Mom & I went into Savannah on Tuesday - some random pics from the day...

Miss Ohio

Oh me oh my oh, look at Miss Ohio
She’s a-running around with her rag-top down
She says I wanna do right but not right now

Woo-hoo

Gas is down to $2.89 here this morn. That's the cheapest I've seen it in ages! Makes me feel like I could actually drive to Savannah guilt-free.

Arrrgh... me hearties!

Katy, Beth, Levi, & I went over to Tybee Island on Saturday to check out the Pirate Fest (the sickly men stayed home) - it was amazing fun - I'm already planning my costume for next year. It's held right on the beach front in the old town area, so not only can you shop & be part of all the pirate action, you can take an ocean dip as well. Here's the 'official' write up:

AHOY MATES!

Swashbucklers of all ages will be converging on Tybee Island to participate in the 4th Annual Tybee Island Pirate Fest! Don your most colorful pirate's costume, and gather your Krewe of marauding buccaneers, because Tybee will be overrun and invaded by pirates.

GANGWAY!

The Pirate Fest Invasion will be on Friday, October 10th, festivities begin at 6pm in the shadow of the Tybee Pier & Pavilion. The pirates and their buccaneers will invade Tybee with cannons blazing, in search of Tybee's Mayor Jason Buelterman and the 'key to the city.' Once the key has been surrendered the pirates will party Friday and Saturday with live entertainment. The Thieves Market will be filled with treasures from different Ports of Call along with grog & grub to feed the Scurvy Dogs!

Pokin' around

Levi about to make a faceplant at the supper table = what happens when you refuse to nap at Montessori with the rest of the class.

We drove over to Ft. Stewart this evening - took a long drive down some dirt roads - here's the Canoochee at a wooden bridge crossing - near where a civil war engagement occurred.

This fella' was in the road comin' & going - a little gator - around five feet long.

our little helper - doing dishes - gettin' some home trainin'!

there are hundreds of miles of dirt roads across Ft. Stewart

Come, Fill the Cup

Come, fill the cup, and in the fire of spring
Your winter garment of repentance fling.
The bird of time has but a little way
To flutter - and the bird is on the wing.

-Omar Khayyam (1048-1122)

October!

One of my favorite months of the year & it's finally here!

Typically the driest month for Georgia, to me it's... pumpkins - leaves turning - fresh venison - Saturday football/beer/grilling out - low humidity! - pulling out some of the winter woolies - Halloween! - and all those great fall festivals...

This year it just happens to be the month to visit Richmond Hill, or so our families have decided - the Burnam's will be visiting next weekend and then the Neely's the following.
