It's raining here and everybody's asleep. My sister-in-law and the dog in one bedroom, brother-in-law in another and I'm here in the guest room catching up on computer stuff. I've been here since Thursday and the time has just flown by. They're the best hosts - even the dog.
I've had a relaxing time talking, eating out, shopping. We toured Jeckyll Island yesterday. The place has a fascinating history as a millionaire's club during the first half of the 20th century. Morgan, Rockefeller, all the titans of the early 1900's before there was income tax. Jeckyll Island was founded as a hunting club for an exclusive brotherhood of millionaires. They built "cottages" there of 5000-6000 square feet and and had a club house that was actually a resort hotel. Formal dinners every night, everybody brought 6 or 7 servants with them. The servants had their own dormitories. The place is dripping with southern charm as thick as the spanish moss dripping from the centuries old live oaks.
I leave tomorrow and will be sorry to go.
