wellborn my hometown

Bobbi and Jerry Fenderson, Beanie and Wayne Brooks and 53rd road neighbors(with Del Edwards in the background) were at the November Blueberry pancake breakfast. Blogger bets that their horses were part of the camaraderie and conversation.
The first Saturday took 6 November days to get here and the daylight savings time change had happened since the last pancake breakfast but the WCA breakfasters came just the same. Jack Allred, Chris Williams, Dee Hart, Marla Harrison, Kelsey McGarrity and Wendell Snowden, cooked, served, hosted, kept the records and were appreciated by their customers.

Goldie Marie Fralick makes Wellborn proud to claim her. She was born and raised here, went to Wellborn School as long as there was one and graduated from Suwannee High School, LCCC, and got her B.S.N at U of F. She was involved with nurses in training when she was in charge of the L.P.N. Vo Tech program before she became school nurse at the middle school. R.N. Goldie sees as many as 70 students in a day and must triage each one. She does a lot of comforting, counseling and mothering, prayerfully, as well as tending to their physical problems.

Goldie Fralick (center) an employee at Suwannee Middle School received a certificate Oct 27 for her hard work and dedication as a school nurse. Fralick, pictured here with Superintendent Jerry Scarborough and health and food services coordinator Margaret Wooley, was recently recognized as one of the "Great 100 Nurses" by the Florida Nurses Association at the Centennial FNS Convention held Sept 23-26 in St Pete Beach.

First Tuesday of each month the Wellborn Community Association Hall turns into a very professional looking Bingo Parlor. The Marines organization sponsor the Bingo, make an inexpensive meal available, and this month I noticed a great display of gift items for sale. My friend Kate Rodehaver shouted out her BINGO and collected her cash prize while I was there. In this picture of Kate showing her winning card, it hides her face. It also hides her blush of excitement. What fun! There were about 25 players for Novemeber's Bingo day. There is room for more people to come play, eat, and look over the items for sale on December's first Tuesday, DECEMBER FIRST!.

Anne was a sweet old fashioned fairy princess in pink. Her two brothers chose modern characters to be this Halloween. Angel was Sensei and Andrew was Buzz Light Year.
The boys had to tell me :-)

THE NOSE is Jim Bragg

Spiderman Edgar and pretty in pink Nadia came with their mom

Two very small size batmen, Gabby and Tavyst came with grandparents, Linda and Tom, and mom Tiffany

Robert embraces his mother Paula, gorilla, just the same. Sister Kerri took a turn under the monster mask and looks much better without it. Spook mask Austin came with his pretend ghoulish bride, Lydia.
Good family fun witnessed @ the WCA Halloween Party Saturday night.

Emily Williams came as ABBY from TV's NCIF.
Grandfather Wendell had another TV program on his mind because he had to leave the Georgia Florida football TV at half time to help host the Wellborn Halloween Party. Wendell's cell rang repeatedly with a blow by blow which Wendell favors over recording and watching a game after the score is known!


This little green fairy named Bailey, flitted around happily. She brought her great grandma Sandy to the party and grandma's neighbor Kate.

Tiny ghosts and spider webs decorated WCA building front porch where the grilled dogs and candy give-aways were the attraction.




Arleen Cheetham was a jolly round pumpkin at the WCA Halloween Party. Linda Dye identified herself as Endora the witch. Bobby Wallace galloped in on a pink unicorn.

Kelsey McGarrity is at the ticket table with customers from OBrien, Jessica and Sarah Bowman
Vendor tables were set around Andrews Square. Weather was perfect. Wellborn United Methodist Church Book Sale was good public relations and a heart warming time for both buyers and sellers. Many of us still love books.
