St Simons Is , GA

We flew overnight west coast east coast (Portland OR to Newark NJ) and connected with flight to Asheville NC. Had only 1 night with Betty at Deerfield , but then had a week with her after getting back from St Simons Is. At 94 she's remarkably fit mentally and physically. Still taking piano lessons from the admirable Karen. The 3 of us with Karen had dinner at the Corner Kitchen but sadly missed the opp to record on camera.  Next time! So no pics of Betty this time.

Drove down to St Simons Is for weekend with Janie , Tim and Laura who was "delivering' Lily while off on a business trip to Africa. A really delightful visit and we were royally entertained as the pics demonstrate.

Had a good breakfast visit with Alastair near Savannah on the way back to Asheville.

An early morning beach walk with Lily. Note the kite in center of pic and the 'surfer' attached to it flying across the water at  frightening speed

Janie, Laura and M on their deck with breahttaking view eastwards

Martha S drove down from Atlanta. Here with M & Janie about to embark on a river trip courtesy of her very kind and hugely knowledgable neighbour

Wish I could describe all the magnificent things we saw that afternoon. A truly memorable trip

Janie and our playing partners on one of St Simonds Is'  best courses.

A most impressive follow through. Janie quite undaunted by the formidable hazard. Result not recorded, but I know the shot was better than mine.

Yep - you got it ! Tee to green.  Didn't want to go looking for your ball here

And a wonderful dinner on the deck. Lily well settled in!
