Halloween – NealEnJoy

Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/31/25

Posted on October 31, 2025 by Neal Saye

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Making our annual ofrenda (altar) for Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), celebrating our loved ones who have passed on before us.

2. Halloween coffee this morning at one of our favorite coffee bars here in Savannah, Origin.

And the baristas who made them …

Robert has (dis)ability to have complete strangers line up for photos sessions.

3. The fortitude to laugh and savor the moment, even in the midst of our current political climate.

4. The Halloween morning light teasing our steep 1840’s stairs.

5. Cool Halloween decorations here in Savannah.

May your Halloween Weekend be filled with Good Spirits.

“Swinging”

Bathroom Basking

Posted on October 18, 2025 by Neal Saye

A blog category about finding “interesting decor” in various bathrooms I’ve come across.

So yesterday, Robert and I drove over to Bluffton, South Carolina to attend my daughter Amy’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for expansion of her Savannah- based medical company, Coastal Care Partners.

Afterwards, we had lunch at our VERY favorite fried chicken restaurant on the planet, Cahill’s Market and Chicken Kitchen. (I love its name.)

Cahill’s is a working farm.

At my age, I always pay careful attention to the whereabouts of the nearest restroom.

Restroom? Do you really rest in a restroom?

And here are a few other synonyms for restroom …

Bog?! Jakes?!

Anyway, before leaving Cahill’s and driving back to Savannah, of course I had to visit the, the … garderobe.

And look what I Halloween-y found!

Chicken made out of beer bottle caps. And why wouldn’t you?

I left the, the … watercloset, relieved and in a bit more of the upcoming holiday spirit.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Grandchildren Trick or Treating last night …

Or going to their first high school homecoming game and dance …

2. Our Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) celebration and meal today.

Robert and I were especially celebrating the lives of our parents.

Black eyed peas and hog jowls (one of my folks’ favorite dishes). With ultimate lump crab cakes (one of Baltimore HR’s folks’ fav).

3. Memories.

4. These incredible lacquered flower pumpkins in front of a Savannah Historic District home near us.

Look!

5. Incredibly good-smelling fall candles.

May you “fall” into a great weekend ahead.

Holiday Joy

Happiest of Halloweens, 2024!

Halloween-ing on my morning walk here in Historic District Savannah.

I love this little house …

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. HR and me, having a neat little before-it-gets-cold picnic at nearby Forsyth Park here in Savannah.

2. And me becoming the official spokesperson for Lays.

3. Celebrating Day of the Dead at our church and at home.

Our friend Ruthie, who grew up in Mexico, explaining Dia de los Muertos.

4. Clean running water day after day after day.

5. Grandson Daniel and his actor bundies dressing up for Halloween as Taylor Swift’s Exes.

May you dress up as a Joyful You this weekend.

Did you see this breaking news?

Yes! Wonderful!

Here are a few pics from my marriage ceremony with Robert back in 2016.

Beautiful memories. And now it seems that our marriage will be protected.

**************

P.S. But WHY, tell me why, would 36 Republican senators vote AGAINST codifying gay marriage? Against Robert and me being married? What is their reasoning?
