My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Robert’s little red hat under Burger King’s new lights … which look like a gargantuan burger. See the top bun on the right?

2. Remembering last Sunday and Savannah Photo Club’s Third Sunday Photo Walk. (Whew. That’s a mouthful.)

We met at the newly opened and very cool Laundry Diner …

… and walked about a mile around the Thomas Square neighborhood.

Most folks had these fancy cameras (including Robert), some with lens as long as my forearm, but I tagged along, head held high, with my trusty iPhone.

Perhaps the thing I love most about the monthly walk, other than the photo snapping and the socializing, is the opportunity to really SEE your city, up close and personal, which can only be done on foot.

Oh, we finished up the walk back at the diner, sharing a … little BLT.

3. The ability to walk. Oh my goodness, what an “I usually take it for granted” blessing!

4. Simple beauty.

5. Attending an absolutely fascinating interview at our local Jepson Center for the Arts, featuring New York-based costume designer for stage and film Tracy Christensen.

After talking about the behind-the-scenes work involved in dressing characters, Tracy specifically delved into her collaborative role with Glenn Close and the Broadway reprisal of Sunset Boulevard in 2017.

Miraculously, Robert and I were in NYC and able to see the brilliant actress as Norma Desmond on the very final day of the production.

A few samples of Close’s archive of outfits she wore in various projects over the years on display at The Jepson.

Look! There’s HR, walking down his own pretend runway.

May Happiness and Good Health be your Costume this Weekend.
