Years ago, right after the book came out, I was in Savannah and did the Midnight in Garden of Good and Evil tour. They took us all around showing us all the spots mentioned in the book and we actually got out and walked all over Bonaventure Cemetary...beautiful place! I saw the bench that was mentioned, etc... But of course the bird girl was gone...had to be moved after the book came out. Have you seen the movie? The south is full of lots of fun, wacky characters. Did you eat at Paula Deen's restaurant while you were there? That's where she's from and still lives. :-)<br />Thanks for your visits and comments...always enjoying seeing you come by!<br />SusanSusan (Between Naps On The Porch.net)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09655622740971576915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-3547155406607897702009-11-22T10:35:44.851-08:002009-11-22T10:35:44.851-08:00Hi Maggie...

Ahhh...my friend, that would be the life!!! Of course, I must admit that we often have the same kind of weather here in Colorado and I always welcome a warm fire, a good book and a great cup of coffee! Sorry...I do coffee, not tea! Hehe! <br /><br />I really enjoyed reading about the Mercer house! Ohhh, I bet that was a fabulous tour! I'm sure the book is a delight and will be very much appreciated by the lucky recipients!<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing about the book, "The Constant Princess" by Phillipa Gregory. I love historical novels...one of my favorite reads! I will be sure to look for this book! Thank you!!!<br /><br />Well my friend, so very happy to see you for Sunday Favorites today! I'll be thinking about you all curled up with that good book in front of your warm and cozy fire! Enjoy!!!<br /><br />Have a super Sunday!<br />Warmest wishes,<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273529961191788075.post-82926539081295201572009-11-22T10:24:46.905-08:002009-11-22T10:24:46.905-08:00Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

The hold list is very lengthy. It would be nice to get it around Christmas.<br /><br />Our weather is much like yours. Rain, rain, dreary rain, day after day. And, like you, I'm finding solace in hot tea, fires, and cozy times.<br /><br />Your PIF parcel arrived on Friday - thank you so much. I'm hoping to photograph today and do a post this week. <br /><br />LorrieLorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.com
