Paula Deen

When we were in Savannah yesterday, we walked over by Paula Deen's restaurant, The Lady & Son's. It was amazing to be by this restaurant right before dinner (it was about 5ish when we were there). Apparantely people start to line up around 1:30 or 2 to get in line to make reservations for dinner. Maybe they get in, maybe they don't. I don't know if I would wait around for a place like this... but clearly there are many fans of this Food Network star that would. We went into her gift shop and they had all sorts of things for adoring fans. We bought water and that was that! I kinda felt bad for the surrounding restaurants. Wonder if they felt left out or unappreciated?! I also wondered if The Lady & Son's were in the Entertainment Book!! I would have hated for that restaurant to be on my target list!!

Tybee Island

Yesterday I met Irene and a couple of her friends over in Savannah. She was speaking at a conference at the convention center. We went over to Tybee Island which is about 25 minutes outside of Savannah. I'd never been there before and really enjoyed looking around there. I was surprised how many people were on the beach. It was a nice day, but still a bit chilly for the beach (in my opinion) It was windy, too. There was a run away umbrella that was coming straight towards us. We caught it and gave it back to it's owner. It was a nice day.

Will was disappointed tonight

Will had it in his head that he wanted to have a sleep-over tonight. He wanted his friends Bridget and Jack to come over and spend the night. After all, Mom and Dad had their friend Irene spend the night last night, why couldn't he have his friends spend the night tonight?

But, he didn't contact their mom until 6pm and I explained that that is not really enough time to coordinate a sleepover, he didn't see what the problem was. He wanted to go back to California, where he had a lot of sleepovers. Then he didn't like being an olny child...because it is so boring!!!
I feel bad for him sometimes when he wants his family close by him. I know how he feels!
