Wrapped in pink taffeta, tulle, satin and chiffon, two by two they arrived to the American Legion Post 154 for the annual Tybee Prom. The fundraiser was created and continues each year by the dynamic sister duo, Sandy McCloud and Shirley Sessions. Each year the sold out event draws a crazy Tybee crowd. Dancing […]
We were young and ready to take on the world. Naive to think we knew what it was really going to take to be grown ups, but we sure as hell gonna to give it a shot. Not knowing where we would live to start our journey as a newly married couple, we planned a […]
A layer of clouds cover the island this morning. Not dark clouds, just white peaceful clouds. A little bit of light blue peeking through but not enough to guarantee a beach day. I am planning my day.
