Georgia on my mind

Georgia wasn't really on my mind, but I clicked on the 'georgia' font this morning to see what comes up. No time like the present for a change of scene, I always say! Okay, I don't always say that, but it came out anyway!

Karen got a real kick out of seeing an authentic 'old man on the beach with a metal detector' when we were on Tybee last week. She was so excited..."Mom! There's one of those guys! Take a picture!"
I love it...the guy was so blissed out, just sweeping along, listening to whatever comes through on that headset. I hope he found some treasures!

Savannah with troop 380

Okay, we survived the trip to Savannah, on a bus full of scouts and moms and one dad...52 of us, all together. Very minimal drama, considering all the adolescent and perimenopausal personalities present. We actually had a great time.

Here we are the first night, at Lighthouse Pizza on Tybee Island, where we stayed. This was a pretty good pizza place. They had REAL CRUST! Look! The parents are all still in good humor! Granted, it's mostly relief to be done with the 12 hour bus ride, but we enjoyed the food and the company, too.

On Tuesday, our whole group went to Lady and Son's restaurant. This is Paula Deen's place (that's me on the right, posing with the cardboard cutout of the lady herself. The food was really good, although it was your basic fried chicken buffet. There was baked chicked and some sort of chicken fried steak, too. Also greens, okra, green beans. The dessert was awesome: Gooey Butter Cake. The name alone was worth the price of admission.

Okay, so you see me up there, with the cardboard cutout....that's my daughter, below, with the real live Jamie Deen. How cute is he? OMG...

Karen wasn't quite as thrilled, but we'll save this picture for her...she'll appreciate it in a few years.
