My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Being thankful for American patriots who fight for our country’s liberty and freedom.

Thank you, Governor Whitmer!

2. Summer corn, cut fresh off the cob, and cooked in my grandmother’s cast iron. Oh my GOODness.

3. Eyes.

4. Rejoicing over whoever invented the “It’s-Simply-TOO-Hot-to-Turn-on-the-Oven” Crock Pot. (I may sell our stove.)

Featuring Lemon-Garlic Chicken Stew.

With no oven-heat to deflate me, I pulled out the wintery/snowy deer bowls.

A Cool Yum!

5. The ability to walk.

May you walk into a pleasant weekend ahead!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Wonderful Savannah Summer Salads …

HR’s cool pasta salad, with tomato and turkey sandwiches at lunch yesterday

(The red wine, brown sugar pickled beets might have stolen the show.)

And a very yummy summer salad at our favorite neighborhood bar hangout, Midtown Sports, here in Savannah.

2. Discovering and hanging out at the Smallest Church in America (or so it proclaimed) an hour or so south of us near coastal Darien, GA

HR loudly ringing the smallest church’s bell.

(Fun fact: I am actually an ordained minister.)

3. Baked Beans.

4. Love rocks!

5. Bell peppers.

The trio were featured prominently in HR’s sweet and sour pork supper.

May you have a coloful, bell-ringing weekend ahead!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Joyful Sunflowers from the Forsyth Farmers Market here in Savannah.

And when they started to bow down their heads oh so dramatically, I figured out another way to extend their life a bit.

2. At Barnes & Noble, HR holding up Kitty Corn from the book we bought granddaughter Isabelle for her fifth bday.

(We bought Kitty Corn too. She wanted to get out of retail.)

3. Short pants in the summer.

4. Spices and Herbs! What a blessing they add to our culinary lives.

5. Breathing in and breathing out.

May you have a spicy weekend ahead!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Getting all cultured, attending the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s 2023 Season Finale with incredible first-year-in-Atlanta conductor Nathalie Stutzmann.

“Bolero” was stunningly, movingly beautiful.

2. Fresh farm peaches from Ellijay, GA. Sweet and juicy (sorta like “Bolero”)!

3. Being thankful for my eyesight.

4. Seeing the world premiere of circus-based musical “Water for Elephants” at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. I loved the novel and was uber excited to hear that it was coming out as a play.

5. Celebrating Robert’s birthday (the young upstart) at Truva, a terrific little Turkish restaurant in the hip Virginia Highland neighborhood near Midtown Atlanta.
