We Did It

Well we put in a bid on a house yesterday and after a bit of back and forth today we settled. So after the closing on March 7th we will own a home on Tybee Island. If you want to take a look at things then google 18 Anderson Court Tybee Island, Georgia.

There are some things you learn when you go to a new place. We went to Huc A Poos last night and ordered nachos. They were okay but they weren't Budde's nachos. They will never be Budde's nachos. A couple of nights ago we had pizza from Lighthouse Pizza. It wasn't Budde's pizza. It was okay. We have had several meals at Sting Rays Seafood. This is where Tybee Island kicks back home's ass. You don't get this seafood back home. It was in the ocean yesterday and it is on your plate today. Cooked perfectly. We have been going to a bar called Benny's. The bartender is a very nice lady named Tess. She doesn't know a stranger. We got to meet the owner today. His name is Benny Bob. I said something about that being a southern thing with the two names and got schooled. It is a mountain thing and he wants to be called Benny. The beer is cold but the selection is thin. Craft beer is not a staple on Tybee Island. Maybe we will lead them into a place where beer is not quite so cold and actually has some flavor. The place isn't Budde's but it is a dive kind of place we like.

Change comes to all of us from time to time and for Carol and I it is time for a change. They were complaining about the cold here today. It was 37. STFU. That ain't cold.

  1. Congratulations on your new winter abode. Map questing shows that I will be a scant 6 1/2 hours away should you need help raking the yard or re-screening the porch.
    It doesn't always hold true but I have found that change is usually refreshing and expands our horizons. Best of luck with your new horizon.
    PS - As I type this at Hardee's in Aledo it is snowing. You remember that stuff, don't you? It is a phenomenon that rarely occurs on Tybee Island.
