![]() There are places you visit and enjoy and there are places you visit and say you could live there. Savannah had always been the latter for me. Linda's people are from here. (Well, actually her people were from TN before they were from Savannah...but I digress...). Linda has been bringin' me to Savannah since we were in seminary. I love it here. I love the flatness. I love wearing shorts when we come for Thanksgiving or for Christmas. I love the colors in spring and fall. I love seeing the moss in the trees {it always reminds me of visiting the grands in Winter Haven}. I love the colors of the many flowers. I love a sleepy, rainy Saturday afternoon. I love sitting on their front porch swing listening to the traffic on Abercorn. I love all the parks sprinkled through town. And the people are kind here. It's a good and gracious thing to have a place or two where you'd like to go next. I love where we are, the home we've made and are making. And I dream about "someday." Being close to the ocean. Walking on flat. Wearing shorts year - round. There's so much about Savannah that makes my heart sing...if somebody could just do something about those pesky sandgnats.... Leave a Reply. |
