and it is a great thing….
We went off the left side of the old dam.
This little dog loves adventure. 
It really is lovely off of the trail.
I am so lucky to have him guide me. Life is beauty full!
Georgia Southern University
I graduated from Georgia Southern University many years ago. 
The campus has at least doubled since I attended. 
This is a portion of Sweetheart Circle. It has beautiful old trees.
Then I walked over to William’s Building…
They had a second cafeteria here when I went to school and when it snowed we went and borrowed some trays to go sledding down the hill on.
The school’s photo lab was here too. (in the old days we had to process film) I spent many hours processing prints here. I got to be a photographic assistant for a while, it was great!
This campus is beautiful. Oh and the apartment I lived in for a couple of years is still there. 
Everything else has changed on the campus and a lot in the town but these little apartments are still here. It made me smile.
A Terrible Accident….
Wednesday of last week, five nursing students from Georgia Southern University were killed in a horrific accident on I-16 on the way to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Savannah.
So, I traveled to Georgia Southern to just pay my respects of sorts. This is Sweetheart Circle.
These will just be photos of the campus.

Rainy Day on the Trail
It stopped raining for a bit, so, Coop and I ran to the trail. The water was gushing down the creeks!
Trees fell down, well tried to.
It was a little gloomy but green.
Beautiful flowers.
No matter the weather it is always a great day to take a walk.
Wisteria Restaurant
Last night my neighbors and friends took me to a wonderful restaurant in Inman Park, Wisteria Restaurant. It was for a Hess Wine Maker’s Dinner and it was awesome.
We walked in and were handed a wonderful glass of Hess Select Sauvignon Blanc and greeted with Hor d’Oeuvres. There were bite size crab cakes (my fav), meatballs, a play on aracini balls, and a mushroom cheesy tart, everything was delicious.
First Course – Pickled shrimp, Pickled veggies, corn grit fritters, duck eggs on pickled mustard seed. It was amazing.
Second Course – Sesame Flour Fried Quail, with Kale, Peach Marmalade and Amarena Cherries this was paired with the Hess Select Pinot Noir, fantastic. The quail was moist, tender and flavorful.
Third Course – Rack of Lamb, 
Red Mule Polenta, English Peas Pistou, Red Wine Demi-Glace – Paired with The Hess Collection “Allomi” Cabernet Sauvignon. This was out of this world!
Fourth Course – Local Cheese Plate – This was a great finish to the meal. We were all really full by this point.
It was an absolutely fantastic meal! The company was wonderful, the restaurant is comfortable and welcoming, it is like eating at a friends home. 
I totally recommend this for a meal and definitely for another wine tasting.
