Savannah, GA


The top picture is of the Spanish moss that hangs down from lots of the trees here (especially in Savannah). The bottom one is of us on a lighthouse in Tybee island. That's the Atlantic behind us! The water is warm and mild.

that moss looks like something out of a fletch lives movie. it would be cool if you could make the kids some coats out of it. i don't remember any moss on the trees in tennesee, you probably have to be closer to the ocean?

I guess so. They say it was used for stuffing mattresses in the old days. They'd have bugs in some of them still, hence the expression, "don't let the bed bugs bite."

wait a minute, i thought 'don't let the bed bugs bite' was from the straw matresses from back in the medieval times.

"Medieval times!!!"
What's that from?
I guess straw matresses could possibly have had bugs too. Or maybe the Georgians were guilty of stealing memories.
