You're so right, Peek. Seems we have the same ideas about a lot. My mom is in a nursing home. My granddaughter, age 15, goes with me to visit too.The other ladies there have adopted us! My GD takes friends sometimes and they sing for them. Occassionally we'll take treats for them. Have to be careful with sugar treats, some are diabetics. I always take some sugar-free treats. I love going over there.
Just to give an update on my progress for today. I spoke with people in newsrooms for WSB-TV, Fox5, and 11Alive all in Atlanta, and the will run Johnny's story. I stressed the need to tell about special needs, Mentally handicapped, as well as severe speech impediment. I also asked they say something about Johnny may be working his way back home, or even to Atlanta, telling them about the bus driver saying he wanted to go to Atlanta. I have also spoken with WBHF radio station, Cartersville' s one and only radio station afaik. I called the local newspaper in Cartersville, and someone is going to call me back from there. I also left word at the Bartow Baptist Association for a callback. I probably won't have time today or tomorrow, but I want to get flyers to the truck stops around here. There is one on I 75 about 20 mi. north, and another one on I 75 about 10 mi. South. I left word for Julia about 3 hrs ago, but haven't heard from her. I'm gonna call Rev. Brown and ask if I can bring them some food over.
I have just discovered my kidney procedure is tomorrow not Thurs has I had originally thought. UGH. I'm not especially looking forward to that, but just want to get it over with. I'll post again b4 I go to bed tonight with updates on the above. Keep the faith! He's out there somewhere...
