I have never thought about saying goodbye to Friday before. I have always welcomed Friday. But this is a new idea.
Goodbye Friday

Five Friday Happy Bringers 2/10/23
1. The squirrel on our dining room table. HR’s nickname is Squirrel (long story), so I love it when I find little squirrel figurines.
2. The mincemeat pie I made with leftover mincemeat (from Christmas). It was delicious!
The only issue I had with it was the potential murder weapon Robert used to serve it.
3. The ability to taste, TASTE! Sweet, sour, bitter, salty, etc. What an incredible blessing!
4. The camellias blooming all over Savannah this February.
And for some reason I find the blossoms that fall on the ground so pretty.
5. The joy of leftovers.
At least, once a week, Robert and I have a meal with only leftovers.
Make your weekend be so good (in whatever way you define good) that you will have leftovers on Monday.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 2/3/23
1. Walking out into a Savannah square near us to read. Sending a selfie to Robert.
And getting his response
2. Being able to walk. To put one foot in front of the other, time and time again. What a blessing!
3. HR decorating our little sidewalk tree trunk garden, with some fallen camellia blossoms.
4. Learning about joy from the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
(Our 162nd book we have read together.)
5. Beautiful food.
Here’s hoping your weekend is beautifully delicious.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 1/6/23
1. My Favorite Little Card from the holidays.
“Be Kind, Rain or Shine”
2. Memories of a Beautiful Christmas 2022.
3. Shelter. A place to sleep, to lay my head at night.
4. Grandson Daniel, enjoying the “Harry Potter Experience” in Atlanta recently.
5. My Resolution #5 for 2023:
“LOOK FOR GOOD.”
May we all have a “good-looking” weekend ahead.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 12/30/22
1. Holly.
I think that Christmas can absolutely not be Jolly without Holly.
2. Robert’s little homemade birch Christmas card-hanging thingy.
3. The ability to wake up each morning and see. SEE! I can look on the other side of the bed and see HR sleeping soundly. (Well, more truthfully, actually HEAR HR sleeping soundly. Whew.) I can look out my window and see the ancient Live Oak tree branches swaying in the wind. I can walk out of the bedroom into the hall, kitchen, living room, and see our modest collection of art, family heirlooms and comfortable rugs …
I can see! What an incredible blessing. But I so often take SEEING for granted.
4. My World Famous Hambone Soup, made from the hambone left over from our Christmas ham.
Oh, and with my jalapeño cornbread.
5. The Truth of this quote …
“The destination of life is this eternal moment.” Alan Watts
I truthfully hope you have a joyful last weekend of 2022.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 12/23/22
1. Walking through our local mall the other day, HR and I came upon our grandson Daniel, fresh from a haircut nearby, aimlessly meandering around, waiting for his mom to pick him up. We confiscated him and took him out to lunch at Chick-fil-A.
Family Joy. Daniel is especially excited because he just got the part of Marius in a local production of Les Mis.
2. Our deliciously sweet tradition of getting a tin of peppermint bark from Williams Sonoma.
3. Having expectations, hopes, dreams, things we still want to accomplish during our short time here.
4. This nutcracker.
5. My early Friday morning view right now from the couch.
May you have an abundance of beautiful holiday views this weekend.

1. Our new turtle ornament!
2. Savannah holiday wreathes near us.
3. Our fingers. Our toes. What a blessing.
4. The incredible beauty of the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s annual “Garden Lights, Holiday Nights.” Each year it gets better and brighter!
A little video featuring some of the musical lights hanging from the tall garden trees.
5. The cutest holiday grandchild in the history of grandchildren.
May you have a holly jolly weekend ahead.

1. Our interracial ornaments!
2. The beautiful little boutique coffee shop that just opened across the street from us in the old Trustees Garden area of Savannah.
3. The joy and privilege of breathing in and breathing out … all the time!
4. Cute-collared holiday doggie near us.
5. Democracy winning …
May you have a winning weekend ahead!
Five Friday Happy Bringers 12/2/22
1. Seeing this display at Fresh Market snd thinking it was giving me life advice …
(I still think it’s pretty good life advice.)
2. Having a delightfully laidback and peaceful post-Thanksgiving meal with two of Robert’s children.
3. The color green (my favorite).
4. Last night’s Design District Holiday Walk here in Savannah.
With the fanciest and most beautiful hors d’oeuvres I have ever seen.
5. HR’s fall-hearty and yummy chicken casserole the other night.
I hope your weekend casseroles around beautifully for you.
