On Oct. 15 we drove a rental car from Cary to the airport in Savannah, where Barb forgot her cell phone in the rental and Mike Dayoub met us and transported us to his lovely home on Modena Island.  Mike and Iris hosted us for our entire visit to the Savannah area, and loaned us one of their cars.   Such warm and gracious folks.

We were able to spend some time with daughter Danielle and her daughters Kristen and Abby, who live in Rincon, a town north of Savannah.  Barb and Kristen did some horseback riding, we attended a birthday party for Abby at a go-cart/fun house, and we all met at a farm that featured a maze in a cornfield, as well as other attractions.

We also had lunch with friends Dick and Karen Munson.  Dick was a colleague of mine at Armstrong Atlantic State University.   Hard to believe that I retired some seven years ago, and Dick ten!  And speaking of ex-colleagues,  Joy Reed had us over for dinner one night.   She is still at Armstrong, so is was fun to get caught up on departmental news.  She also prepared a delicious dinner for us.

Steve Ellis and wife Beth Logan had the Shipleys and the Dayoubs over for a gourmet dinner one night.   It is always fun to get caught up with Steve and Beth.  Their home is overflowing with art created by Beth and others.   And the twig furniture is created by Steve.
