The Lady & Sons Restaurant, Savannah

Today we decided to go stuff ourselves. So we went and located Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons Restaurant in downtown Savannah, Georgia.

We figured we might be able to stuff ourselves there.

We would be doing it along with all these other patrons waiting on the opposite side of the street for their names to be called for dinner (or lunch...whatever it is you eat at 11:00 am).

The Old Savannah Tours trolley passes right by The Lady & Sons and recommends arriving at about 9:00 am to get peak time seating.

We are among the first patrons seated today. As you can see, diners are already loading up.

The Lady & Sons opened in its current location in 2003. This 200 year-old renovated building features three floors of seating, with a signature buffet on each floor.

Good luck getting out alive after eating this meal! Remember, Paula's your cook, not your doctor!
Doug figures...you come this far, you might as well have seconds.

Two survivors of the all-you-can-eat buffet take a deep breath for a picture.

Some of Savannah's Strange Landmarks

After leaving the Savannah Humane Society, we went looking for some of the Savannah Area's Strange Landmarks. We found a few.

At 14 E. 73rd St. in Savannah we found this mailbox painted like the moon. It was standing in front of...

this gas storage tank painted like the world globe.

Built in 1955 by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Company this structure, known as a Hortonsphere, has a volume capacity of 113,100 cubic feet.

The globe and the property adjacent are currently owned by the Savannah Mortgage Company but appear to be for sale as of this date. What a cool landmark to own!

This Great Dane Statue symbolizes the strength, endurance and dependability of the trailers of Great Dane Trailers at 602 E. Lathrop in Savannah.

After measuring the Dane, Marlon determines there would be no room for him as a new pet in the motorhome.

This bridge is located near Great Dane Trailers.

Sergeant William Jasper, along with Sergeant John Newton rescued a group of American soldiers from the British military at this site in 1779.

For this heroic act Jasper Springs, pictured below, was named for him...just don't drink the water!

Next we located this young lady at Keller's Flea Market at 5901 Ogeechee Road in Savannah.

Luckily for her, she loves fleas.

Marlon was craving milk, so he thought he'd give it a try.

Doug prepares to fight a fire.

If you're hunting for this trunk-toting couple, go to Papa Joe's Fireworks on US17, just off I-95 at exit 5 in Hardeeville, South Carolina.

Savannah Humane Society

After visiting Oatland Island Wildlife Center, we decided to visit animals in need of help. We headed over to the Savannah Humane Society.

This well-kept facility is completely sustained by private funds. If you can't adopt a pet, at least shop in their Thrift Store.

We found several resident felines looking for a home.
There has to be at least one you can't resist...

These professional runway models posed picture-perfect to prove they are ready for your love and affection.

Even odd looking cats deserve a good home.

Me...me...

Another coverboy...

Hurry up...I'm sleepy.

Boo!

Who are you?

Let me out of here!

For cats and kittens just like these, visit your nearest shelter or humane society.

As Bob Barker says, "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered."

The solution to the ever-increasing pet population in both shelters worldwide and the wild is to spay and neuter. Remember...animals don't have control over this...PEOPLE do.

3 to 4 million cats and dogs are euthanized every year in animal shelters worldwide due to the negligence of humans who refuse to spay and neuter their pets. Do the right thing...

View a few of the cats at the Savannah Humane Society in the second half of this video.
