Tybee

If all has gone according to plan Carol and I have spent Friday on the road to Lexington, Kentucky. On Saturday we attended the wedding of her sister Florence. Sunday we got back in the car and headed east to Tybee Island, Georgia.

If you follow this blog then you may remember that Carol and I along with John and his family vacationed there last May. My post earlier in January about surrender was accurate. We do not intend to spend another winter in Illinois. We are going to Tybee Island to look for a place to spend at least half the year. While I am not a big fan of moving anywhere that I can see another house from mine, I have had enough of winter. We woke up this morning to a temperature of -12 degree F. It was 50 degrees on Tybee Island this morning. It is now 2:30 in the afternoon in Western Illinois and the temperature is a balmy 4 degrees F. On Tybee Island it is 3:30 in the afternoon and it is 52 degrees F.

I will keep you all posted on our house hunt. We have been in contact with a realtor there and are looking forward to seeing what the area has to offer. For the geographically challenged Tybee Island is just a few miles south and east of Savannah, Georgia and is one of the barrier islands. The folks down there say that "Changes in latitude are good for the soul." Maybe it will also be true that changes in latitude lead to changes in attitude.
