Today, we spent the day in Savannah, GA with Katie and Ruby on “Silver Linings”. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful town with great friends.  

We toured the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist church. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions on Savannah. The volunteers do a great job providing historic information about the beautiful stain glass and wood carvings. And, before we left, we took time to pray.

We then toured the Wayne-Gordon House. His second wife, Juliette Gordon Low is the founder of the Girl Scouts. The house has great history. Juliette recruited girls all over town at churches, synagogues, family, friends and acquaintances. She held elaborate teas in her parlor to recruit as well. Another, interesting fact, Robert E. Lee stayed there when he was older, and people tried to meet him.  

We then had lunch at Mrs. Wilkes house. They are well known for their fried chicken and family style meals. They served approximately 20 dishes for us to sample. All of it was fantastic. We got to meet Mrs. Wilkes’ granddaughter and hear her stories and she signed her cookbook that we bought. 

Afterwards, we toured the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). They have a fun, interactive movie and tour. It was fun to hear the story of its founder, Paula Wallace. She was a kindergarten teacher with a dream for a different kind of college and preparing students for a career in art and design. 

We ended our tour at Leopold’s Ice Cream!  Long line but great ice cream!!

Later that evening, “Heartbeat” invited everyone over for dinner. We played games again including our favorite care game Shanghai.
