weekly update 7/14/2014

On Sunday, the Dining Out group met, or the ones that are in Savannah through the hot summer (we missed those who are elsewhere). It was decided at the last event that we would like to tour Bonaventure Cemetery on one of my tours, and then go out to Johnny Harris' Restaurant. So that's what we did. Johnny Harris is long-time standing restaurant in Savannah, but I've not been there until now. Some in our group who have lived in Savannah for years, remembered when it was a dance hall. Trying to see it through their eyes, I was reminded of Bristol. When I was a lot younger than I am now, it was a ski resort in the winter, and a music venue in the summer. When 18-year-olds were allowed to drink legally, it was THE place to go to listen to the music and dance. Remember the Invictas?

I was fascinated by the Super Moon, so I drove out as far as Fort Pulaski to try to get a photo on Saturday night. My camera takes some pretty awful pictures, expecially in the dark, and from a distance - you get what you pay for. But I tried. I'll have another chance in August and again in September, so perhaps I can do better then. 

 

Other than that, I have returned to my normal, boring routine. Pool, eat, books, eat, tv, naps, eat some more. I did have a book club meeting at the library on Monday, and Suzy was in town briefly and it was good to see her. But that's about it.
