I really haven’t thought about how neat it is to have TWO double neighbors.  But I do have two.  Here at the studio, on East Main Street, we are neighbors with the Strickland’s who own H&R Block across the street and with the Parker’s who own Parker Realty right next door.  In addition to them being East Main neighbors we are also neighbors at Tybee and we almost always go at the same time.  Pretty neat, huh?

This weekend was a very special weekend for Mrs. Strickland.  Forty five years ago she graduated from West Virginia University and was a member of the Alpha Phi sorority.  At graduation these Alpha Phi’s made a pact to get together every five years.  This year they meet at Tybee, Island, Georgia at the Strickland’s condo.  What a great tradition!

I was honored to get to meet and photograph this wonderful group of girls this weekend.  They could not ask for better weather.  It was so hard to leave the beach to come back to reality today.
