We visited with friends in Metter over the weekend. While there, they took us to Berni's on West Main restaurant in Swainsboro. A great place in a great little town. The whole time, I wondered about Swainsboro Dawg, who was a friend on here when I used to post more often. Hope he is doing well. On Sunday, we went to Primitive Grove Primitive Baptist Church in Cobbtown, which is outside of Metter. What a neat, old school church. Our friends told us the entire congregation, even if smallish, is made up of Dawgs. It was fun talking football, and we took just a little ribbing. The preacher, though, is a Tech fan. So all that was fun. There was a delicious meal at the church after the service. And the sermon was very good. The church has no asphalt parking lot. You just park on grass. Now, that is old school and country. I love all of Georgia, but there is something about South Georgia that gets me. I guess Metter is South Georgia. Maybe it is Middle. Anyhow, it is a great area.
We also visited the Guido Gardens in Metter, which really brought things full circle for me. When we moved to Chattanooga a long tme ago, we would see Michael Guido's "Seed of the Sower" one-minute sermon every morning before school. The show was broadcast only in Georgia, but I guess we got it because Chattanooga stations broadcast into North Georgia. That little chirping bird that starts out the show brings me back to my first days living here. So we visited the Gardens, which was a neat experience. We even went by Dr. and Mrs. Guido's gravesite. That was not on the agenda, but while getting a tour of the area, our hosts said they were buried there, so I asked if we could see. You can hear many of those sermons on YouTube.
And that is my trip report! Oh yeah, while driving down I-16, we saw signs for exit to Eastman! I said no way are we going there! Just kidding, Eastman Dawg.
