HAPPY APRIL!!! This calendar year certainly handed us
a bunch of stuff to do all in a minute! April Fool’s Day and Easter, Spring (or in
Georgia’s case, Summer), Spring Break, and this is all assuming we survived St.
Patty’s Day! I gotta say, no one celebrates St. Patrick’s Day like us. Even Ireland
has to dip a bow to Savannah/Tybee during March. We represent like no other.
Boston and New York have nothing on us!! Moving along to April …
Once again (even though Easter is on the 1st), we are holding our annual Easter
Egg Hunt. If nothing else, I will continue the tradition personally for the sole
reason of torturing Rick, as he has to hide 50 eggs from y’all. I thoroughly enjoy
this tradition as it involves little to no effort on my part (except that one year
Margie - remember that year?). Anyhoo, let’s find those 50 eggs! I need you to
give me a page number and location by April 15th to info@tybeebeachcomber.
com. I will collect all the correct answers and have a non-interested person
pull the winner. Last year it was Rudy Rudon, so I will probably ask him to do it
again. If you want to slip him a $50 that’s on you. The winner of the Easter Egg
Hunt will win something fantastic, I just haven’t figured it out yet, but I will by
the time I have to. No worries, my pretties. It will be great!
If you have noticed the cover is upside down, have no fear. That is our own April
Fool’s joke on you!!! Please don’t call me and tell me. It was intentional. If you
must, call Rose (of Rose and Bill). It was her idea and I blame her for everything!
The Tybee Signature Cocktail Contest has been entertaining to watch!
Bartenders scurrying to and fro adding this and that. Reports indicate that
Sand Bar is ready as is Bubba Gumbo’s. I sampled Sundae Cafe’s entry and I
am not going to lie: It was pretty awesome. So, kids. Let’s get it on! As of April
1st, the voting begins. Start serving your creation and let the votes roll in to
info@tybeebeachcomber.com. I am counting the votes, so I will know if you
vote more than once. I am also completely trustworthy so there will be no dirty
underhanded voting on anyone’s part. I play a fair game and just know that
karma is my queen and if I behave badly, she will get me. Same for you. Get
your votes in by April 15th please.
So, here is the deal. I have been avoiding this particular problem for a couple
of months as I didn’t know what to do. The Traveling Beachcomber is a
wonderful thing, but sometimes it causes me to drink more. I had two couples
go to Italy. Dan and Jacque Cole sent a fantastic picture! I love the fact that
the statue of David’s pink (or in this case - white parts) are directly above her
noggin! And then we have Keith and Jen Drazek who take the Beachcomber
with them ALWAYS and they travel A LOT!!! Jen Drazek is standing in front of the
Duomo Di Milano in Milan. I can’t handle the pressure!! Everyone wins!!! Off to
A-J’s with the lot of you!! Go with each other and y’all can compare stories of
Italy!
So, I’ve confessed. Now, get me a drink and flip the page...
