“Horns!”
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 11/10/25
I’m marveling this Monday morn, remembering two recent preposterously delicious meals Robert and I shared.
First, Robert absolutely outdid himself the other night at supper with his Fisherman’s Pie.
Starring cod, shrimp, smoked salmon snd crab leg meat.
With a supporting cast of leeks, spinach and heavy cream. Topped off with succulent mashed potatoes.
Somewhat similar to a seafood chowder, with a thicker consistency.
Oh my GOODNESS.
The recipe HR used, in case you’re interested:
Trying not to be outdone, I put together (in my mother‘s old cast iron skillet, which actually belonged to her mother) another supper of Bone-In Pork Chops with Honey-crisp Apples and Spiced Cider.
It tasted like autumn!
And a link to my recipe:
P.S. I love using the word “supper” instead of “dinner.” It’s nostalgic. It’s home.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/15/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Green beans.
2. This cute little doggie store on my morning walk.
3. The amazing ability to remember. What a gift.
4. What we need more of:
5. Robert’s love of fancy coffee … that’s not in a paper cup.
Starbucks this morning.
What’s on your Happiness List today?
Shhh … Silent Sunday. 8/10/25

“Smoothie”
I love making smoothies without following any specific recipe.
This morn I noticed that our last Banana was on the Brink of Bereavement, so I asked if he would like to go for a final swim with his buddies Pineapple, Strawberry, Spinach, Turmeric, and Cayenne.
“ Yes, let me peel off what I’m wearing and I’ll jump right in!”
Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/25/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. My favorite summer lunch: simple Tomato Sandwich with vine-ripe tomatoes, accompanied by mayo, thinly sliced Vidalia onions, and a sprinkling of fresh thyme, salt and pepper.
Oh my GOODness!
2. Going to Tybee Island Post Theater to see grandson Daniel’s final Savannah play before heading off to musical theatre college in the fall.
Daniel played the part of Jack (as in Jack and the beanstalk) in Into the Woods.
3. I know I say this often, but what a blessing air-conditioning is. I know it’s very hot in many, many places, but here in Savannah the heat is exacerbated by ridiculously thick humidity.
Weekend:
But as Marjorie Taylor Greene says, there’s no climate crisis!
4. The ability to lift my coffee cup up to my mouth each morning. What a blessing!
5. Our overly photographed kitty cat Benny.
May you have an Overpopulation of Good this last weekend in July.

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 7/14/25
Oh my goodness! I’m still MARVELING over Robert’s absolutely amazing Scalloped Potatoes in Cast Iron Sunday Night Supper …
It was actually a full meal because Robert added layers of turkey and ham — and then some bacon on top.
(I unsuccessfully tried to convince myself that it was sort of vegetarian since it had so many potatoes.)
