“Locked”

So here I am (pic below), at the very top of Georgia’s Sapelo Island Lighthouse last week. Yvonne, our incredible tour guide, (inexplicably and even more incredibly) gave ME these keys and told me to unlock the hatch at the top of the lighthouse for the five of us who braved the winds (of approaching storm Nicole) to go to the very top.

After much struggle, I finally got the HEAVY hatch open, and we scaled the heights.

Robert found everything hilarious up there, while I fake laughed (and held on to him) …

Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/28/22

1. Grand twins Matthew and Madison, along with little sister Isabelle and all their cool socks, on Crazy Sock Day at school.

2. Politically CORRECT Halloween decorations near us here in Historic District Savannah.

As in 2020, our Southern state is again paramount in keeping our U.S. democracy alive.

3. Celebrating the wonder of a smile.

4. Fall doors in Savannah.

5. The setting sun. And knowing that it will rise again in the morn.

Wishing you a joyful day from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same.

So HR and I were on a morning walk today here in downtown Savannah near us and came across this cool holiday display …

“How cute,” I exclaimed. Until I realized that someone had actually CARVED THAT INCREDIBLE JACK-O’-LANTERN!

SERIOUSLY?

For the past 60 years, my jack-o’-lanterns have looked exactly the same.

Starting the process with grandsons Daniel and Gabriel … way back.
The end result with grandson Daniel … way back.
End result at grand twins Madison and Matthew’s school … way back.

On a pumpkin patch field trip with the grand twins.

Pumpkin Joy!

A Prolific Pumpkin Display

On a cool morning walk today, HR and I came upon this incredible fall pumpkin display outside a beautiful Savannah historic district townhome.

OK, maybe the shadows messed that photo up a bit.

Here’s more.

And more.

Seriously?

And look! Here’s HR claiming squatters rights.

October beauty and fun!

And here’s our sad, lone “punkin” …

But he’s a proud one.
