An American Dream

Another Sunday service at Parris Island. Today we had a large group and talked about Passover and the meaning of freedom. Again our recruits and marines love the teddy bear and stand proud.

With A Song in my Heart

Jeff performed two shows today with his barbershop chorus, New River Harmony. It was lots of fun with great music and Savannah TV personality, Sonny Dixon, as emcee. Jeff is getting ready to go in the bottom photo. The middle is the first act with their very loud jackets. The women's barbershoppers share the stage for some of the show.

Food, Glorious Food

A visit to Tybee Beach with Judy Stoogenke and Jeff relaxing on the boardwalk. Later we went to The Crab Shack and Marvin tried to "eat the whole thing."

Ballad of the Green Berets

A fabulous day visiting Ft. Pulaski, just outside of Savannah. This fort was just used as the setting of Robert Redford's new movie, The Conspirator. Lots to see and do with our friends Judy & Marvin Stoogenke.

Bye Bye Birdie

We love our backyard and the birds. The Red-bellied Woodpecker comes around often and pecks on our palm tree as well as eating lots of bird seed. The Eastern Bluebird and his mate are checking out our Bluebird House and have decided to move in and start a family. I think the yellow one is a Warbler - very cute!

Back in the Saddle Again

I went horseback riding again with Brittany Welch, the grandaughter of our friends Judy & Sam Emmett. A beautiful day on the trail with lots of sunshine and beautiful trees and plants. Top photo is Judy with her grandson, Craig. Bottom is Judy & Sam with some gorgeous azaleas.

Somewhere That's Green

This song title from "Little Shop of Horrors" sums up our back yard. Top photo is an anhinga sunning by the lagoon. Next is the back of our house and then a bluebird sitting atop his house. Bottom is a young alligator (one year) at the bottom of our property. We had three young gators out there recently and one large one on the other side of the lagoon.
