Georgetown Welcome

We enjoyed a unique happening yesterday. Tommy Howard, editor of the Georgetown Times, found our blog while Googling. He read our opening article, The Story of Why We're Here, and found it interesting. He contacted us and invited us to stop at the newspaper's office when we came to Georgetown.

Tommy interviewed me for a feature story. I'll post a link to the story in the blog when it appears.

In reality, Tommy spent as much time educating me and Libby about Georgetown and the region's history. We learned a lot of things we didn't know. Thank you Tommy.

Georgetown is a delightful little place. It has quiet streets lined with colonial houses and shaded by live oak trees. The wealthy people of the 17th and 18th centuries knew a lot about gracious and comfortable living -- things that remain true even today.

Georgetown reminds us of similar 18th century towns that we've visited while cruising. Edenton and Bath in North Carolina come to mind. So does Saint Mary's Georgia. If you have the chance to visit any of these places, I predict that you'll enjoy it.
