Sandy's Impact led me to Paula Deen's store.


Paula Deen's store in Savannah

     

Sandy was indeed as bad a storm as predicted and then some. There are few  who's lives were not affected in any way  and our hearts go out to all those whose lives have been devasted in one way or another.  For us, power outtages, high winds, hours spent at airports and on the phone finding solutions for all who needed to get home with the threat of snow created a rash reaction to get out of dodge and head south.

Secure in our hamlet of an inn; Shem Creek, just outside Charleston we set up our work base, sorted out clients , helped fellow agents in the northeast, then headed for  Savannah, a city we had never been to.

In the center of the city, long lines wrapped around a block that were just not moving. Paula Deen was having a book signing from 2-4pm, we couldn't wait but did make time to stop and see the store and restaurant  - there were still other places to see and things to do.... but being there does add a national pride icon to my bucket list to think I've been there even if I didn't taste anything!
