Shhh … Silent Sunday. 9/1/24
Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/16/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Flowers in our … bathroom.
What better place?
2. Swimming with my fellow.
(Okay, maybe HR and I are just standing lazily in a pool )
But look! Here I am doing a handstand … at %!^&*$ years of age …
3. Joyful birthday celebration with grandtwins Matthew and Madison.
And princess tenting with their little sister, Isabelle.
(It took me twenty minutes to get outta there.)
4. Making a Collard Casserole. (Yes, you heard that right.)
No collard leaf is an ugly colored leaf!
He’s just a little worn and brown at the edges. (Like me.)
5. Grandson Daniel at his “Last First Day of School.” He’s a senior at Savannah Country Day.
They have this tradition with the seniors driving onto campus while parents, grandparents, siblings, strangers, etc. yell and act foolish, waving posters and big head pictures.
Here comes D …
And here is D’s adoring crew:
Daniel is in the white t-shirt, leaning toward his mom and girlfriend.
Huh? What do you mean you can’t see Robert and me?
We’re sorta under the poster that screams “Daniel” (which I made, Thank You.)
But wait, here we are in clearer view …
See us? To the left of the Daniel sign.
Wait again, this is supposed to be about Daniel.
Did I just hear someone ask to see my award-winning poster in a close-up? Okay, here you go …
May you have an award-winning weekend ahead! 
Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/2/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Swimming grandchildren.
2. Fresh summer field peas! Oh my GOODness.
3. The prickly beauty of Red Roses.
4. Air conditioning. (That really should be Number One. )
5. “My” Square, Washington Square, near us— which is a sort of ward/neighborhood outdoor living room. (Savannah‘s historic district has 22 beautiful squares.)
May you have a picture perfect weekend ahead!
(Or at least a little rest.)
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.
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 6/10/24 “First of the Season”
Marveling at the JOY of having our first local, vine-ripe tomato sandwich for 2024.
Robert got fancy, and in my opinion, “purist tomato sandwich blasphemous,” with flavored vinegars and gobs of cucumbers, instead of simple salt, pepper and Duke’s mayonnaise.
May you experience something MARVELous this Monday!
Shhh … Silent Sunday. 5/5/24
Five Friday Happy Bringers 4/19/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Robert’s golden beet soup …
… with fresh parsley, black sesame seeds and naan.
2. And speaking of food, remember the silly post I recently did about a very large spring onion HR found?
Here’s what he did with it.
A deliciously juicy, tender and flavorful roasted … yum.
3. Learning something new this week …
I didn’t realize there was a Universal Sign for Help, did you? 
4. This …
What do you mean, you don’t really see anything? Look closer!
Still nothing?
Actually, what you’re seeing is what I often see when I walk out my front door: a few blocks away, past the trees and traffic, a massive container ship (which sort of looks like a building) …
… maneuvering its course down the Savannah River and out into the Atlantic Ocean.
I’m not sure why this sight brings me a bit of happiness. Maybe because that ship is so WORLD BOUND while I’m just heading to Kroger.
5. Twin Beauty.
May your weekend be Quadruple Beauty!
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 4/15/24 “Spring Onion”
Marveling!
One of the joys of warmer weather here in Savannah is the advent of the Spring Onion.
I love them!
