We really enjoyed Dailey and Vincent’s concert that was on Channel 8 last Wednesday night. It was a good mix of bluegrass, gospel, and patriotic music.

Darrin’s humor and sincere performance was captivating. We remember his days with Ricky Skaggs and the Kentucky Thunder group.

It is good to see a hometown person with such talent doing so well. We wish Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent continued success in their future endeavors.

Their upcoming April 12th concert event with the Nashville Symphony is at the Schermerhorn Center in Nashville.

There are a few sprinkles of rain falling this Friday morning in the Dry Creek Valley. The daylilies are peeking through the dirt in the pots out on the patio.

At Barbara Gail Frazier’s yard we see many beautiful bunches of flowers and a few blooming trees. Gail’s hard work is paying off. She has a beautiful yard.

It seems like everyone is so happy to see the sun shining. Matilda Earl and I actually planted some onion sets in a few pots this week. We are thankful Matilda picked some fresh turnip greens for our dinner one day last week.

We send well wishes to Helen Burt, who is recovering at her son’s home from a fall.

Best wishes and prayers are with Christine Colombarini who is home recovering from open heart surgery.

Get well wishes go out to our friends Danny Agee, Linda Fuston, and Garry Mullican.

We say hello to our mail carrier Rusty Caplinger, who has been ill for several weeks. We miss Rusty and send him well wishes.

Our community sends sympathy to Tom and Georgie Cripps in the passing of Georgie’s twin sister, Brownie Curtis. Mrs. Brownie worked with the Election Commission for many years serving the people of DeKalb County.
