more Savannah~

savannah has much to offer

so much

that we weren't sure where to begin

so we started with Forsyth Park

it was a beautiful way to begin our day

~*~

hey y'all!

part of our Savannah experience

included lunch at

"The Lady & Sons"

yep, Paula Deens' restaurant

we started with the best ever biscuits & hoe cakes

perfect sweet tea

a yummy salad bar

followed by

a lunch buffet

which was delicious

service was great

and yes.....

it was worth the wait

~*~

A reminder...

whenever I come across this picture

I am reminded of my very first boss, Mildred

who

 taught me that weeds are indeed flowers

she also taught me the importance of

being on time

i still pick queen anne's lace

and.....

i still struggle to be on time

tybee lighthouse

the lighthouse on tybee island

is the oldest & tallest in georgia

there are 178 steps to the top

i dislike heights & edges

but...

i knew the view at the top

would be spectacular

and i wasn't disappointed

i was happy to be back on solid ground

learn more about the lighthouse

Happy Birthday!

preparing to sing in my very bestest birthday voice

k...here goes!

happy birthday to you........

happy birthday to you.......

happy birthday dear dougggggglllllllllaaaaaasssssss

happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuu!

~*~

we're off to Savannah!

we woke early and headed to Savannah to have a girls day

and

celebrate my birthday

dada

 (most of you know him as adam)

being a  sweet guy and also knowing

babs was in need of some time to herself

watched over the kidlets

allowing us to share

a relaxing & fun day

we learned quickly while in tybee & savannah

parking is an issue

it's expensive & a bit of a hassle

the meter wouldn't take our one dollar bills

it wouldn't take babs credit card

or my debit card

we dug a little deeper in our wallets

and found different one dollar bills that it would take

after fighting with said meter,

we were headed down the streets of savannah

we walked river street along the harbor

shopped all the little shops

and enjoyed a wonderful

birthday lunch

we watched the boats come into and depart from the harbor

it was a perfect birthday!

thanks babs

happy anniversary~

~all because two people fell in love~

~*~

life is fine on tybee island...

we made it!

we left the hill around 10:00 pm

and arrived in Savannah around noon the next day

addy did well

i think shelden and i whined more than she did

we haven't been here long enough to explore the

area just yet

we are spending the day

at the beach today

and perhaps do some wondering this evening

this kid got a taste of sea water at around  9 months

he's been hooked ever since

miss addy

being a newbie at walking

she's not so sure about walking on the sand

so

she's been crawling

more about this little island later

~*~

p.s.

  thanks to everyone for the

"happy birthday wishes"

when we return to the hill, we're going to have a get together

to catch up

to celebrate

new jobs

new family additions

birthdays

anniversaries

&

sorry we haven't been in touch we've been island hopping

get together

we hope you'll join us
