Southern Exposure
A wonderful, wonderful visit is drawing to a close and when I fly home on Wednesday, I will be taking a lot of beautiful memories with me. I have long looked forward to being with Wes and Deb, and spending time with Claire, Malik, Leila and Shaheed. Ever since I began spending about a month per visit with them, the experiences have varied. Basically, though, it is a mix of relaxation and activity.
It would fill a book to recap everything, but the highlight of this vacation was a weekend trip to Savannah, Georgia. We stayed in a darling bed and breakfast near one of the 22 historical squares which are named but all have trees, walks, shrubs, etc. Some also have monuments as well.

We packed the short time with a lot of different activities, which included a lot of walking but also a lot of driving to places like the Boneventure Cemetery where Johnny Mercer is buried. Mass on Sunday at The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah was breathtakingly beautiful and that was followed by a river boat ride (to celebrate Wes and Deb’s seventh wedding anniversary – I was here then as well – on Monday). The ride included a lovely brunch highlighted with Georgia peach cobbler.

Thanks to Wes, my blog has been redesigned and he is teaching me how to work with it, so I expect to do a much better job of blogging from now on.
