Storytime of the Northern Belle

Well...here begins the adventure of blogging!

I've been a resident of Savannah for three weeks already. Time flies. It amazes me. It has been a blast. Of course I still have my moments of missing everyone back in ND, but I know I'm going to see a lot of people in about a week. So, I'm focused on seeing everyone and Mikey is probably looking forward to being at home by himself and not worrying about my schedule of events every evening.

Well, over the past three weeks I've had a few laughs at the differences between Georgia and North Dakota. First, Armadillos are the main road kill of Georgia. Second, we don't have "deer crossing" signs, rather we have "turtle crossing" signs! (I love that one) Third, when it rains it pours and only for about 20 minutes...and the humidity doesn't disappear after a good rain. Fourth, the food choices remind me of the fair...everything is fried...but without the food on the stick! Fifth, the healthy chain of Subway...yeah, they carry ice cream...not frozen yogurt, full calorie ice cream! Ice cream and candy stores are everywhere. Sixth, there are just as many Jeeps here...and over 50% of them have 4-wheel drive...why? And finally, my favorite observation...when people see my North Dakota plates they stare...typical, but the other day someone actually rolled his window down and with a shocked face he said, "Are you REALLY from North Dakota?" My response, "Yeah" (with a confused look - I didn't think he was serious) and to which is response "Wow, really...huh."

Well, I think that is all I'll write for tonight. Thanks for reading my novel and hopefully you were entertained. I'll be sure to keep writing stories as they come. I'm sure there will be plenty more.

Tata for now everyone! Write or call me, I miss all of you.
