Laura’s 8am Saturday update

     Lots has been accomplished since my last posting. I created a LiveLikeLiza logo and ordered T-shirts and hats to share with Liza’s friends in Athens. This run of shirts will be extra special because it also includes artwork by her friend and fellow KD. Additionally. with the help of friends, I’ve secured a beautiful venue in Asheville for Liza’s Extravaganza on June 3rd.     Meanwhile the inlet has been very generous. Dolphins have been busy, and I do mean “busy” and gloriously swimming about. And a very mature sea turtle was spotted looking our direction and peaking his head in and out of the water. Yesterday’s Cinco de Mayo sunrise was gorgeous and had me up in time for a fantastic yoga class with Jack’s girlfriend. In the evening, our crew was joined by two Jacksonville friends and we forgot to watch the sunset. Instead we caught up and tested numerous renditions of the future cocktail sensation, the “tranquil-Liza.” However we didn’t miss the sky at night: we sat in awe by the fire pit as the full moon broke through the clouds over the water in all its majesty.      

  Today we are up early again. Bryan is already at the house under renovation where we will install a a nine foot header - again with the help of friends.     

   Notable yesterday, I received a phone call from Jere Morehead, the President of UGA. He expressed his condolences and praised the impact that Liza has made in Athens. He said she was clearly known and loved by many at the university. We look forward to celebrating her and all her fellow graduates on Friday.
