Silver in Savannah

"Silver in Savannah" is an exhibit at the Telfair Museum, running until early August. I would love to go see this, and pine away at the amazing collection. I love my silver, and even enjoy polishing it. Such instant gratification! My first full time job, after high school, was at a beautiful store called Douglass China in the Hilldale Mall in Madison. I polished lots of silver, and came away with a deep appreciation for it. It also began my collection of china.

That's Mommy to You

J drew me this picture tonight, and then asked how to spell my name. I asked, Gwen or Mommy? He said Gwen, so I spelled it out and he went off to sign his masterpiece. He presented this, with great flourish, explaining that "it's one of those big trees in Savannah with the stuff (Spanish moss)hanging from it". "I know you will like this, because you like it there." I could just spread him on toast!

Nobody touched anyone before Vacation!

My son's 1st grade class had 7 kids out today. Out of 16! After assembly this morning, I told his class, "Okay now, nobody touched or breath on J!" Then Mrs. V yelled, "Or Me!" We start a winter break Friday, and we are headed for our cottage in Door Co. for the weekend. Not my favorite place to go, but my husband and the boys love it. I bring lots of reading material and think about how I would redecorate it. This is a family owned cottage, so I won't be redecorating. Our room looks great, the rest of the house is not in my taste. Oh well, maybe someday I will have a beach cottage in Savannah or Charleston. Ah, to dream........
