Couldn't ask for better weather

Suwanee had Jack Frost nipping at her nose over the weekend as snow steadily fell all day long on Saturday. I was in the garage apartment doing electrical work and even there where it was 28 degrees inside I had to stop and look out the window at the beauty of the falling snow on the bare pines.

Ace Hardware sold out of sleds on Friday night and were getting low on trash can lids by noon on Saturday. We all love the snow when it comes to town and rush to take full advantage as we know it will be gone tomorrow.

Perhaps old Jack Frost has more in store for us this winter. I hope so, because next time my wife, Tiffany, and I will be ready by the fire with my hot chocolate and our two dogs.

Suwanee is like a donut....a Boston cream-filled donut! The first taste you get is that sweet chocolate outter layer. Suwanee looks good from the outside, to those just passing through, seeing the Town Center Park, the green spaces, the new businesses growing up all along Hwy 317, 23, PIB, and Sat.Blvd. Suwanee does dress up for the party well!

Then there are the neighborhoods of Suwanee, the classic homes of old town and the classy new homes off Johnson and Moore Roads...these homes are the bread of Suwanee, which from raw materials became substance and formed the structures that created its form, the houses, the subdivisions, the neighborhoods we love to call home, call our beloved Suwanee.

But, the real sweetness of Suwanee is what's inside those donuts, those homes... the people. Like a rich filling, the people of Suwanee are what makes us smile so much. We call Suwanee home because the warmth of our friends keeps us company on cold nights. We call Suwanee home because of the prayers of the Saints which are with us and for us in our troubled times. We call Suwanee home because we can rejoice together over the victories by North Gwinnett football or the Gwinnett Gladiators or the Georgia Bulldogs. We walk the fairways together, pedal along the bike paths and hike the Richard Trice trail with our dogs. We are family, we are a favored people in God's land. We are Suwaneeans. Its enough to make you smile.

There's More To Suwanee Than Meets The Eye

You could call this place Smile Central--everyone in Suwanee is smiling for some reason. Suwanee Smiles is the brainchild of my child, Justin Williams. But he's not so small a child now, having graduated from the U. of South Carolina in political science and married this summer to Tiffany Gillespie who also graduated from UGA this summer. It was his central idea to put the logo on coasters and stickers of I Love Suwanee and to pass them around the city as a rally point about what we think about our town. So now we have a blog to share about the greenest city in these parts. We have a blog to register our feelings about growth, progress, jobs, parks, traffic, schools and neighborhoods...too much going on to keep in the dark. We want to shine the light on what is good and true. We want to create a smile on your face as you read and see what lights up our lives here in TOP TEN SUWANEE.
