I retired from full-time college teaching at Georgia Southern University back (way back) in 2012 A decade ago! How could time possibly go by so quickly?!
I loved my office.
A couple of my classes …
Marching in my final commencement ceremony …
Goodbye office.
Bittersweet retirement. So many wondrous memories.
Having my plaque added to the wall of retired profs.
I love retirement, and now the “bitter” from “bittersweet” has melted into “sweet.”
“Enter?”
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
Robert and … a Nine’s Clock.
See how many of the equations you can solve.
TiB (Truth in Blogging): The clock belongs to my ex-wife Donna, a retired math professor. HR had just repaired the broken clockwork thingies for her.
Wait! Before you go, here’s a spellbinding film that captures the essence of Robert, a cat and the Nine’s Clock.
Yesterday, I fashioned my only-once-a-season summer tradition …
Neal’s Savannah Summer Tomato Pie.
Both labor and time-intensive, it is nevertheless a delight to the eyes, nose and tastebuds.
First the ingredients. Home grown tomatoes, if possible, and if not, locally grown ones at a produce stand or farmers market. HR and I get ours at Davis Produce a few miles away from us near Tybee Island.
Fresh basil and chives.
Diced bacon and shallots.
Wait, here’s a riveting video!
Layering cheese, bacon, herbs and shallot mixture with the tomatoes.
An hour later.
Tomato Joy!
1. Fresh local green beans.
2. Beautiful eyes.
3. The incredible ability to smell.
4. Peachy light and shadow.
5. Having a terrific therapist, Rubi, who consistently helps me lean toward healthy mental health.
May your weekend be one of peace.
Deer me! Here’s hoping your Thursday is looking up.
