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.\u00a0 Mike and Iris hosted us for our entire visit to the Savannah area, and loaned us one of their cars.\u00a0\u00a0 Such warm and gracious folks.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
We also had lunch with friends Dick and Karen Munson.\u00a0 Dick was a colleague of mine at Armstrong Atlantic State University. \u00a0\u00a0Hard to believe that I retired some seven years ago, and Dick ten! \u00a0And speaking of ex-colleagues, \u00a0Joy Reed had us over for dinner one night. \u00a0 She is still at Armstrong, so is was fun to get caught up on departmental news. \u00a0She also prepared a delicious dinner for us.<\/p>\n
Steve Ellis and wife Beth Logan had the Shipleys and the Dayoubs over for a gourmet dinner one night.\u00a0\u00a0 It is always fun to get caught up with Steve and Beth. \u00a0Their home is overflowing with art created by Beth and others.\u00a0\u00a0 And the twig furniture is created by Steve.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
