To Tybee and back!

I know it's been a while since I blogged, but we have been away from home for the past week. Last Saturday we took off for Tybee Island (our home away from home). It was the time for our timeshare there. I retrieved the blogs from the computer at the library. My time was limnited and I know I didn't comment on some of the blogs and didn't blog about our activities but I was pressed for time. We had MaryJo and Carolyn with us. I was joking all week that I was driving a car full of Mother-in-laws. The trip down was cloudy and chilly. No real rain, just an occasional sprinkle. Sunday dawned really bright and beautiful. We didn't really do much except a little walking around. We went to River Street on Monday. Carolyn and I wanted to have some shrimp & grits at Huey's. As it turns out there was a tall shil docked on River Street and it was open for tours. The ship was built in 1989 in Brazil. It had been left to decay after a few years. The group called the 11 Nations bought it have done a great job in restoring it. We rally enjoyed it. It was a nice day for all of us.
The rest of the week, each got colder and colder. We stuck pretty close to home, but did the obligatory visit to Chu's and walks on the beach and pier.
All week week wherever we went we were looking for a nice, reasonable restaurant to eat at on Thursday night. We found a new place where we had never been to before. They claimed no entries over $20.00. The sample of dishes in their ad looked really good. We took a trip earlier in the day to look it over. The had a big banner on their outside sign that they had 'Early Bird Specials from $9.99 to $11.99 from 5:00 till 6:30 PM. Usually they don't open till 6:00 PM. That settled it, that was the place for us. The place is called Charly's and is located in a little 3 bedroom house on Cambell Ave. right behind the Post Office. We got there about six O'clock and found it quite charming. They had real cloth table covers and was decorated with art pieces for sale on the walls. The service was good and the food was excellent. I ordered from the reguler menu and ordered Linguine with shrimp and scallops. It was really good. I recomend the place highly.
MaryJo had to come home on Friday to be with Cathleen who was having some tests done in the hospital. I took her into the visitors center in Savannah where I turned her over to two of her grandchildren who were going home from college.
Later on Friday the three of us went to a craft show on Hutchison Island at the trade and convention center. It is the largest craft show in the south.
The trip home was rather unevetful and here I am catching up on theing.
Love.

I am honored Really!!!

The other day Jimmy calles and asked if I would like to attend the Veterans Da y event at his school. Of course I said I would be there. He then asked if I would wear my uniform. Of course that couldn't happen, mear fabric just can't last that long. I really think I could have fit into it, if it were still around.
We showed up and were ushered into the gym where chairs had been set up for the spectators and risers set up for the third grade students. They had programs made up and the classes were lined up so that one group wore red shirts, one group wore whit shirts and the last group had blue shirts.
They sang patriotic and military songs. Some of the students gave talks on the history of the flag and of Veterans day. We pledged allegiance to the flag. The ceremony was then topped off with each veteran there being called up and their student relative presented them with a lovely medal on a beautiful ribbon. The program ended wit the singing of 'God Bless America"
It was just a beautiful ceremony and I really felt honored. There were Veterans form WWII, Korea, Viet Nam as well some still on active duty.Most of them were in uniform.
What wonderful day and what a wonderful way for the third grade to show it's patriotism by honoring those who have served their country.
Love.
