Mother-Daughter Retreat to Savannah, GA

When I was a young girl, an organization my Mother and Grandmother belonged to, held a Mother-Daughter luncheon on the Saturday before Mother's Day. 

I looked forward to this event each year. We would get dressed up, sometimes even getting new clothes. This was in the early 60's when women and girls still hats and gloves on special occasions. 

The menu consisted of what I thought was extremely fancy food. My favorite was a ripe tomato stuffed with chicken salad. I would have a "Shirley Temple", a sophisticated concoction of ginger ale and maraschino cherries. For dessert we would have pettifours and I was allowed to drink tea. 

So what does all this have to do with Savannah? Well, when I think of a gracious Southern town, where women may still wear hats and gloves, I think of Savannah. This may be complete fantasy on my part, but it's  a nice thought. I've heard that the reason General Sherman did not burn Savannah during the Civil War was because he found it such a lovely and charming place. I'm sure there is more to the story.

So, I'm inviting you to join us on our Mother-Daughter Weekend Retreat  to Savannah, GA in May of 2013. We'll stay in a hotel built in the 1850's, have a trolley  tour of the Historic District, have lunch at 'The Lady and Sons" restaurant and experience and partake in  a ceremony to honor Mothers. Enjoy being driven by a chauffeur while relaxing on the way to our destination.
