As I'm driving home from church today I was thinking about how I need to get gas and its only 19 degrees out side and all the snow. As I was looking at the weather around me it made me miss Savannah so much.....
This is a picture to show you the beauty for Savannah. How the trees go over the roads its just beautiful. but this is what I'm living in now
Snow in the very cold state of Michigan.
About 2 years ago my husband and I made the diction to move back to Michigan to be with his kids muff and little bit(not real names) and our family. Its really hard to work in the retail world and have family that lives 5 states away from you. Lots of holidays with just the two of use. Talking to your kids and family on the phone is just not the same. We missed our family very much but man I think they should have moved to Savannah be with use.
LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT SAVANNAH, GA
Since her founding in 1733, Savannah has been one of America’s favorite destinations for business and pleasure. Today, she attracts nearly seven million visitors every year, sparking seven million cases of love at first sight.
Located in the heart of Coastal Georgia's Low country, Savannah is a city of rare natural beauty—of azaleas in bloom and stately oaks draped with Spanish moss. These landscapes have been lovingly enhanced by two centuries of manmade splendor, from her distinctive park-like squares and cobblestone streets to the magnificent architecture of her storied antebellum homes and churches.
Such is the beauty of Savannah that General Sherman spared her the torch during his March to the Sea. Instead, he presented her to an enthusiastic President Abraham Lincoln as a Christmas gift.
Down on river street in Savannah you will meet the waving girl here is her store: Just after the Civil War in 1868, a girl was born on Cockspur Island in the former quarters of the engineer officers. The child was named Florence Martus, the daughter of an ordnance sergeant at Fort Pulaski.
From the old stone pier on the north shore of Cockspur Island young Florence first saw the passing ships going with cargoes to the farthest corners of the globe. The small child was fascinated by these ships and waved her handkerchief as they passed by. Sailors on the ships often waved back.
A few years later Florence went to live with her brother, a light keeper, in a small cottage close by the riverbank, about five miles up river from Fort Pulaski. From this time on she waved at every ship that passed—a table cloth or towel by day, a lantern by night. For more than 44 years she never missed a ship, and each ship, as it passed, returned her salute with three blasts of the whistle. Many stories were told of this small girl, who finally grew to be a white-haired old lady. Florence Martus passed away in 1943, but her efforts live on in the stories and legends of the Waving Girl of Savannah.
Savannah is just such a really cool city full of Art and history. If you are every looking for a new place to go or just a place to get away from the snow take a trip down to the great city of Savannah, and when Tom is done with school and God gives us the ok to move back there, you are always welcome to stop by and have a glass of sweet tea...Here are some more pictures of the time that we were in this great place. I hope you enjoy....
