Our Passage to Cumberland Island National Park
The Wild Horses of Cumberland Island
Lingering on a Park BenchWhat is "lingering"? I have decided it is when you take those moments to sit and share experiences, ideas, and concerns. These are moments when you could have just as easily rushed away and done something else.
The Gallery on Newcastle
( www.thegalleryonnewcastle.com )
This is art store of Janet Powers. The high walls are hung with her paintings of the marshes. Down here the word "marsh" is not synonymous with "swamp". The Marshes of Glynn are varying shades of brown, gold and green. At times the marsh reminds me of a wheat field. They are well worth the visit.
We had visited the gallery a year ago; we dropped in again to this wonderfully restored building - Brunswick has a lot of these buildings. Cathy and Janet immediately started talking about the local concerns while I looked at the art; then we switched places.
All over the city are signs exhorting the powers that be to "MOVE THE JAIL". It seems that the mis-guided council wants to build the jail right downtown on the waterfront. You have to understand that downtown Brunswick is beautiful. It is right on the Brunswick River.
I guess idiocy is a common characteristic of most town councils everywhere. Give little people some power and all of a sudden they imagine themselves as heirs of Alexander the Great. Unfortunately, they aren't any wiser than they were before they took office.
We wish the opponents all the best. If common sense doesn't prevail then all who are reading this should visit Brunswick now before the bulldozers move in.
The Market on Newcastle (Sorry, no website)
This store has some cute curiosities - I guess faux antique would be a good description. It is a fun place to look around.
Now the sales lady looks at us and we look at her. We sat beside her at lunch the day before at Skipper's Fish Camp in Darien ( www.skippersfishcamp.com ). Cathy had gator tails and I had the potato stuffed with shrimp. We both had the superb chowder. So the lingering began.
Part of the conversation had to do with our mutual sadness and disappointment of two store closures up in Darien.
Christie's Restaurant on Newcastle
( christiesrestaurant.net )
Soup choices: red bean and duck, tomato cream with basil and fontino?
I could not resist. I took the duck along with my shrimp salad sandwich and curly fries. Cathy had the smoked salmon, bacon and tomato sandwich. No complaints. We lingered over the food!
