New Mermaid Sighting!

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

One of our recents cottage visitors who stayed at SeaGlass Cottage sent us their mermaid sighting! Here’s their report in their own words.

“I’ve been following the Mermaid sightings on your blog and thought you might like this photo from our visit to the Sea Glass. Our daughter picked up the mermaid doll on a daytrip to the SC aquarium in Charleston. She brought her Emily Windsnap book with her on our Tybee visit. If you’re not familiar with this tween book series, it’s about a 12 yr old who discovers she’s a mermaid. See, mermaids ARE everywhere!
We had an absolutely fantastic time and are already planning next year’s beach adventure! Thank you so very much for creating the perfect cottage get-aways for all all-too-busy family.”
Anne, Ned and the Davis family
Thank you Davis Family!

Farewell to Randy Pausch

1 Comment / Uncategorized /

I’m sure most of you have heard or seen Dr. Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture” either on You Tube, Oprah, Good Morning America or have purchased the book. Over 6 Million people have seen this on YouTube. This very inspirational man died recently of the Pancreatic cancer he was diagonosed with over a year ago. Living almost 6 months longer then most people who have his disese. Of all the quotes and stories from his lecture- there are three that really stayed with me.
“Brick walls are not there to keep us out. The Brick Walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The Brick Walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly. They are there to stop OTHER people.”
“Eeyore or Tigger- you can either face life with the joy and excitement of Tigger or the doom and gloom of Eeyore. You decide which way you to live your life.”
“Care about someone ‘s happiness more then you care about yourself. That’s why it took me 39 years to find that person and get married. “

If any of you have not seen or heard Randy’s “Last Lecture” please take the time to go to his website and do so. Inspirational isn’t a word big enough to do his talk justice…

Gary and Sue’s Wedding Anniversary boat trip

1 Comment / Uncategorized /

Gary ( our accounting office) and Sue ( one of our favorite Tybee realtors) celebrated their wedding anniversary in a very Tybee way- going out with Captain Elizabeth Johnson of Tybee Island Charters to Little Tybee for a nature excursion. Here are some pictures of their re- energizing morning. The bird is an oyster catcher, a very rare bird to see up close, but one they saw on the trip. I have not personally gone out with Captain Elizabeth yet, but will certainly plan to and will report back to you all about my own adventure. In the meantime, be sure you ask Gary about his wonderful experiences on the trip next time you call the accounting office – 912 786 5499.
Please visit the website for Captain Elizabeth on http://www.fishtybee.com/ or call 912 786 -4801 and take a fishing trip or nature trip with her!

Our Grand Finale for Artist Week- Annoucing Gypsy!

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

How do you not love a traveling Artist named Gypsy! Especially when she paints mermaids and fish and palm trees. One of our regular Mermaid Cottages guests, Missy, told me all about her, and next thing you knew, Gypsy was here on Tybee and we have her art in Sea Side Sisters! Enjoy these pictures, be sure you go to her website http://www.gypsyfolk.com/ and of course plan to attend her art show later this fall ( dates to be advised) at SeaSide Sisters. Thank you Gypsy for sharing your art and happy spirit!

PS- for those of you staying at Dutton Waller Cottage, be sure to check out the new tree swing and the fish art she created on the seat. The swing was already great fun for kids and adults alike, but now it’s even better!

My Mom, Cullen Jones, and his Olympic Gold Medal Win

1 Comment / Fun on Tybee /

What does Olympic Gold Medal Athelete and my Mom have in common? No, it’s not beacuse they are both winners. It’s that commerical that is running non stop during the Olympics where Cullen is thanking his mom for all her support!
He is such a genuine and authentic young man, you just want to burst with pride because he is one of the many exceptional people representing our country! I just heard his interview on NPR and they played the commerical on the air. Still makes you tear up without seeing the pictures!
My mom has always been there to support me and I’d love to do a commerical telling her how much she means to me! She just started to learn how to use a computer at the age of 81 and even better- has figured out how to read my blog daily- so I know she’s reading this! So as Cullen told his mom- Thanks Mom!!!
Play this great commerical especially if you haven’t seen it before. Even if you have seen it, play it again- just to remember your own Mom and what she’s done to support you .
