Lunch At the Creek

It was a Girl's Day Out Afternoon today.

Lunch usually begins at 12:00 but no one ever wants to leave. We bring out the old annuals, catch up on today's news, talk about the reunion and gossip a little (did you think we wouldn't?!!)

GDO is arranged by Janice Johnson Dixon for the third Thursday of each month at Jones Creek Country Club. We hear there are plans for a road trip to visit Donna Andrews P. soon. An email or phone call will get you on the list. If you live out of town and are headed to Augusta, plan your day around lunch at the Creek.

A Girl's Day Out at Reynolds Plantation

Since we don't have to take apples to the teacher any more, we can give ourselves a treat. If apples aren't your thing, how about a short jaunt with your classmates?

I thought it was my turn to take responsibility in scheduling the next Girl's Day Out lunch. It is time to go back on the road, so we will visit the Southern Living Idea House at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro and have lunch nearby. This location is about half-way between Augusta and Atlanta so we'd like to have a good fun bunch.

We will plan to meet at 11:30 to have lunch and tour the house afterward. There is great shopping nearby if you want to come early or stay later. The house tour is $5.00 with proceeds benefiting Habitat for Humanity. I have two restaurant recommendations and am waiting on another, but will be happy to hear of other delicious locations.

I have two dates as possibilities: My first choice is Wednesday, November 14 with Friday, November 16 as a back-up if Wednesday is just awful for everybody.

Let me know if you can come and we'll set up some meeting places for the trip from your neck of the woods.

We're Few but Fun!

While only four of us made it to the Girls Day Out lunch during one of the hottest days of the decade, we had a great time visiting. It's Emily Stevens Baumann, Mary Gahnz Usher, Jane Bass Moxley, and Annette Adams Bush.

We discussed doing something special in November. Hope some of you will join us then - - and bring pics of the BBQ!

Where? Who?

Jane and Emily wonder who is planning to come on August 16 for the Girl's Day Out lunch. An email to one of them will get your name on the list and they can decide where to get together. If there are enough from North of the Oconee River, lunch will probably in Madison. If you have suggestions for good spots close to Augusta, let them know that, too. Stay tuned. I'll try to have pictures!

Girl's Day Out

For a while now, classmates from Atlanta, Augusta and parts all around have been meeting for lunch. The location changes and the approximately three-month interval is irregular.

Today, the group of twelve met at Stevie B's Pizza, Pasta and Salad Bar on Bobby Jones Expressway in Augusta at the recommendation of Emily Stevens Baumann (at left with Helen Gnann Byars). We were all delighted to get the senior rate and the pizza was yummy.


Thanks to an email from Jane Bass Moxley(on right with me on the left.) We all knew when and where to go. If you want to be on Jane's email list, send her your stuff. < jbmoxley@aol.com >





Mary Gahnz Usher and Martha Tallman Buck in a serious discussion.






I've included some of the best photos. I'm sorry I missed a couple of people or made them fuzzy.

Others present were Judy Little Murphey and Caroline Bell Jones. Ann Walker and Janice McDonald represented class of 60.



Soon it was time to say goodbye. It was a fun day. We hope others will get on the list and join us.

BTW, We heard that Joe and Donna Andrews Pittman and Maxie and Judy Stubbs Terry have booked the same Alaska cruise -- hope more info is coming when they return.
