Tybee is an island filled with people that like to have fun. Which means there is usually some kind of party or celebration most any night of the week. Tybee is not just a pretty place to live at the beach. It is a tight knit community of 3,000 people that care about each other […]
There are several events a year that happen on Tybee and they all make me smile. But the one that is the closest to my heart is Surfers For Autism. SFA or Surfers for Autism, is an annual event on Tybee. The Boca Raton, Florida based organization travels to various locations in Florida, Georgia, Puerto […]
Anticipation and excitement grew as we prepared to move to a new town that was five hundred fifty-four miles and four states away. It was exciting and scary all at the same time. We had just swept clean the house we had been living in for a year. We had already sold or gave away […]

In recent days and weeks I have had several conversations with people who are excited about new doors opening and changes in store for them. Moving on to the next stage and chapter of their lives. New job, career change, school, moving to a new place, selling a house, buying a house, or completely starting […]
It’s been three years and I still haven’t gotten the hang of it. Here in the south the kids head back to school around the first week of August. Yesterday was the first day of school for many Tybee and Savannah students. This is when everyone announces “Summer’s over!” “What??” I exclaim, “It was 98 […]
