Anchors Awelgh, my boy, and saU on to victory! *** Thought sure we had another visitor in our midst. Then realized it was what’s left of Paul Hambrlght. Bravo on pounds away! *** Went by Friday afternoon to say a Happy Brlthday to my favorlt e' Fannie. She wasn’t there. Called me the next morning to say she had been at LucUle Kiser’s for a left over supper. LucUle had had a birthday supper for Kim, her granddaughter, the night before. Fannie celebrated aU day Friday and again Sunday. She went to Ellis’ in Shelby to co-celebrate with LU)by’s father, Mr. Poston, on his 80tb. Thursday was Mar garet Harry’s (not Mrs. O.J.) birthday; so we called down to Warm Springs, Georgia to wish wishes to her. Didn’t talk to Margaret, but I did to Uncle Grady and to his daughter, Margaret Thomp son. There may be some MIRROR readers who know these foUcs and be Interested to know Grady already has turnip greens and onions from his garden. They are all on the go — and he’s wanting to come to his class re-unlon at Chapel HUl. He’s a Tar Heel born and bred—largely down here on the creek. ♦♦♦ After not finding Fannie at home, I set out to find Mrs. Jocie Hambrlght. Finally found her that night in Room 280B at Cleveland Memorial. It was her 80th. Went up to see Betty Toney on third Uoor, but Betty had checked in, up, and out already. ATTENTION OLLIE HARRIS; Miss Jocie wants to see you. *** Got an early start Saturday A.M. Found Martha Lee a- bout to celebrate her day by washing windows. I apologize Martha Lee. 1 truly meant to have the needlepoint ready to present it to you as a re turn gift. Let us now grow too old to give up on me. Was stUl at Martha’s when Dean Westmoreland came by and his kind remarks made Sat urday’s sun even shinier. It’s remarkable bow snstalnlng kind remarks can be. Thanks! And to Frances Green, too, for the kindly comments made when I saw here at the wash ing place. Speaking of the moon, being close, and shininess— Venus and Mars are now close and wUl be in conjunction on the 22nd. Venus Is trying to out do the moon. Shealmostdoes in brilliance. *** And, speaking of left-overs— One Sunday night a few weeks ago Mary C. called me to tell me what an exciting day she had had. Most of her family had come to be with her at church and then Sunday din ner— each family bringing some food. She wanted me to come eat fragments with her. I’ve been invited to pot-luck, dutch-treat, left-overs, nose bag, buffet— but, this was a first for fragments. Frag ments seem so much more humble and hospitable than left-overs— Just as remnant seems more selective than a scrap. No offense to your leftovers, Lucille. *** Back to Miss Jocie— this time not to Room 280B, but September, 1957. I was just home with a new baby sur gically delivered and compli cations. Glenn’s mother had passed away. Mama had re turned to Florida. Miss Jocie was coming to our house to help out. She wanted to over help with my new baby. It was my baby and I wanted to do it all. We lived "up-town” then, but the pear trees down here were trying to see which tree could lave the most pears. I got Miss Jocle’s attention on the pears and she set about to mtddng preserves. No baby ever got such concentrated attention as did those pears. She talked, sang, hummed, washed, soaked, praised and sugared— then began to fret that the pears would need turning at a time when she wouldn’t be there no stir ring, just turning. I said I thought I could do that. In a near-terror stricken tone she exclaimed that I MUST NOT get near the dish pans filled with the pears. The baby was still too young. So, I prom ised to keep my distance. About bedtime, Glenn went over to bring Miss Jocie back to lilt her pears up and over. The next day I rocked my baby and Miss Jocie cooked and canned her preserves. I don’t know If my staying away from them was the secret of their success or not, but if there has ever been such a thing as perfectly preserved pears, those bave to be the ones. May The Lord pre serve Miss Jocie well. This time I promised not to stay away. _ And I hope to be back here next week with some more fragments and remnants. Let’s Keep April Active!
