I've been neglectful of my blog and for you that are loyal readers, I apologize. I continue to be humbled and grateful for anyone who takes a little peek at these passages and pictures.
On to the topic....
My Eldest is a Brownie Scout, which is a branch of the Girl Scouts. I believe in other parts of the world, they are referred to as Girl Guides. In any case, My Eldest is in her third year of serving as a Brownie. We're in the throes of cookie selling now, so be sure to support your local scout troop and buy, buy, buy or donate, donate donate!
For Christmas, My Family took a road trip to Savannah, Georgia. Savannah, Georgia is the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low. It was our last day in town. We were going to leave in the afternoon so that we could make it as far as Atlanta, Georgia because we wanted to take the tour of the Coca Cola plant. On the way out, we toured my sister-in-law's salon which is in the romantic and historic section of Savannah called Forsythe Park. After the tour, she wanted to take a deposit to the bank. As we were winding through the streets to the bank, we saw a giant sign that read JULIETTE GORDON LOW'S BIRTHPLACE with an arrow pointing toward the house.
The Brood ventured to the house. It was my intention to have My Eldest hop out of the car, stand in front of the house, I'd snap a quick photo, we'd hop back into the car and head to Atlanta.
Yeah. That sooooo didn't happen!
We parked, walked over to the house. The house was open, so we ended up taking a tour of her home! It was very informative and actually kind of fun. Supposedly the house is haunted by Juliette's grandmother. My Eldest and I learned a lot (like did you know that back in Juliette's day, pink was for boys and blue was for girls?), and we both left slightly sad about how her life ended. So instead of one quick photo, I thought I'd share some of the ones we took. Look how sweet My Girl looks. *preen*
Buy Samoas!
Whoosh!
