The View from Behind #5: “Laughing Flowers”
For some reason, I have always appreciated “the view from behind.” As a child, on the first day of each school year, I was a nervous wreck waiting for the teacher to announce our seating arrangement. Front of the class? 😢 Too much exposure! Far too much responsibility to “be.” A nice, comfy seat toward the back? 😁 Perfect. I get to observe, to “see.” To breathe calmly.
In this blog category, “The View from Behind,” I invite you to join me, somewhere in the back.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/21/22
1. The fact that most of the disagreements between Robert and me are of a minor variety. Such as “how to have” tuna salad for lunch. He likes to get all carbohydrate-y with bread …
While I, more superiorly, (is that a word?) skillfully position the tuna, tilting rather Cirque de Soleil-ishly, on a bed of lettuce and tomato …
Okay, maybe his looks a little better. From the side.
2. Last night watching Grandson Daniel beautifully yet harrowingly perform perhaps his most serious role yet—Buddy Layman, a depression-era autistic teen with the ability to find water, in Jim Leonard’s The Diviners.
The full cast …
Not-so-happy ending …
3. Chrysanthemums in Savannah.
near us on Columbia Square
4. Shrimp.
5. The word “healthy” in all its various meanings.
I hope you have a healthy and restful weekend ahead.

Marveling at the beauty of the glorious gladiolus here in Savannah. One of my favorite flowers on the planet.

“Glorious”
Five Friday Happy Bringers 5/6/22
1. Our new salt and pepper grinders!
(It doesn’t take much to make me excitedly happy.)
2. Pretty in purple.
3. The belief that our United States of America is still a democracy, despite the extremists (even seeping into the Supreme Court), who want to declare it — and make it — not so.
4. HR’s (Husband Robert’s) creative culinary expertise. Here’s a recent breakfast bowl …
5. Robert, dogs and me.
May You Have a Happy First Weekend in May!
