Vagabond Tales-Trails and Tales

February 3, 2024 Skidaway Island, State Park, Savannah, Georgia

In November of last year, Harry and I started a new schedule of exercising each morning. Now, we don’t get every day in, but we are averaging about four days a week. With this camping trip, we decided we would try to keep it up, in addition to, hiking as much as we can in the parks. Today between our work out in the camper and our Big Ferry Hike I reached 11,465 steps. That’s nothing compared to the days, Harry exercises/ walks with Finn and I and then goes golfing sometimes reaching 18,000 steps but this is a good number for me! So yes, I am bragging.

I had the opportunity to attend a talk by children’s author Phyllis L. Tildes. It was packed with children coloring pages she had provided from some of her books and their parents. She originally lived and worked as a graphic designer in Connecticut. At age 50, she published her first book. Most of her books were small, hard board early books for children. They all are about nature. My favorite book she talked about and actually read parts of was “Bunny’s Big Surprise” . She didn’t have any of these books available to purchase or I would have gotten one of them. The story revolves around a bunny, who finds an egg and tries to find its owner. She actually lives in Skidaway right now and this book includes local animals that one would find here. It would make a cute book to read in the spring.
