Today we set out with a mission. We were going to have lunch at "The Lady and Sons" or die trying.

Paula Deen is a local Savannah hero. She started cooking from her home making sandwiches and cookies while her boys took them to local business at noon to sell. She was called, "the bag lady" back then because she sold bag lunches.

She began a business called "The Lady and Sons" and it is a huge success. Since starting the business she has expanded to a bigger building to accomodate more people. She has her own show on the Food Network now. Whenever Paula is in town the lines are much longer.

They don't take reservations so you must show up early and get in line to wait. We arrived at 10 a.m. and actually were seated by 11:20 a.m. (they open the doors at 11). We met up with Jennifer from Tennessee (Happy at Home) who is also a huge Paula Deen fan. We were thrilled just to be there, (Mr. Wonderful was hungry) and the food was delicious.

Since Paula is traveling 8 months out of the year we took a picture of us with her poster as that's as close as we could get today. I'll post it laster if blogger will let me.

What a thrill to meet Jennifer. She is so sweet and Flip Flop Floosie and I fell in love with her instantly. We've adopted her. We dragged her all over the city showing her the sights. I'm sure she will sleep well tonight. So far my batting average for meeting bloggers is a thousand. Not one has disappointed me yet.

Drop over and give my "girls" a shout out. It was an absolutely fabulous day!
