When I was the Recipient of ‘Pay it Forward’
Trina and I met a couple of years ago through a mutual friend. But it wasn’t until October of last year that we got to know each other and become friends. Sean and I were returning home from a business trip in Austin Texas. We had been dropped at the airport when we left Savannah, […]
Beachview B&B Wedding Pavilion on Tybee Island
Truly a labor of love. Karen Kelly, owner of Beachview B&B was compelled to protect the property at 1701 Butler Ave. In the lot next to the B&B, she put up an old timey pavilion that is perfect for weddings and events so that nothing else could ever be constructed there. Preserving the Tybee architecture […]

Procrastinate NOW, don’t put it off.

Looking for DIY studio set ideas?
There are times when I have so many ideas floating in my head of things I want to do, that I just can’t pick one and do it. Like writing for my blog for instance. I could call it writers block, but it isn’t really. I just have to stop, pick something and start writing. […]
Walking around the world in Flip Flops.
After breakfast, Sean and I headed to our second white water rafting excursion that week. Driving several miles down the main coastal highway, a dirt road covered in boulders, we came upon a young girl in her early twenties, carrying a backpack that was almost taller than herself. Her flip flops were a monotone beige from […]
