Sometime
Sometime all you need is a change of scenery …
Robert and I are back down in Ponte Vedra, Florida at the oceanfront condo my daughter is renting for six months, as she contemplates expanding her medical business down here. So of course we find ways to finagle our way here as often as possible.
I swim 20 lamps each morn at 7:30 before the sun becomes a broiler.
This summer, I am attempting to write a memoir about the challenge of “marrying” my previous straight life (to Donna) and my current gay life (with Robert). And what a challenge!
Here’s my sunny study in the condo where I’m attempting to write …
As I sit in that wicker chair, some days I realize that we’re all writing our memoirs, day by day and year by year.
I hope your story is filled with an Abundance of Good.
My Saturday Evening Post: 7/4/26 “What To Do with a Perfect Tomato on the Forth of July”
I was thrilled to find beautiful heirloom tomatoes today at our favorite produce stand here in Savannah, David Produce.
As the photo above suggests, I LOVE tomatoes!
So what should I do with this beauty?
Since we had our traditional holiday hotdog for lunch …
… I decided to tackle something a little different for dinner.
Tomato toast!
It was delicious!
And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.
