Continued from Part 1 Tuesday arrives and my dear friend Erin and I sail over the causeway as the tide rushes into the marsh on both sides of the road. A slight chill fell into the air after the sun set behind the live oaks dripping with spanish moss. We were headed to a monthly four […]
The Week I Ate My Way Through Savannah and Tybee part 1 of 3
Part 1 of 3 Living in the south, you don’t have to go far to find great food. I had a super busy week both socially and for business, which included exquisite meals most every day of this week. Starting with last Friday we got a surprise call announcing a last minute visit from Sean’s […]
The Tide Rolls In
When I begin to describe Tybee for the first time to someone who’s never been here, one of the first questions asked is, “Can you drive there or do you have to take a boat or ferry?” Then I go on to explain the two bridges with a six mile causeway that connects us to […]
Be Happy Wen…How I Started This Blog
Sitting around the concrete slab of a bar at Hucapoos, over a year ago, my girlfriends and I were having an in depth discussion on life and what brings happiness to each of us. One friend said they had a relative that would always say “I’ll be happy when…fill in the blank” when I get […]
You Might Not Like Tybee If…
If you like to have your days and nights planned out to the minute and “responsible grown up” priorities in order then Tybee might not be the place for you. My schedule consists of things that I have to do and then there are the things that I want to do. These are spontaneous last […]
#livelikesusie
Monday was a difficult day for us to all get through, but leaning into each other we found a way. Over five hundred people gathered on the shore of the Savannah River at the north end of Tybee to say our farewells and “see ya laters” to Sweet Susan. There was a slight cloud cover, […]
Susan
I try to only write about the things that are uplifting, encouraging and give hope. There are bad things that happen all around, but I choose to not dwell on them. I don’t fill my head and creative space with 24 hour news channels. I figure someone around me will fill me in with the […]
219 weeks ago.
The first day we visited Tybee was the last day of our four day exploration trip to Savannah. When I searched my Instagram photos for this post, I found out that it was 219 weeks ago the first time we crossed the Lazaretto bridge. We were scouting for a new place to start over. We […]
“Fall” in Love with Tybee
Each year, when October rolls around, Tybee transforms into a much different place than it was, only two short months ago. It returns to a quaint, quiet small town that just happens to have a beach. US #80 is no longer a nine mile, two lane parking lot. We can go grocery shopping whenever we […]
4:29am
It’s 4:29 am. Everyone in my home is asleep. The fall temperatures are cool enough that our windows are open and the air conditioner is off. The only sound I hear is a constant roar in the near distance of the ocean. I assume it is high tide as the sound is much closer than […]
