Capital Visit

 

On Wednesday, February 5th I had the honor of traveling to the Capital to meet with Senator Jack Murphy to discuss issues related to Georgia's Food and Nutrition division.

We did not get a chance to meet with the Governor, maybe next time!

Let it Snow!

Our county is forecast to receive 1 inch of snow today!  Although to some that is not very much snow, its a wonderful amount to those of us living in North Georgia.  I remember as a child being so excited when snow would come and school would close.  We would stay out and play for hours in the little bits of snow we received.

As a lunch lady, early release days do pose a challenge in the menu and timing.  We have to ensure  we can serve the children an adequate lunch in a limited time frame.  But in the middle of the hustle and bustle, the smiles and excitement on their little faces once again cause us to re-live our childhood days. You can feel the excitement in the air and you cannot help but sing....Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
