Weekly Update 02/6/2022

Back at Davenport House! It felt good to be back. It wasn’t busy, and I don’t like it when it’s slow. The afternoon seems to drag when there’s not much to do. I only had to give two tours, and they were both small. But I surprised myself by remembering to include all the facts that I’ve regurgitated through the years. And it was great to catch up with staff that I hadn’t seen in a month. Since I wasn't exhausted from giving tours and answering questions, I met with the friends at Wednesday Happy Hour. I haven’t done that in a few weeks, and it was good to see them, too.

Thursday, because it was threatening to rain, the Green Square friends met at Whole foods for coffee again. Then, I met Kathryn for lunch at The Vault, a nice fusion restaurant. She is a friend from Bonaventure, and I don’t see many of those people much any more. We both go to the Learning Center book club, so we made plans to meet before the book discussion this month for lunch. I enjoyed catching up with her and the BHS happenings. Book Club was OK, too.

The Colonial Faire, which is part of Georgia Days in Savannah, was held this weekend. Sunday was Super Museum Sunday, when most museums open their doors for free (with generally reduced tours and hours), and I usually avoid that. I can go to all museums any time I want, and I don’t like to be in the crowds. Also, it was scheduled to rain all day, another reason to stay away. I met Kay for breakfast, and that was all I needed to go out for.

But Saturday, I really wanted to go to the Faire. It is one of my very favorite events here, and I don’t like to miss it. It was not warm (hey, it’s still February!), but at least it was dry. I loved watching the parade of revolutionary war soldiers, British and American, and seeing all the demonstrations of cooking, blacksmithing, wood carving, silversmithing, toys and games, candle making, Native Americans, cannon and musket firings, etc. I’m very easy to entertain.

Adrian is perfect. I had photos this week of him going bowling! Sarah and Jack are surely involving him in a wide variety of experiences!
