VISIT TO JEKYLL ISLAND

We had visitors this week and went to Sapelo Island one day and Jekyll Island another day. Friends and relatives always seem to enjoy both places.

On Jekyll we went to the Turtle Center where several cold stunned turtles had been brought in. Not from Maine or New York or even North Carolina waters, though. From Florida, the sunshine state!

And as always we enjoyed seeing some of the old houses that were summer homes of the Vanderbilts and other notables around the turn of the century. That's 1900, not 2000.

Here's the Crane Cottage...some cottage!

And the Cherokee Cottage...ah, that's more like it!

And the Jekyll Island Hotel...oh, look! Croquet players!

Those folks knew how to have fun!

OLD TOWN

I am still having problems with this idiotic program. I had to diddle with every button on my blog to finally find a way to get in. For techie ignoramuses (ignoramusi??) like me, it's torture!

Anyway, I wanted to post some photos I sent to the guy working on my new light mystery cover.

We went over to Old Town on the mainland, where there are lots of old houses. Some are renovated and spiffy but some, sadly, are falling down. Anyway,my guy snapped away to his heart's content. Many of the houses he photographed weren't suitable for a cover, lovely as they were, but three were kind of what we needed. He's worked on them to take out power lines and cars, naturally.

The interesting part came later, when I read the crime blotter in the paper. Evidently, the same day we were walking around taking pictures, police arrested a man wandering naked in that part of town. I don't think he was taking pictures.

Come to think of it, I don't know what he was doing! It was a fairly warm day but...
