Savannah, St. Patty's Day is tomorrow, are you having fun yet?
The party will start to gather tonight on River St., Bay St., in City Market and Forsyth Park and continue through Sunday, take advantage of the long weekend and try to pace yourself.
If you haven't been downtown yet, you'll find that the fountain in Forsyth Park is already, picture perfect, green. The proud display of green hats, t-shirts and jackets are evidence that we are all Irish this week here in Savannah. You can imagine and almost smell the corn beef and cabbage wafting through the streets. The green beer and grits are coming.
Besides all that, there is also a history of tradition here in Savannah. Our Irish families pay homage to their ancestral ties by showcasing traditional food, music & dance. Be on the look out for music and dance to be featured at Rousakis Plaza on River St. and of course in Forsyth Park among other sites. There is always a party welcoming the new Grand Marshall, this year it's Walter Crawford, and many attend the Fenian Irish Society breakfast before loading into their cars for the grand parade.
Hope to see you at the parade, I'll be wearing a green hat and a shirt that says "Kiss Me, Today I'm Irish!"
Don't forget to wear your GREEN!

Timing is Everything
Recently reminded of a delivery to someone who was retiring after 40 years in the same job!
What an incredible feat. I don't know the whole story, it may not have been in the same position, but I could tell it was with the same employer.
I admire that..."if it's not broke don't fix it" way of thinking. It certainly applied in this case. The office was having a farewell party and I walked in with the basket in the middle of the party. Co-workers were shuffling around, some were crying, it was like a funeral when I walked in.
But, everything took a turn for the better when they saw the fruit basket; as usual, it was bursting with vibrant color from top to bottom. I heard cheers and applause among the oohhs & aahhs as I sat the basket down, it was just what was needed to turn the conversation around.
Timing is everything, is it time to make someone you know feel special?
