My weekend as a Pom Pom Girl

I’m off to my college for Homecoming this weekend, but even bigger ( especially since I haven’t been to one Homecoming in 30 years) is I’m attending because of the 100th Year Anniversary of the Marching Band- of which my Pom Pom Squad was part. More to come on this after the weekend, but in the meantime, here’s a picture of my squad in 1974 at the University of Maryland ( can you find me with my Farrah Fawcett hairstyle which we all had in 1973 on?)
You can also visit the website we have set up for the weekend http://www.pomterrapindancers.shutterfly.com/ for all the details and pictures! My years were 1969- 1977 with my actual years 1973- 1977. Enjoy!

Yes, these are some of our owners…

 

Pirate Fest here on Tybee brings out the best in people. Yes, these well dressed “adults” are some of our cottage home owners…. Truly having a great time over Pirate Fest a few weekends agao. We all had so much fun ( even those of us dressed in normal clothes) that we all decided that NEXT year’s pirate fest we are going to participate in the Saturday Afternoon parade down Butler Ave- we’re going to be Pirate Mermaids! Haven’t yet decided if we want to be on bikes or have a float- if we do bikes, then everyone can particapate. Don’t worry, we’ll give you all plenty of notice so all of you can be here on Tybee attired in your best mermaid and merman pirate clothes! If your schedule allows next October to join us for Pirate Fest- visit the website for more details. This really is a great time for all ages! http://www.tybeepiratefest.com/

Julia Reilly blew into Tybee last weekend with her mom Nancy. She took over the island! Such fun seeing everything thru the eyes of a little child who’s only 21 months old. Her pure joy of the ocean, the beach, the big girl chair she got to sit on and of course the dogs. She adored Danny and Max and spent every possible minute with them. Crawling all over them, riding them like they were horses , best of all, “reading” books to them! Enjoy these pictures and hurry back Julia! Tybee misses you already!!!

Marsh Henson- she paints, she kayaks, she does it all!


 

 


 

 

Tybee is such a melting pot of talent. No one just does one thing and usually they do several things and do it very well! Marsha Henson is one such person. She paints, she runs a business, she plans international events, she travels! Best of all, you can be the recipient of several of her talents.
  • Her Art! In her on words…”The natural landscape and all elements therein have always drawn me like a magnet. I am equally amazed by a vast panorama or a one inch square of wilderness. The driving force behind my painting is combining different pieces of a landscape such as trees or flowers in a way that expresses my impression of them. This sometimes leads to a painting being similar to what I am observing or sometimes it looks more like my impression.
    The variations in habitat on the Georgia coast, particularly the islands, offer a fresh and always changing perspective and I get my best inspiration from simply looking out my back door…”
  • Her Business! Marsha and her best friend , partner and favorite guy Ronnie co-own and operate Sea Kayak Georgia. This wonderful kayak center is the Tybee headquarters for gear, trips, tours, instruction and even a place to stay ( The Outdoor Inn is right next door). Ronnie himself is multi talented and photographs the coast, water, wildlife.
  • World Events! Sea Kayak Georgia sponsors each year here on Tybee the Georgia Skills Symposium and British Canoe Union Week. You can learn from some of the best in the world skills from every level- you don’t have to be a pro to attend! The events kick off this weekend.

 

Marsha’s Art is currently on exhibit at Irene Sullivan’s Art Gallery in Downtown Tybee http://www.irenesullivangallery.com/ You can learn all about Sea Kayak Georgia and this upcoming week’s events on http://www.seakayakgeorgia.com/ Marsha and Ronnie are always available to answer questions and share their knowledge about the waters and this island they love so much.

From Canned Ham to La Petite Crevette


 


One of our favorite artists, Pam Martin, has done it again. Pam was here on Tybee this spring when Sisters on the Fly ( http://www.sistersonthefly.com/) were here for their regional spring conference with their 50 plus vintage trailers and decided she had to have one of her own. Pam is very single minded and darn if she didn’t accomplish her goal!! She found a vintage trailer in the South Georgia countryside and has turned this into a Pam Martin Orginal. A piece of art that travels no less! La Petite Crevette ( The Little Shrimp) went from being stuck in the 1960’s in the middle of a field to becoming bright and cheerful and full of fun and ready to be the life of the party no matter where she goes!
These pictures only slightly do her justice, but you can see her live and in person ( along with Pam who has to drive her here ) on Saturday Oct 18th from 10AM- 4PM at SeaSide Sisters Coastal Cottage Shop. We’re celebrating our shop’s 1st year Anniversary in great style and Pam and her “shrimp” will be the centerpiece of the party. Pam is bringing with her an entire trailer full of her art for the home, for holiday gifts, for yourself! Some pieces just created for the fall, some art no one else has seen yet and some of her old favorites. Be sure to come by and visit! www.seasidesisterstybee.com
