We actually pulled into my first niece's driveway about thirty minutes later as we returned from a full afternoon and evening at Jekyll Island. The children, exhausted from a day in the sun and surf, were sleeping soundly in the back seat as soon as we hit the highway. Even my niece, riding shotgun, was sleeping.
It was really nice.
We had all ventured down for the release of the loggerhead, Hugue, a newly rehabilitated patient of the turtle hospital at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. After more than two years of care, she was finally seaworthy again. Yeah!
And what better time for her release than the date which coincides with our celebration of our nation's freedom? Indeed!
And how better to celebrate than with fireworks several hours later, as the night sky darkened and the stars twinkled? Fireworks over our beach, with the fireworks of Brunswick and Saint Simon's Island visible behind and to the side of our own! Fireworks for more than twenty minutes in three directions!
Yes, it has been a magical time I have spent with this family for the last two evenings, complete with fireworks on each night! Such a lovely end to my 55 days of birthday!

Those children were named Devan, Emily, and Chris.
They came to mind because on Saturday I found the baseball they had autographed for me.
That would have been at the July 3, 2013, game at Grayson Stadium with the Savannah Sand Gnats.
Good times!

fb flashback from July 3, 2013:
"I had some fun last night!!! Improv of Hai Dang and Savannah Stage Company at Taco Abajo and then Karaoke at Club One with Kimmi Sampieri and Joe Guy! Oh, and MUCH dancing!!!"

Joe Guy
OMG caught in the act. AND with the lyrics showing [for "You're The Top", which he chose because he's gay - and we were at the gay club in Savannah - so it was okay to flaunt it!]
