A Stranger in Savannah

I bet you all thought I fell off the planet. I am still out here kickkin’ on the road. I am in Savannah again this week.

I really enjoy my drives down here from Myrtle Beach. I left Monday morning at about 5 AM with the big old full moon in the clear skies. These trips take me about 5 hours to drive so there is plenty of time to myself to think and listen to music.

I was really starting to get bummed out about winter lasting so long. I was thinking to myself how I really needed to see trees with leaves on them. Sure enough about an hour later I was in Charleston and some of the Redbuds have started blooming. That means spring is not that far off for those of us that live way up north in South Carolina. Those few little trees made my day.

Today President Obama was in town here. He spoke at a building about a block away from where I am staying. I really expected the traffic to be a zoo due to the presidential motorcades. Much to my surprise the roads were empty since they cancelled classes at the school. The drive home was not bad either.

I did see a lot of Secret Service folks around the hospital today though.

I’ll try not to go months between posts. I just need to post a picture here or there. Hope everyone is doing well out there.

I know the writer's block you have, you are out there living your day to day and figure nothing is interesting for us to read, it's the same ol same ol - sometimes wonder how I can keep writing about animal antics. But you're right - just take a picture and the story comes naturally.

Thanks for posting & letting us know what you're up to! I think in the winter esp. you don't think anything interesting is happening, once in awhile something pops up!

That Savannah project must be a long one! It's kind of fun witnessing all the hubub when a President arrives. We were at the Embassy Suites/Portland Airport one time when Air Force One with Jorge Bush landed. All the black suburbans with tailgates up and weapons locked and loaded! Our room overlooked the motorcade. Craig warned me to keep my broomstick away from the window! : )
