After spending a few days on Hilton Head, we headed south to Savannah and Richmond Hills. I was the guest of the Savannah Quilt Guild. What a great group of quilters.
Here are some of the ladies attending the workshop.
While we were busy working, guess who found The Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival about a mile up the road?
I see steamed oysters, peach cobbler, calamari, fried alligator, crayfish, smoked sausage and a pulled pork sandwich. Where does he put it all?? (He said he also had coconut ship and a dozen fresh oysters, but that was the appetizer. ) Joe’s buddy Harry suggested Joe start his own blog called “Blogs for Hogs”. I’m still laughing about that idea.
On Sunday we went to old town Savannah and took the historic trolley ride. The two hours spent riding through the squares, hearing the history and being entertained by historical characters was well worth the price. Afterwards we strolled through the area and here are some of the wonderful door ways we saw.
and the grand fountain
In the evening we drove to Tybee Island
for a magnificent sunset
I am so lucky to visit such beautiful areas, each special in their own way.

BOOK REVIEW
“The Martian” by Andy Weir came highly recommended by several students.
Mark Watney was one of the first people to walk on Mars. While on Mars he and his crew encounter a massive dust storm. His crew thinks he is dead and have left Mars. But, he is not dead. Mark has to figure out how to survive on his own. During part of his journey he is in contact with Earth. But, contact is lost and he has to get creative. Mark keeps a diary of his journey and some of his comments made me laugh out loud. Good sense of humor considering his predicament. I know the movie is now out. Hope it lives up to the book.
Houston here I come!!
