Rather disconnected (at least with the virtual world) last week, I didn't have a chance to make daily posts. Here are my thoughts of gratitude for each day ... in reverse!
#22: Home
There is no place like home at the end of a journey, no matter how great the respite has been. Having your own bed and knowing you belong rooted to someplace is somehow very comforting. After hundreds of wonderful miles of exploration, it is good to be home.
#21: Games
We spent the night playing board games (Pandemic, Dominion, Puerto Rico, and Set) with a couple of good friends. There's nothing like a rainy evening indoors playing games (with some good wine, nice snacks, and great company) to make for a perfect Friday night.
#20: Wonderland
It was rainy today, so we headed out to the Cinema to relax and be entertained. We saw the Tim Burton version based on Lewis' Alice in 3D.
#19: Green Spaces
Today we toured Savannah, Georgia and escaped to all of her gorgeous, historic green spaces and squares (pictures forthcoming).
#18: Gators
The plantation Magnolia south of Charleston, SC is situated in swampland. With the warm temps, the gaters were out to sun themselves! Magnificent animals (we were assured that they are anything but dangerous in the spring when they are just warming up to get their body temperatures high enough to feed - phew!).
#17: History
Charleston revealed some of its secrets to us today. All kinds of stories tucked in this amazing city. We pondered stories over soul food at Jestine's Kitchen, took a guided carriage ride through town, and wandered through the mazes of mansions, important memorials, and other historical sites. Man, this place has some stories to tell (and a lot of good food to eat!).

Did you go to the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts? I'm guessing not... :) But she was from Savannah and Girl Scout birthday was last Friday - 98 years!
In fact, we did see her house, the first GS meeting place, as well as the first headquarters... Believe it or not, I thought of you plenty!!! Some interesting her-stories around that place. (I introduced Uli to his GS cookie experience yesterday. Fully approved!)
