Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 8/19/24 “BP!”

Posted on by Neal Saye

I’m MARVELING this morning. Let me explain.

So HR has NEVER had a WARM (important adjective) HOMEMADE (second important adjective) BANANA PUDDING!

I felt so sorry for Robert’s culinarily sad deprivation that I got straight to work.

Of course he had to put his two cents in, asking for (demanding) Chessmen Butter cookies in addition to classic vanilla wafers …

… which made me a little mad, but good husband that I am, I plowed ahead.

Before the oven …

(Thanks, I thought it was pretty too.)

And now for the meringue …

For some inexplicable reason, HR decided to video me spreading the meringue …

Wasn’t that riveting?

Now wait with me for 15 minutes till the peaks brown.

Ta Da!

MARVELous!

You Know

You know you’re getting old when you get invited to this …

(Ex-wife Donna and I graduated from incredibly beautiful Berry College in Rome, Georgia way back in 1974.)

At the same time, you’re out in your also-incredibly beautiful Savannah Square reading this …

Ho hum. Life goes on.

With beauty all around.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Colorful window boxes near us.

2. HR, coffee and the world.

3. The ability to smell!

4. My Bombay Potatoes with amchur (dried mango) spice. You may recall that Robert and I participate in a monthly “Spice Club” at our local library. SO much fun!

5. Colorful art from granddaughter Madison.

May you have a Colorful Weekend ahead.

A blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations.

So the other morning I sat down with HR to my breakfast of ham cubes (well, that’s what they look like, right?), eggs and toast.

Sleepily took a bite of toast …

… and spotted the rare GrapeJelly Splattered Scrubwren!

Sadly, birdlike, she didn’t linger on my plate very long before “flying” away.

Velocity! I Did Not.

As a retiree, it’s both pretty sad and very telling that the most exciting text (followed by an email) that I received today was an invitation to take part in a diarrhea study. But with the possibility of payment!

(My first name is Donald.)

(I did not reply STOP.)

Sometimes

Sometimes you just have to breathe, lean over and rest.

How I discovered our little pink hyacinth this morning on the breakfast table.

Then HR woke up and, without so much as a “Good Morning” made Hy stand right back up!

LIFE IS TOUGH.
