“The Artful Dodger“ #21

Posted on by Neal Saye

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

So recently HR (“Husband Robert,” come on now, you know that) made a simple but yummy breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage patties (from local fresh-from-the-farm-meats 920 Cattle & Company, up the road from us).

“Neal, it’s ready.”

I morning-stumbled to the table … and almost instantly SAW THEM.

Twins. TWINS! Dressed in casual but elegant Sunshine Morning Yellow Rompers.

I sat down. Asked their names.

“Lisa and Liam, sir. Yours?”

“Neal.”

“You both look so cute,” I gushed. “And you smell just SO good!”

“Thank you,” they hesitantly responded.

“Are you a cannibal, sir?”

My Saturday Evening Post: 8/5/23 “$1.5 Billion Pickles“

Posted on by Neal Saye

So today, after buying the winning ticket for Monday Night’s $1.5 billion Mega Millions Lottery …

… a distressing thought occurred to me, interrupting my more-pleasant day dream about the hippest colors for matching Land Rovers for Robert and me. The Distressing Thought:

“What if, because of some Freak Accident by The Universe, I DON’T WIN?!”

After hyperventilating and falling into the depths of despair far too long for a man of my age, I finally came to my senses, realizing that there’s more than one way to get 1.5 billion dollars. Duh.

Then, Creative that I am, it didn’t take me long to come up with a viable Plan B.

A PICKLE BUSINESS!

Right?! Yes?! You with me?

I got to work, feeling so lucky that HR and I had just purchased some beautiful fancy cucumbers.

TIB (Truth in Blogging): Robert prepped the cucumbers, using his Fancy Stainless Steel Kitchen Mandoline Slicer thingy, which he won’t let me ANYWHERE near. He says I would kill myself because of my wandering attention span.

See? You’re believing in me now, I bet.

The name of my new $1.5 Billion Pickle Company?

“NEAL’S DILLS,” of course.

“Pine-Apple-ing”

Posted on by Neal Saye

So I walked into our bathroom, an hour or so ago, in order to, well you know.

I started to sit down and saw this …

“Wait, what’s going on?” I thought, as I leisurely, then worriedly gazed at the curtained window. “Is this my bathroom?! Where AM I?”

“Is that an alien just outside my bathroom window? Look at his/her TALL hair!”

Terrified, I was ready to squeal, to yell for HR (Husband Robert- you know that!) to come help me, when I decided that, “No, let’s pull back the curtain. Kind of like with the Wizard of Oz.”

And then I realized.

HR had just put the pineapple in the bathroom window to catch some sun and ripen a bit more.

But seriously, IN THE BATHROOM?!

“Robert and … #38”

A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.

Robert and … his foot with three cats.

See them?

Well, you may have to squint a bit for the third.

Benny: “Neal, you do realize there’s really only one cat, right?”

Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/7/23

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Joyful Sunflowers from the Forsyth Farmers Market here in Savannah.

And when they started to bow down their heads oh so dramatically, I figured out another way to extend their life a bit.

Sunflower heads-up in a bowl of water.

2. At Barnes & Noble, HR holding up Kitty Corn from the book we bought granddaughter Isabelle for her fifth bday.

See why she’s called “Kitty Corn”?

(We bought Kitty Corn too. She wanted to get out of retail.)

3. Short pants in the summer.

4. Spices and Herbs! What a blessing they add to our culinary lives.

5. Breathing in and breathing out.

May you have a spicy weekend ahead!
