Moaning a bit this morning.
Is it just me, or is “Goodbye” just SO much harder than “Hello”?

I’m marveling this Monday morn, remembering two recent preposterously delicious meals Robert and I shared.

First, Robert absolutely outdid himself the other night at supper with his Fisherman’s Pie.

Starring cod, shrimp, smoked salmon snd crab leg meat.


With a supporting cast of leeks, spinach and heavy cream. Topped off with succulent mashed potatoes.

Somewhat similar to a seafood chowder, with a thicker consistency.

Oh my GOODNESS.
The recipe HR used, in case you’re interested:
Trying not to be outdone, I put together (in my mother‘s old cast iron skillet, which actually belonged to her mother) another supper of Bone-In Pork Chops with Honey-crisp Apples and Spiced Cider.



It tasted like autumn!



And a link to my recipe:
P.S. I love using the word “supper” instead of “dinner.” It’s nostalgic. It’s home.

Marveling this morning at how much DELICIOUS JOY a little box of autumn chocolates can bring.



Marveling this Monday, remembering the terrific Savannah Pride Weekend we just experienced.
As I have mentioned before, both Savannah and Atlanta hold their Pride Festivals in October because the traditional month of June is simply TOO HOT here.
We started the weekend at our church’s Friday night Pride Service. 




Then Saturday was the Savannah Pride Festival in beautiful Forsyth Park.



I love the beautiful truthfulness of this poster:

Marveling this morn.
Participating in the Savannah Photo Club’s Third Sunday Photo Walk yesterday, I came across this very mature, dead-looking rambling rose bush.

But as I got closer, i saw a defiant splash of red beckoning me through the branches.

A brilliant late-October duo.

“Old does not mean dead,” they said in unison.



Wait, let me get this straight. Folks are getting fired from their jobs for exercising their first amendment right to speak freely.
But this guy can call for execution of American citizens with no punishment?
I’m marveling, as usual, at our amazing ability to read.
I invite you to stop whatever you’re doing for a moment and think/shout, “I can read!”
Here’s what I’m reading right now …


Happy Monday!
I’m marveling this Monday morn, reliving Robert’s and my delightful hiking adventure at nearby J. F. Gregory Park down in nearby Richmond Hill GA.






And a little picnic in the park …

I hope you have something to marvel about this Monday.
September is here! And I am marveling this morning because it was 66° (!) when Robert and I headed out to one of our favorite coffee shops, Flora and Fauna. I actually wore a jacket! (I had to look around a bit for it.)

HR’s:

Happy September First!
