Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/30/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Daughter Amy and son-in-law Scott hamming it up by the river near their house.
2. HR suggesting we drive over to nearby Tybee Island for an evening walk on the beach.
And look! Another riveting film in my long-running canon of riveting films, this one starring the Atlantic Ocean, the Tybee Pier and HR. 
3. The ability to WALK. What a blessing! I encourage you, wherever you are and if possible, to stand up and walk around a bit. What a miracle!
4. Sunlight on grass.
5. My fellow.
May you have an Ocean of Weekend Fun ahead.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/23/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
- Robert and I had a lovely hour perusing a new exhibit, “A Measure of Time,” at our local Savannah Jepson Center for the Arts.
Gloriously colorful, geometric shapes everywhere!
2. The ongoing belief that our bodies know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.
3. Colorful carrots!
I made a delicious new dish, Maple Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Fennel Seeds, with some of them.
4. Our “Travel Buddies.” Have I told you about them? Three silly little stuffed animals HR and I have given each other over the years. But they travel with us EVERYWHERE we go.
I’ll do a blog post about some of their adventures soon.
5. Friday!
Joyful weekend ahead for you!
My Saturday Evening Post: 7/21/24 “Key Lime”
HR is having to drink Key Lime water for health reasons lately, and the little orbs have fascinated me for some reason.
Maybe it’s their Small Size or their Sensational Scent.
“This Is My Song”
I love this hymn we sang at church this week, as the theme of the service was celebrating our nation’s independence holiday.
It challenges the belief that the United States is “God’s country,” that the USA is more special and deserving of good than other nations.
Take a look at the lyrics, with my emphasis in red:
This Is My Song
by Georgia Elma Harkness, Jean Sibelius, and Lloyd Stone
Verse 1
This is my song O God of all the nations
A song of peace for lands afar and mine
This is my home the country where my heart is
Here are my hopes my dreams my holy shrine
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine
Verse 2
My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean
And sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine
But other lands have sunlight too and clover
And skies are everywhere as blue as mine
O hear my song Thou God of all nations
A song of peace for their land and for mine
Verse 3
This is my prayer O Lord of all earth’s kingdoms
Thy kingdom come on earth Thy will be done
Let Christ be lifted up till all shall serve Him
And hearts united learn to live as one
O hear my prayer Thou God of all nations
Myself I give Thee let Thy will be done
God bless … the World and all its Nations.

2. HR, coffee and the world.

4. My Bombay Potatoes with amchur (dried mango) spice. You may recall that Robert and I participate in a monthly “Spice Club” at our local library. SO much fun!

May you have a Colorful Weekend ahead.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 6/7/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. This new (to HR and me) hot sauce we discovered at a local Mexican restaurant yesterday. So good with a hot and smokey flavor.
2. The beautifully rustic little cabin we stayed in at F.D. Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain, GA earlier this week.
3. Meeting some very neat home-for-the-summer college kids at a corn farm.
4. Robert’s homemade pizza for supper tonight.
5. Georgia Peaches!
I hope you have a Peach of a Weekend ahead!

“CORN”
In Flanders Fields
From 1914 to 1918, Flanders Fields was a major battle theatre on the Western Front during the First World War. A million soldiers from more than 50 different countries were wounded, missing or killed in action here. visitflanders.com
The poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’, by John McCrae, went on to inspire the use of the poppy, which once grew on the battlefields of Flanders Fields, to become an enduring symbol of remembrance across the world.
HAVE A BLESSED MEMORIAL DAY 2024
