Shhh … Silent Sunday 3/15/26
Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/13/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. HR all excited about his new Canon EOS R100 camera.
Can cameras really cost that much?!
2. Our great buddy Margaret being recognized at church for her 84th birthday.
3. The ability to AGE. (It is world’s better than the alternative.)
4. Chuckling at the important question in the bathroom at our Airbnb in Macon GA today:
5. The beauty of purple in Macon.
Early wisteria!
GOODness! The aroma.
I hope your weekend smells good!
Thursday Doors: My First Post
Today I’m joining in on the hoopla about doors on Thursday.
Robert and I are spending a couple of days in Macon Georgia. Walking to dinner in the historic district this evening, we came across these doors, all decorated for Macon’s upcoming Cherry Blossom Festival.
Hello, Thursday Doors!
One Word Wednesday 3/11/26
“Bloom!”
Our little window sill Christmas Cactus (also appropriately known as Easter Cactus) finally decided to TALK to us!
Tuesday Truth: 3/3/26 “The Moment”
A new blog category featuring simple but profound truths.
Shhh … Silent Sunday 3/8/26
Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/6/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Making it through this morning’s part two (of a three-part procedure) to—hopefully/fingers crossed—help my chronic lower back pain.
The fun description: “CPT 64493 – Left – Facet Injection, Lumbar/Sacral, a shot of pain numbing substance in one level of the lower back using imaging guidance or detailed pictures to diagnose or treat lower back pain.”
I’m such a baby that even with local anesthesia, I’m sort of out of it for much of the day. But I’m back to the land of the living now, working on this post.
2. Several cool outdoorsy photos Robert took a little while ago, probably to get away from me and my “recovery.”
Is it Spring yet?
3. Our bodies, which I continue to believe/hope know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.
4. Pausing to appreciate the view from above.
5. Proud of Daughter Amy being named by the Savannah area’s United Way as one of the Women Who Rule panelists.
And this sweet text I got from great buddy Jamie Marie during the event …
May you have a weekend of things that bring you healthy pride.
Benny, Books and Me
A Category about What the Cat and I Are Reading
Benny and I just finished Only Murders in the Abbey, the REALLY funny and oh-so-creative spoof of English murder mysteries.
At Scotland’s Loch Down Abbey (which of course has been locked down), a guest is murdered in a locked library during a ball, and the resourceful housekeeper, Mrs. MacBain, must uncover the killer among the guests.
And she does! But not before giving the reader many an out-loud laugh and agonizingly fun brain twist.
I don’t know about you, but every now and then, I simply need an escape read, a book that makes no claim to literary excellence. Just pure reading fun.
When I finished the novel (which I had found in one of the many Free Little Libraries around Savannah), I realized it is actually the sequel to Loch Down Abbey, which I of course must now read.
