For the love of dogs….

2 Comments / General /
My sister and her family had to put to sleep their wonderful Golden Retriever , Rocky this week. Rocky was an older dog they adopted from a great rescue group in Los Angeles which only works with Goldens and especially older dogs. Rocky had lost his eye in a cat fight with his previous owners before they turned him into a shelter and he was then rescued by my family. He was a great dog, always happy and smiling and loved his life with the Callahan Family. Visit this website for more information about adopting older dogs and the joy they bring to their humans…
Rocky, you knew how loved you were and that’s the best any of us can hope for- humans or dogs…Thank you for being such a great dog.

 

 

Also be sure to visit one of our favorite Artist’s Blogs- Fifi Flowers Design Decor and look at her recent paintings of dogs…

 

Look for info on the leash cutting of the Tybee Bark Parks on Saturday….

Pure Bliss

1 Comment / General /


I shared with everyone earlier this summer my plans for the photo shoot with the fabulous Christine Hall of Christine Hall Photography. Christine offered a special this summer where she would photograph your pets and donate the proceeds to various Savannah and Chatham County Animal Rescue groups as her way of giving back. All she asked was you donate a bag of dog food as well.

I brought my two labs to downtown Savannah on a hot Sunday afternoon in June and the very patient Christine took a series of shots of the dogs. It was not easy, the dogs were so excited by all the sights and sounds of the city , especially when the horse and buggy full of visitors trotted by! That would have been the shot I shared with you all, me trying to control two 90 pound dogs who desperately wanted to chase that horse down the lane!

This is my favorite- capturing that look of pure bliss . Even though this was Danny’s moment of happiness, I think we all have this look when someone is petting our heads and telling us how special and loved you are!

Christine’s website is full of great examples of families, children, weddings and pets and she loves to come to the beach to shot! http://www.christinehallphotography.com/

This Weekend on the Island

Leave a Comment / General /


Three fun events are happening this weekend on the Island!
1. Side walk sale at Seaside Sisters Saturday and Sunday. 10AM- 6PM both days. www.seasidesisterstybee.com
2. Tybee Prom– an annual favorite for locals and visitors alike. Saturday July 26th
Though proms of the past were famous for their punch and cookies, the Tybee Prom will bow to the pressure to have “serious” food. Inside the Legion, your prom ticket to benefit Tybee Beautification will entitle you to bar snacks — nuts, Chex Mix, and M&Ms. Outside the Legion, the Marine Rescue Squadron will be selling their WORLD FAMOUS HOMEMADE BRUNSWICK STEW to benefit MRS! This is not your ordinary stew, but rather a hearty mix with everything in it including chicken, BBQ, and some secret ingredients. And a cup of stew will be a lot easier to eat without having to sit at a table. After all, this is a dance…not a dinner! J Please pass the word and bring some cash! Thanks for your support of these two vital Tybee volunteer organizations!
Tybee Prom, Saturday, Tybee American Legion, 7 pm to midnight, Music by the Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love, Psychedelic Summer of Love, Tickets $20 a person at the door. Please call 272-9200 for more information. There will be a spotted volunteer photographer, Miki Skelton, taking photos at the Prom.

Tybee Breeze Magazine

Leave a Comment / General /

 

We have this great local FREE publication on Tybee that everyone reads- both our visitors and our locals. Shannon and Sundi Marino are the publishers/ editors and do a great job capturing the quirkness and charm of our Island. We make sure all our homes have the current issue for our guests to enjoy because it’s just so much fun. 

The current issue has outdone itself- and the best part is, none of this was written tongue in cheek- but real ads and articles. Here’s what had me LOL last night when I read the current issue. This is an ad for The Crab Cab ( how smart is that name!) which is the only on island taxi cab. Here’s what the Ad reads:
Cab Driver Wanted:
  • Full or part time
  • Must be Tybee resident
  • Must be able to work some late nights
  • Paid in cash every day
  • Great for retire male or female
  • Good driving record a must
  • No drunks or druggies
  • Call 912 441 3304

Now what has me laughing is where else but in Tybee ( or prehaps Key West) do we have to spell out we don’t want drunks or druggies driving our cabs….

So while here, please feel confidant that you can indeed call The Crab Cab and have sober and clean drivers!

Thursday night with the mermaids

3 Comments / General /

What began as a pre theatre dinner gathering turned out to be a fun filled evening with a group of our mermaids! We had actually planned to have a little “we’re glad our friend Mary Kay Andrews is in town” party and then head off to the YMCA gym to watch the little play written by one of our locals theatre folks. But Mary Kay couldn’t make it down so the party must go on! In fact about an hour into the evening someone say- hey where’s Mary Kay! And we raised a glass of wine to toast her . I served fresh, fresh, fresh (right off the shrimp boats today fresh) shrimp. And Wine. And assorted goodies others brought. The shrimp were delicious!

Here is the recipe that will make your company swoon. Of course it helps when they are this fresh, but still a easy and yummy way to cook shrimp.

Bring a pot of water to a full boil. Dump your shrimp in the pot and let cook for maybe 3 minutes and they turn pink. Take them off the stove and pour into a colander. Immediately put ice on top to cool. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Pour into a big bowl and sprinkle with a very free hand Old Bay Seasoning. Toss and add one lemon cut into quarters. Serve with home made cocktail sauce!
