Hi Dale,

I'm not sure about Savannah's parks.  They've got quite a few scattered

Same Helen we met last July?  Give her our love.  Our church has a

of July was advertised as an "indoor picnic, no need to worry about rain
spoiling it" pot luck.

I remember the discussion about that. (G)

 DS>   I understand about summer in Savannah.  Maryland can be iffy as

It was really good, despite the rain on Sunday.  Saturday was nice,
allowing us to wander in and out from the deck.
