Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/17/26
1. Fresh, local summer sweet corn!
2. Grandson Daniel (having recently finished his freshman year at Shenandoah Conservatory/Musical Theatre), waiting with MANY others at an open call on Broadway.
He didn’t get a callback but felt he sang well and had a great experience.
3. The ability to hear!
4. These roses in our bathroom window.
5. Enjoying these gigantic inflatables outside the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
HAPPY WEEKEND!
My Saturday Evening Post: 7/11/26 “No Commercials”
Robert and I were at the Hinesville GA Library yesterday, and I came upon this little poster.
BOOKS! What a Blessing. What would we do without them?
The book I’m currently reading …
The book Robert and I are currently reading together …
And that’s My Saturday Evening Post.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 6/25/26
1. This restroom sign at a restaurant in Atlanta.
2. This delightful Father’s Day card I got from kitty cat Benny.
3. Great FIFA Fun as Robert and I joined 68,000 other soccer fans at Atlanta’s FIFA Fan Festival in Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park, as Spain played (and beat) Saudi Arabia at nearby Atlanta Stadium.
4. An incredible Mexican Hot Chocolate at Café Intermezzo in Atlanta.
5. Exploring the absolutely fascinating exhibit of the work of artist Amy Shepard (Michele Obama’s portrait) at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
You may remember that Sherald had a controversy at the Smithsonian involving one of her portraits of a trans figure posing as Miss Liberty.
“Amy Sherald, the acclaimed artist known for her official portrait of Michelle Obama, withdrew her retrospective ‘American Sublime’ from the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in July 2025. The cancellation came after the museum expressed concerns over her painting Trans Forming Liberty, which depicts a Black transgender woman holding a torch in the pose of the Statue of Liberty.” Google AI
My favorite painting …
Happy, Happy Last Weekend in June!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. An abundance of Coleus!
2. Robert’s incredible “Sin-sational Chocolate Cake” at Savannah’s Gallery Expresso the other evening.
Decadent chocolate cream cheese icing!

4. The sky. It’s always there. Clouds, rain, storms, industrial pollution/smoke, etc. may come and go across it for a time, but the sky is always there. Holding it all.
5. Our simple vegetable dinner last night. Charred bok choy, oven-roasted yellow squash, and fresh ripe tomatoes.
I hope you have a delicious weekend ahead!
