No Kings! Savannah Edition
Yesterday Robert and I joined 2000 other Savannah area protesters to voice a resounding “No!” to the Trump administration’s lean toward authoritarianism and strong man politics which are attempting to destroy our nation’s soul.
Inspiring and encouraging speeches, lively posters and joyful camaraderie/solidarity.
From our mayor …
And this poster expressed part of the reason I attended this incredible event …
“Let Freedom Ring, and there be No King.”

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. LOVE-ly coffee.
2. Watching (spying on?) and documenting my Handsome Hubby, as he walks toward our little car heading to an appointment.
3. Spices! Robert and I love them.
Our spice drawer ..
Our spice shelf …
Our Spice Club! …
Once a month or so, our local library offers patrons a new spice, along with an explanation and several recipes. This month is a spice I have never heard about before: Summer Savory.
“Summer savory, Satureja hortensis, is a sweet- and spicy-smelling herb, lighter in flavor than winter savory. It is a member of the Lamiaceae, or mint family, and is indigenous to the Mediterranean region. It is also closely related to rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, and mar-joram. Summer savory had both culinary and medicinal uses in ancient Greece and Rome.” Bull Street Library Spice Club
4. The amazing ability to simply Pay Attention. (That trait is sometimes a bit of a challenge for me and my “all over the map” brain.)
5. I SO appreciate the theme of this year’s Pride Festival in Atlanta.
May we all have a weekend where, even on the most minute of levels, we Realize that we can Resist that which attempts to damage our lives.

“Evil”
Perhaps the only thing worse than evil is evil done in the name of God.
World Oceans Day 2025
“World Ocean Day unites and rallies the world to protect and restore our blue planet!
Since launching global coordination in 2002, World Ocean Day has grown from an idea to thousands of events and millions of people reached each year. The World Ocean Day network includes 2,000+ organizations in 180 countries.
Following a four-year petition drive with our international network, the United Nations officially recognized the Day in 2008.” unworldoceansday.org
Robert and I are fortunate to live about twenty minutes from the ocean—the Atlantic Ocean. Tybee Island (aka Savannah Beach).

Happy (?) Pride Month 2025
“Pride Month is a month-long observance dedicated to the celebration of LGBTQ pride, commemorating the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) culture and community. Pride Month is observed in June in the United States, coinciding with the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots, a series of gay liberation protests.” Wiki
But our federal government doesn’t seem to agree that there should be a Pride Month in the United States …
May the Pride Flag continue to Fly Freely in our troubled nation.
