memorial day
Great Memorial Day celebrations in Coweta County. Hope things were just as good wherever you live. Newnan service honoring Eddie Couch of Senoia—who died in Vietnam in December, 1968— was inspiring. The Senoia celebration was just plain fun. Great parade, great crowds, good street vendors, dogs in sunglasses and lots of smiles, even from folks you don't know. This was small town America at its finest. If you haven't seen "Little America" at work and play, take a day off and visit some of the small towns in Coweta County. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Next big holiday...July 4th. Until then, pray for a tropical storm to extinguish the south Georgia wildfires. The smoke was bad as far away as Anniston, Alabama this weekend. Imagine how it must be down near Waycross, Folkston and Fargo. Those folks need a break.

Leave us not forget! Memorial Day was originally "Decoration Day", it started when the gracious ladies of the South took flowers from their gardens to decorate the graves of their beloved who had fought and died defending their homes and families from the "Northern Invaders".
