Five Friday Happy Bringers 11/17/23

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Falling beauty. (Even in a Savannah shopping center parking lot.)

I had to look at this leaf for a bit before I started to see its aging beauty as well.

2. Belts.

3. More autumn beauty in Savannah.

The Kehoe House Historic Inn one square over from ours.

4. An early Thanksgiving dinner at our church’s Wednesday Night Supper this week, with ex-wife Donna and our good buddy Margaret.

We all just have SO very much to be thankful for! (Especially those garlic mashed potatoes with gravy.)

5. Covered streets.

May you have a cornucopia of joy this weekend.

I saw these on a walk this morn.

3. Our wonderful noses and the ability to smell!

Joyful weekend ahead!

Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/27/23

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. HR and I live in Savannah’s Historic District just off Washington Square (Savannah has 22), a few blocks from the mighty river.

This past Saturday, our square and ward held our 7th Annual Bathrobe Brunch. In memory of a local Washington Square resident who would wear his bathrobe out in the square, sit at a particular bench and work on his day’s business pursuits.

We wear our PJ’s and bathrobes, bring brunch treats and socialize up a storm.

Robert and I (well, I) chose a mismatched Halloween theme this year.

The food was incredible.

SUCH SAVANNAH FUN!

2. And later the same day, enjoying the Savannah Pride Festival.

3. Shoes! Aren’t they wonderful?! You don’t have to go barefooted. Do you own any?

My new Hokas.

4. Grandson Daniel winning the Best Actor award at last weekend’s South Georgia regional one-act play competition for his role as Peter in “Peter and the Star Catcher.”

(Not that I’m a proud grandad or anything.)

5. This very cool autumnal season.

Happy Last Weekend in October!

For some reason, Robert decided to pose all uppity. Like he created those plants.

3. The delicious simplicity of pasta sauce …

4. Our toes!

Look down and thank them real quick.

5. Incredible books!

May this weekend be a Garden of Joy for you!
