Blairsville Today

I spent most of the day in Blairsville. I covered two grand openings for the paper - "Huff Creations - Custom Cabinets" and "Blairsville Flooring." Both had good turn outs with people from the community attending. Then I went by the office to help answer the phone during lunch hour but ended up meeting with Larry Garrett about a story Kenneth asked me to do. It's about Union County's new driver's license office. Now people don't have to drive to the Fannin County office. It will save time and gas. Next was a stop at Union General Hospital for a mammogram. They have a new digital machine that is extremely accurate. I should have done a story on it but my mind was not on reporting. The hospital was a fairly quick stop and I headed to the Driver's license office to get some photos. Genevea Mathis let me take her photo while she renewed her license. On the way home I stopped at Foodland and bought some fresh lean meat, orange juice, bananas, black seedless grapes, bread, etc. for the weekend. I also rented four movies from Video Unlimited. The Nativity Story (new release) and The Holiday (new release) look promising. Took a chance on Wanda Sykes:Tongue unTied and Jessica Simpson's Dukes of Hazzard (Tony will enjoy the cut-off jeans. He likes them better than any fancy outfit).

Home Sweet Home. Tony's off building fences and I have some down time to turn on the computer, check email, blog. Blogging is fun and I recommend it to everyone.
