It’s a typical work day on tybee. We got home at 2:07 am. Sean just finished his last set at the Sandbar after hosting open mic as he belted out Guardian Angel to the packed bar. I log in 6 hours of sleep and wake up to my preprogrammed pot of hot coffee. As I […]
Do you ever have a time when you are driving along and completely zone out, miss a turn and not even realize it till you are miles away? You clearly know the route you were supposed to take, but your mind was in another place. Not paying attention to the present. You were fixated on […]
Sitting across the table from the recruiting officer, listening to his descriptive adventures of being an Airdale flight navigator. Our son Carder, at age seventeen was asked what he would like to do for the Coast Guard. He replied “I.T.” The petty officer, said “Oh, no, you don’t want to do that. You would end […]
An hour after sunset, I attempt blow dry my hair. Although it’s so humid, I can’t get it fully dry. Ah…gotta love summertime in the south. Deciding to move here, after our first visit in July of 2011, when it was sweltering hot. I admit, I was a little afraid of the heat. Now, almost […]

Rich coffee aroma, draws me into the open living room/dining room/kitchen of our little apartment. I never regret taking time […]
Now that the warm weather is here to stay, I plan on using my bike to get around more often. A favorite summertime activity for Ava and me is to ride our bikes to watch the sunset. Tonight after we finished eating and cleaning up the kitchen, we grabbed our bikes and headed to the […]
Warning: It is the day after Mother’s Day and I’m gonna brag on my kids, they spoiled me yesterday. It started with Ava making me breakfast and giving beautiful homemade gifts. I had the morning with Kyleigh chatting on the sofa while I sipped my coffee, a nice long phone call with my mom. Then […]
Several options are available when traveling from one end of the island to the other. If we’re not drinking, then the obvious choice is taking our own car. Once the night gets started we have our favorite rounds that we make and they are on both ends of the island. We always make a responsible […]
Walking up the steps of the Tybee pier just before the sun bursts through the clouds throwing thousands of diamonds across the sea is how my work day started this morning. I had not had my coffee yet, but the sunrise and waking day waits for no one. I am working on an image as […]
