My Saturday Evening Post: 5/11/24 “Walking”

One of the joys of living in downtown historic district Savannah is that the walks NEVER get old. And are ongoingly (Is that a word?) beautiful.

The other day, Robert had a chiropractor appointment nearby, so I went with him, but then took the opportunity to walk around that particular little neighborhood.

Here’s a sampling of what I saw.

Jasmine is everywhere this spring!

My favorite house I came across:

And look at its side yard!

And this is in a very urban, tightly packed cityscape.

And here’s a little place, still with a bit of character.

Okay, HR’s finished. Gotta go.

My Saturday Evening Post: 4/6/24 “The Geometry of the Universe (or at Least My Hall)”

My very favorite subject in high school was GEOMETRY.

Unlike calculus, trigonometry, and even algebra, geometry just made plain sense to me.

I mean, everything seems to have a shape. Even if it’s shapeless, isn’t that still sort of a category of a shape?

I also like the way the word “geometry” sounds and even feels coming out of my mouth. Try saying it.

gee-ah-muh-tree

Now try saying it a little slower.

geeee-ahhhh-muuuh-treee”

It’s like getting a teensy massage of the mouth and lips. (Stop staring at me like that. It is!)

And it has such a rhythmic flow.

So yes, I love geometry. The word and the subject.

And apparently, so does my iPhone’s camera. For as I was walking out our front door the other day, minding my own business, my phone looked down and somehow without my assistance snapped a quick photo of our hallway floor, etc.,etc., including my left shoe.

When I discovered the unintentional (at least by me) photo, I have to say that I was a bit charmed with my phone’s artistic expertise and perspective.

Just look at all the geometry!

Circles and squares and ovals. Rectangles and triangles. Lines and points.

If I squint, I think I can even make out a few symbols from sacred geometry.

So even though I have not discovered what the geometry of the universe really is, I do have a better “footing” for my hallway’s geometry.

My Saturday Evening Post: 3/23/24 “Does Food?”

Does food (or life) get any better than this?!

So last weekend, Robert and I ventured down to Jacksonville, Florida to get away from the St. Patrick’s Day craziness here in Savannah. (We live on the parade route.)

One of our weekend meals found us in the Mayport area of Jacksonville, just off the Atlantic Ocean. and at one of our very favorite seafood restaurants, Safe Harbor.

I got the blackened shrimp and haddock. Oh my goodness!

Robert got something or other, I can’t remember what, I was too busy with my own seafood extravaganza.

But here he is …

The Joy of Food!

My Saturday Evening Post: 1/20/24 “Bird Beauty”

So yesterday, Robert and I sashayed over to the Telfair Museums here in Historic District Savannah. (Yes, it’s plural—there are three separate buildings and locations.) One of the joys of living downtown is its walkability. (Is that a word, or did I just make it up?)

I wanted to see one of the newer and smaller exhibits at the Jepson Center.

I have always considered birds to be the personification of elegance and upper echelon beauty.

I was enthralled.
