Five Friday Happy Bringers 4/19/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Robert’s golden beet soup …

… with fresh parsley, black sesame seeds and naan.

2. And speaking of food, remember the silly post I recently did about a very large spring onion HR found?

Here’s what he did with it.

A deliciously juicy, tender and flavorful roasted … yum.

3. Learning something new this week …

I saw this on a door at the Savannah VA Center yesterday. Robert is an Army Veteran

I didn’t realize there was a Universal Sign for Help, did you? 

4. This …

What do you mean, you don’t really see anything? Look closer!

Still nothing?

Actually, what you’re seeing is what I often see when I walk out my front door: a few blocks away, past the trees and traffic, a massive container ship (which sort of looks like a building) …

… maneuvering its course down the Savannah River and out into the Atlantic Ocean.

I’m not sure why this sight brings me a bit of happiness. Maybe because that ship is so WORLD BOUND while I’m just heading to Kroger.

5. Twin Beauty.

May your weekend be Quadruple Beauty!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. Asparagus and corn for our Meatless Tuesday this week (Monday fell through.)

2. Grandson Gabriel (far right, front) and his friends enjoying the eclipse.

3. The amazing ability to see. Try this: move your head slowly to the left and then to the right, noticing how many colors you see along each way.

4. Robert’s aunt’s colorful homemade placemats.

5. This beautiful Purple Clematis fearlessly climbing on a house near us.

I hope nothing eclipses your chances for a Joyful Weekend ahead.

Velocity! I Did Not.

As a retiree, it’s both pretty sad and very telling that the most exciting text (followed by an email) that I received today was an invitation to take part in a diarrhea study. But with the possibility of payment!
