Welcome to my blog

Tybee Island is a small barrier island off the coast of Savannah Georgia. My husband I found the great little island by accident and as most good things happen in life. Just as you are not looking for a major change in your life - look out, one is usually around the corner. I was a board member of a Land Trust in my home town of Kent Ohio. P.L.A.C.E. - Portage Land and Conservation Education. The organization began when a shopping mall was proposed for construction that would destroy a bog in our county. The organization grew and worked on establishing conservation easement to prevent development or over development of land. It brought together my love of the great outdoors and real estate. The national Land Trust organization has holding a nation conference in Savannah Georgia and P.L.A.C.E. was willing to partially fund my trip to Savannah. So, my husband decided that it would make sense for him to join me in Savannah so that he could enjoy the city and time away from Ohio. So, we were on our way. After researching the Savannah area we decided to make a day trip prior to the conference to Tybee Island - just to see the ocean. Again, you never know what is around the corner. We drove out to Tybee and as we made the turn from Rt 80 to Butler Ave (know as the "big curve") we felt like we had come home for the first time in our lives. When that happens, you know that your life is going to change. I decided to write the blog to share Tybee Island with you. I am writing this in conjunction with Bonnie Gaster, a native of Tybee Island and a wonderful real estate agent. So many of the homes on Tybee Island are so unique that we wanted to share some information about the houses and the island. Bonnie and I also love to cook/bake. Bonnie loves to cook - I love to bake and we thought it would be fun to share recipes with you.

So welcome and look forward to info about houses, condos, townhomes, land , recipes, my favorite strawberry cupcake recipe ........ and the latest happenings on Tybee.
