We have extended our stay in Jesup, Georgia through March. The guys are trying to finish the duplex before we all have to leave.
We have enjoyed our time here. Most of the bad weather has been north of us, although we have had a few nights below freezing. The lakes here on the property are very peaceful and have visitations from many different kinds of birds. There is quite a large family of turtles that call this area home. Just recently one of the boys saw an alligator, but we have yet to get a picture. He is very elusive.
Allan and I have made several trips to Savannah, Brunswick and St. Simons Island. I attended a craft fair in Savannah and while there a fire broke out near the bridge we had to cross. It was a warehouse full of raw rubber which burned all day and into the next day. Black smoke was billowing up above the skyline. We have been to St. Simons Island three times so far. Barbara Jeans Restaurant was recommended so we ate there and drove around the island. There were revolutionary and civil war veterans buried at Christ Church cemetery. Allan toured the Fort Frederica which was built when Georgia was a colony. There is not much left of the fort now, but there is a visitor's center. Our second visit was with our group. We attended church in Brunswick where several of our workers had help construct the church a few years earlier. Of course, we went out to eat afterwards on St. Simons Island. Last Sunday was Jeanne's birthday. Gene and Marilyn went with us to the same church and we had a birthday dinner at the Olive Garden. That afternoon we went to a play at St. Simons Island called "Busybody".
When we leave Jesup we will have been here 11 weeks and Katie has been a happy kitty. I have included a picture of her sunning herself on the dash. Our original plans were to be here through February which would have put us in areas where they had snow and ice so we are happy we stayed put.
