A Report from the Front

We're sittin' on the porch of Bead Cottage here on Tybee Island hearing the pool gurgle in the background while listening to Little Richard soulfully oozing out the strains of Hank's Lovesick Blues. Our wake-up call was an island shower dancing on the tin roof, and by the time we carried our breakfast out here, Mr. Sunshine had opened his arms to welcome us to another beautiful Georgia day.

We'll be mounting our Fat Tire bikes for the first of two rides today on the Atlantic bordered sands ... it's like people watching on steroids. Since the Sundae Cafe doesn't do Sundays, we have reservations there tonight to eke out one more Mother's Day enjoyment for Suzie. No matter where you are, the food there will justify your commute.

Our nightcap will be a Chocolate Thunder at Wet Willie’s. We first discovered the frozen-concoction establishment of highest eschelon on Savannah’s cobblestone River Street and have visited them in Charleston. That they opened their new Tybee Island location the evening before our arrival struck us as hospitable in the Southern tradition.

We are proud to be here soldiering in the war to promote absolute enjoyment of relaxed and entertaining life. Watch this page for more reports from the front.

Glad you and Suzie are here. How about a Noon meal at the Sundae Cafe on Wednesday.

You are on, Jim. This time we insist it's on us. We are looking forward to seeing you. If Becky has time, bring her along, too. I believe I'll be having a fried green tomato BLT with the battered sweet potato fries. Mmmm. We are sure glad you are our host in this suburb of heaven.

I am jealous. From your reports your Tybee getaway sounds wonderful. I am getting my beach fix closer to home this year. My mother is renting a house on Galveston island and inviting her children to join her. It should be a fun trip. Some day I want to try Tybee as it sounds like my kind of place. By the way, I finished The Savannah Project last night. It was a pretty good thriller. Have fun.
