Gary has also attended a couple lectures on Civil War in the south and has really enjoyed them. While he is off doing these, I usually scrapbook or read. I am never at a loss for something to do.
We also decided to get our pictures of the First Baptist Church
that we are attending while here. We find their pastor so friendly and welcoming! 
We have been so blessed to be in such a welcoming Sunday School Class also. We went out with them for a social at the
Pink Pig Restaurant that is just up the road from our campground. We enjoyed their pork sandwich so much that we decided to go back again this week. They are only open two evenings a week for two hours each evening, so not too much choice of when to go out! It is hard to believe that they have as much business as they do because of the brief hours. It has to be their reputation of great food!
Then Sunday evening the church had people from several churches participate in a Spring Sing. It was great and fun with both inspirational and secular music. After the music they had refreshments in the fellowship hall and our class ladies were hosting.
They did a beautiful job!!
The beginning of this week we kicked back and relaxed a lot as well as a day shopping at Joanns, Michaels, and K-Mart. We have to drive a bit to get to any of these stores, so we end with lunch and finish early. Gary took me to Ci-Ci's Pizza. That was a first for me and of course, needs to be the last for a long time! It is too many carbs for me! But it really was tasty!
The next day we did our big shopping day at Walmart to stock up on groceries for the month. While I was in Walmart, Gary went to Home Depot to get lumber to make a box for on the floor next to the bed. The bed is too high for me so this make a step and will also give more storage for things such as shoes! Now if I could just figure a way to have another closet, I would love it. But that is not likely!
We decided today to go back to Tybee Island. We had checked it out once before by car, but found that you have to pay to park ANYWHERE! So we were not sure that we wanted to go back at twenty-five cents for every ten minutes of parking.
Wel-l-l-l, I forgot to take our laundry quarters, so we only had enough for an hour and ten minutes. We made that be enough time. We had taken lunch with us and we ate that in the pavilion before going down from the pier behind it to get to the beach.
The pavilion was huge and there was a sign about cost, but we found no one to ask. So we took our chances and ate while others were also coming and going. The cost may have been for large groups renting the pavilion. I think that all of the fees that they can charge must be their main source of income for the community. There are restaurants that we would like to check out, but probably will not get the opportunity this time in the area. We need to leave something for next time!
It was very windy, but that was good as the sun was hot! And so was the sand above the water line!!! We walked the beach for a ways, until we knew that we were running out of time on parking. There were many sun bathers and even kids on school trips. I just love the water though!!!
After leaving the beach, we drove around the rest of the island just to see what was there. Before leaving we found the Tybee Island Lighthouse and took pictures.

We also found what looked to be a fort or bunkers from days gone by.
One was the Tybee Island Museum

in the Battery Garland of 1899, so the sign said!
And another was the Tybee Lite Shrine Club.
We had to drive through Savannah both going to and from Tybee. That is always such a pleasure as it is so scenic and so easy to navigate!
I guess that we did have a full enough week! Just four more days until we move on. We are expecting rain tonight, but hope there is not any storms. Hopefully they will have worn themselves out before getting this far east!
Take care and God Bless you all.
