old: Don't pay any attention to my dad. He is so old-fashioned.
- Twenty-one years old: Him? My Lord, he's hopelessly out of date.
- Twenty-five years old: Dad knows about it, but then he should, because he has been around so long.
- Thirty years old: Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he's had a lot of experience.
- Thirty-five years old: I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad.
- Forty years old: I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise.
- Fifty years old: I'd give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.

Brief History of Father's Day
Father’s Day is celebrated in the 3rd Sunday in June. The idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
