My husband and my grandtwins Matthew and Madison back in 2015.

Leftovers
Robert and I have been enjoying (well, mostly) leftovers from our Thanksgiving family gathering. He likes the turkey heated up, while I prefer it cold (#152 on our list of differences).
The green bean casserole and sweet potato pie may be reduced to near crumbs in our fridge, but not the memories of the fun and laughter from Thanksgiving Day.
Here are a few leftover smiles and laughs.
Leftovers can be deliciously fulfilling.
Throwback Thursday: “Grandtwin”
With grandtwin Matthew a decade ago …
Matthew today with his sisters …
Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/21/22
1. The fact that most of the disagreements between Robert and me are of a minor variety. Such as “how to have” tuna salad for lunch. He likes to get all carbohydrate-y with bread …
While I, more superiorly, (is that a word?) skillfully position the tuna, tilting rather Cirque de Soleil-ishly, on a bed of lettuce and tomato …
Okay, maybe his looks a little better. From the side.
2. Last night watching Grandson Daniel beautifully yet harrowingly perform perhaps his most serious role yet—Buddy Layman, a depression-era autistic teen with the ability to find water, in Jim Leonard’s The Diviners.
The full cast …
Not-so-happy ending …
3. Chrysanthemums in Savannah.
near us on Columbia Square
4. Shrimp.
5. The word “healthy” in all its various meanings.
I hope you have a healthy and restful weekend ahead.
Shhh … Silent Sunday 9/18/22
Five Friday Happy Bringers 9/16/22
1. Having lunch with our grandtwins at their new school for this year.
2. Slightly cooler mornings and evenings here in Savannah (in the 70’s), making our walks much more doable.
3. An alternative definition of “Pro-Life.”
On the bulletin board at our local health food store.
4. Reverent Dusk.
The spires of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist near us on our evening walk last night.
5. Having Tybee Island (Savannah’s beach) just down the road from us.
I hope your weekend is filled with treasures.
Throwback Thursday: “$19.99”
Being silly with grandson Gabriel back in 2010 when we were shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Gabriel today …
One of the joys of being a grandparent is that you can just do absolutely crazy things and get away with it.
Pre-K is A-Okay!
Today was granddaughter Isabelle‘s first day of pre-K.
Isabelle’s expression … “I’m not so sure about this school thing.“
A great first day of school! So much to learn. So much to do.
Throwback Thursday: “Get In or Get Out!”
So last night I was scrolling though my 25,557 photos (seriously?!) in the “Recents” section of my iPhone. (Recent?!)
And l came across a short series of silly pictures.
It all started when I was grandtwin-sitting Matthew and Madison. (Circa 2013. They were about one at the time.)
They seemed a little bored. Staring out the window, obviously looking for greener pastures.
I really knew something had gone awry when Matthew started chewing on my shoe strings.
So I came up with a solution to the babysitting challenge. And I’m sure you probably do this too: when all else fails, sit the little ones in containers. Yes? I thought so.
See? Right?
I decided that I would join the fun … until I realized i couldn’t.
Matthew: “Let’s just look out that window again.”
The twins today and their end-of-the-year school awards ceremony …
