Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/22/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Touching a tree.

But not just any tree. a magnificent Longleaf Pine here in Savannah.

2. Last Friday on our way to Jacksonville, Florida for the weekend, stopping by Amelia Island for lunch at one of our favorite casual lunch haunts along the ocean, Coast at the Ritz Carlton. (We eat there, not stay there.)

My Catch of the Day Sandwich was simply incredible.

3. Grandson Gabriel’s sensational three seconds in a recent basketball game in Atlanta …

I’m afraid he doesn’t get that skill from me. ☹️

4. While we were in Jacksonville last weekend (to get away from Savannah‘s crazy St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans, if you want to know … we live on the parade route), we ventured over to Jacksonville Beach where my family vacationed for well over a decade back in the late 60s and 70s.

We visited the Beaches Museum there. And from their archives, I discovered the motel where my family stayed … the Silver Sea Motel! A mid- to lower-end motel with beds where you could insert a quarter and get a shaky fifteen-minute “massage.”

Such JOYFUL memories.

5. Our three little Travel Buddies who venture with us on all our trips.

We have given each other a variety of neat little stuffed animals over the years (i.e. gay), but these three have become our favorite. They go where we go. This photo was taken in the living room of our Jacksonville Airbnb. We loved the pink azaleas waving at us through the windows.

May this weekend you enJOY some JOYful memories as well.

1. HR’s beautifully delicious fresh Veggie Fajitas.

YUM!

2. Voting!

3. The privilege of waking up each morning. (Everybody doesn’t.)

4. Narcissus. Now! Now?

5. The sky!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. HR cavorting around in local bamboo.

2. This incredible salad from the other day. Do you know the joy of salad?!

3. Grandson Gabriel being a standout in the regional basketball championship for eighth graders here in Savannah.

And here he is continuing to hog the trophy.

(FYI: I yelled and clapped far too inappropriately loud at times.)

4. Having at least a dozen reasons to smile everyday! (What have you smiled about today?)

5. Savannah’s Perfectly Pretty in Pink February!

Okay, maybe I have more than five Happy Bringers this Friday …

6. Beautiful morning coffee and breakfast burrito at nearby cool and hip Origin Coffee Bar. (Because of course I know what is cool and hip.)

7. This animal-looking stump thingy Robert and I saw on our Fort Pulaski/Cockspur Island hike the other day.

I sorta wanted to hug him.

Weekend hugs to you!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Our seasonally inappropriate yet longevity-embracing pumpkin from last fall … who simply refuses to give up the ghost.

2. Like they have done in winters past, someone “decorates” our Washington Square with newly fallen camellia blooms.

3. Our incredible digestive systems, which take the food we eat and voila! gives us energy and health. Thank you, Tummy.

4. I try to keep roses around as long as possible. Why wouldn’t you?! Here’s a reiteration (is that a word?) of some white beauties that Robert gave me on Valentine’s Day.

5. R and R. (Robert and Red.)

May this weekend bring you an extravagance of Joy.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Robert’s yummy Kale and Egg Breakfast Soufflé.

(Along with my clove/dill refrigerator pickles.)

2. This terrific little book HR and I recently finished.

It beautifully illustrates “trans, nonbinary and gender expansive” individuals who have made/continue to make a positive and healthy difference in our world.

3. Fallen beauty.
