Coronavirus Cancels Our Big Trip to Europe
Coronavirus and the measures associated with it have been all over the news lately. Tom and I have been paying particular attention to it, but not for the usual reasons. We had a big trip scheduled to begin April 22: a four-month cruise to Europe. We had been planning and paying for the trip for …
Sick of Winter? Some Blooms to Give You Hope
Are you sick of winter yet? Our family and friends in Ohio has been enjoying a very mild winter. But mild still means lots of gray days with slushy snow and cold rain. Not what we get here on St. Simon’s Island. So I thought I would share some of the pictures I’ve taken of …
Mosaic, the Jekyll Island Museum
While Kris Moye was visiting we took her to Jekyll Island and visited Mosaic, the Jekyll Island Museum.

Oculus Quest: Virtual Reality in the RV
Tom got an Oculus Quest for Christmas. Well, I ordered it at the beginning of December and it finally shipped the middle of January, so it was a late Christmas present. It was also, pretty much, his only Christmas present as John and Jackie went in with me on it. Tom loves to play video …
Coastal Brass Choir In Concert
St. Simon’s Island offers wonderful free concerts during the winter season. In January Tom and I went to hear a local group, the Coastal Brass Choir, play a concert at St. Simons United Methodist Church. The Coastal Brass Choir is a volunteer group with a wonderful “temporary” conductor. The conductor, Paul Reed, is the music …

Fort Frederica was recently awarded the Clean Sweep Award by the Keep Golden Isles Beautiful Committee. Our site supervisor, Ranger Steve, asked Tom and I to go and accept the award because I do the roadside cleanup and Tom has done so much to improve the grounds. The award is presented quarterly by the Keep …
