This is the best chocolate mousse pie I have EVER put in my mouth. Can I scream YUM????? OMG_ melt in your mouth....

This was the best part of my trip to Savannah~ Lip smacking 10,000 calories good!

They say in the restaurant business it's all about presentation.


The Waving Girl statue is a popular monument for visitors to the River Street area of Savannah, Georgia. The statue immortalizes a Savannahian named Florence Martus, who lived near the entrance to Savannah Harbor and supposedly waved to each ship that came and went -- for 44 years!

These trees are so exquisite. Did I take enough pictures for you???
I want a house in the country (Of course that I have built-with the lottery money, I PLAN to win) My house in the country should be surround by these magnificent trees.



I took a picture of what I thought was the most incredible house Savannah had to offer. What do ya'll think?


Paula's place has a small gift shop in it, with cookbooks, t-shirts, seasonings, cups, magnets, sauces etc for sale. I took this picture because I saw her boys as kids were cute.











OH melt in your mouth chocolate mousse!!! I'd pay to have it shipped!





Below is one of the shots of the the exterior of Lady & Sons.......

Our waiter was comical and goofy as hell. He was straight, and eager to please. = )
IF ONLY ALL MEN WERE THAT WAY!!!!
Inside, the Pentecostal lady that sat at the table next to us, turned to me and said "Are you as excited to be here as I am??? They drove from North Tennessee to see Paula's place.

The entrance to the "Garden of Good and Evil" cemetery.

And finally, My buddy B.....as he goes down under..I tease him cause of his 3 dollar bill status.

Blogger is cooperating and allowing me to post more Savannah pics.... Let me know what you like and your thoughts~ Much appreciated! This is Paula Deen's brothers seafood place. She has been taping her newest show on the Food Network "Paula's Party" here at Bubba's. B saw all the extra lights on the ceiling and asked our waitress...She filmed in January for the entire season. So no chance we were going to see her.

I was bummmed that several of my pictures came out FUZZY = (

I snapped this while on our tour, I thought of MICK (go say hello) the tele booth made me think of London. http://whiteroseboy.blogspot.com/

(I don't know how to make his name into a link ---Any directions that someone would like to share with me???

This is SCAD- the best know college in Savannah - Savannah College of Art and Design. Actually my new friend Laurel (The make up artist at Dillards) went to school there. The school otself attracts lots of artsy creative, expressive types you see walking all over the city, as it is spread out. (I always found myself attracted to artists and musicians---yeah I KNOW the real bread winners of our generation)

This was during our Trolley ride...our tour guide was older, goofy and informative. I think we got one of the better ones.... Yeah!!!
Pretty cool "auto" that breezed by us while waiting in line. B snapped a pic.

I was the last one in this pic. We got there an hour earlier than suggested and LOOK at the people in front of us. MEOW WAITING at 8:30 in the morning for lunch reservations at the Lady and Sons with such *HIGH* hopes of getting a glimpse of Jamie her eldest *HOTTIE* of a son. NO need to add butter to him, he's already smooth and YUMMY...Ya know melt in ya mouth kinda good~

We are almost there...to the hostess that is!!!!!! The most haunted house house in Savannah. I know I posted a closer pic of it earlier in the week.

I wish I had more time to see a few of the churches on the inside. I really think Catholics have the most detailed architecturally speaking houses of worship.


OK maybe one more day of Savannah pics and your tour is completed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is Olivia's first birthday. Stop by www.Teatopia.net and wish her a happy day. Her mom would appreciate it!

One of the shops on River Street....typical flea market~ higher end stuff. Everything was new that was being sold.

Below is my baby B. He's one of the sweetest souls I know. He happily in a loving relationship now. His new guy is cool and treats him well. He's a cutie too!

This is the most haunted house in Savannah accroding to our tour guide. Numerous spirits are to be residing.

These are a few of the boats on the river to visit and/or tour. I think they are kinda charming. That is the word I would probably use for the city of Savannah. It's a bit spread out, but it's clean and they have museums, ghost tours, Paula Deen food (enough said), and reasonably priced hotels. I think the summer would be a bit too hot for my taste....I like the 60's.

In Ga today we are to be expecting HEAVY storms with the possibilty of hail. I have an appointment at the local college this afternoon. I hope it waits til I can get home, inside and snuggled up with a magazine and a kitty.

ZZZzzzz

Sleepy Sleepy I am I am! My eyes have watered ALL day and I wanna sneeze and cry at the same time.

{{HISSSS}}}

This particular picture reminds me of home. St. Charles Avenue~ BG Anne Rice lived on St Charles. I personally think a trolley ride for anyone visiting in N'awlins is well woth the views. Again, I love to look at and watch real estate being built (historic and current).

This will be a quickie (and I am not usually a fan of those) ~

Here are a few more Savannah pics. Hope you enjoy! For some reason they are not posting on here as large as they should....Any ideas or hints???
The inside of our Hotel the Mulberry~ I was pleased with our sleeping arrangements, although sleeping was not a proirity, I had too much to see and not enough time. {sigh!}

And finally.......

Have a good Tuesday....May it be easy for all of us to get up and function without hurting ourselves or others~

Just the outside of the "Garden of Good and Evil". The movie was filmed in Savannah years ago. The cemetery is famous for it. Synopsis
Clint Eastwood directed this adaptation of John Berendt's non-fiction best-seller about a Savannah, Georgia, murder case. When this film was released, Berendt's book had been on best-seller lists for four years. As the film begins, New York journalist John Kelso (John Cusack), alter ego of author Berendt, arrives in Savannah to do a brief Town and Country article on the annual Christmas party given by sophisticated, urbane antique dealer Jim Williams (Kevin Spacey), who restored many mansions in Savannah, including the famed Mercer House where he lives. After the party, Williams kills his rude, violent lover Billy Hanson (Jude Law), explaining it as a necessary act of self-defense. Kelso decides to stay in Savannah to cover the trial, encountering a variety of colorful locals, eccentric and otherwise, including black transvestite nightclub performer Lady Chablis (appearing as herself), financially challenged bon vivant Joe Odom (Paul Hipp), vocalist Mandy Nichols (Alison Eastwood), voodoo priestess Minerva (Irma P. Hall), and Williams' deceptively powerful defense attorney Sonny Seiler (Australian actor Jack Thompson with a very convincing Southern accent). Kelso develops a romantic interest in Mandy while tracking the events that led up to the killing. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

The Ghost aspect of Savannah has never been a big interest of mine, but their Ghost Tours are the first ones to sell out. I thought of BG...

And no we didn't take one~

But here's the number just in case you're interested = )

Below is some of the architecture that I really did enjoy seeing in Savannah. It did remind me of various parts of New Orleans.

Do you have a preference?

okay, the Sopranos will be on soon which means I have plenty to do within the next 30 minutes....

I will post more pics all week, so please check back and let me know your thoughts....

I'm home. I just spent 2 hours in my hot tub. I needed to be one with nature. FINALLY, we got 2 days of cooler temps. It's been in the HIGH 80's for weeks now. (sigh) I have some pics to post ( I hope) they are still in the camera and I haven't viewed they yet. Savannah was a pleasant city. I few of the streets I can see the resemblance my Ga friends found with New Orleans. The massive trees and Spanish moss...the river...the tourist shops (N.O. has so many cultured galleries and art work) River St and Bourbon street have a few of the same tshirt shops and such). Savannah is a city is cleaner. It doesn't have the ambiance, culture, food and music N'awlins has). One the BIGGEST reasons I went was to see Paula Deens place with the hopes of good food and her eldest son. He is a HOTTIE!!!! Just add whipped creme. YUM.

"Bobby and Jamie Deen are Paula Deen's sons. Paula Deen is considered by many to be the queen of southern cuisine. In 'Road Tasted,' Jamie and Bobby go to different locations around the US looking for unusual 'mom and pop' shops and restaurants to find unique delicacies and share their experiences with the viewer. All of the products they showcase can be delivered throughout the country. "

I'll be back soon and add some pics~
