What's Happening with Sandy?

Why don't you join Sandy in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina - and nearby Savannah, Georgia, where she visits a home owned by her Barnard ancestors. The ancestors of Sandy's father, George Barnard, settled in Savannah in the 1700s and were wealthy landowners. The "cottage" you will see was a rental property and it has been lovingly restored by Susan and Fred Johnson. They were gracious and let us take a tour of the house. Barnard Street, as you will see, is a prominent street in Savannah.

  • This is the Barnard cottage at 503 E. St. Julian Street in Savannah
  • Fred and Susan Johnson with Sandy (showing Susan's book about old Savannah houses) in their garden
  • The film Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil was filmed here on Barnard Street
  • Stefaan and I enjoying coffee at the Goose Feathers Cafe in Savannah
  • We had coffee at this restaurant on Barnard Street
  • One of the many lovely homes on Hilton Head Island. Most homes are elevated in case of flood, since the island is in the Atlantic Ocean
  • My friend from Brussels, Ruth Etter, in Hilton Head Island
