Peace, Baby, Peace

There isn’t anything more beautifully peaceful than a little baby (clarification: a quiet or sleeping baby, that is).

And what an extra special blessing our grandchildren are.

Beach Peace

One of the many great joys of living in Historic District Savannah is the easy fifteen-minute drive along the Savannah River and the marshes to Tybee Island (aka Savannah Beach) .

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 12/19/22

Definitely marveling this Monday morning.

Last night I made my rosemary spiced nuts for the holidays, and our apartment still smells incredible this morn.

South Georgia pecans and walnuts; a mixture of brown sugar, cayenne pepper and Kosher salt; finely chopped rosemary from my window herbs, and melted butter.

15 minutes later …

Deliciously marvelous holiday joy.

Priestly Peaceful Fun

Yesterday, three of my grandchildren were baptized in the beautiful St. Thomas Episcopal Church, on Isle of Hope (isn’t that a cool name for a community?) near Savannah.

After the service, during picture-taking time with the Bishop, he paused to show the children his balancing skills with his staff (or “crosier”).

The kids and adults all joined God in laughing, appreciatively.
