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.

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

(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!

Happy Pride Month 2023! “Is Your Dog Gay?”

Posted on June 29, 2023June 29, 2023 by Neal Saye

So Robert and I were walking around in Pet Smart today, minding our own business, when we came upon this …

Seriously? Gay trappings for your pet?

My first reaction was “Oh, how cute!”

My second was “Big business, marketing whatever can sale.“

A gay lizard and a gay gerbil, obviously.

Then my gay husband put it all into perspective …

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Getting all cultured, attending the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s 2023 Season Finale with incredible first-year-in-Atlanta conductor Nathalie Stutzmann.

“Bolero” was stunningly, movingly beautiful.

2. Fresh farm peaches from Ellijay, GA. Sweet and juicy (sorta like “Bolero”)!

3. Being thankful for my eyesight.

4. Seeing the world premiere of circus-based musical “Water for Elephants” at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta. I loved the novel and was uber excited to hear that it was coming out as a play.

5. Celebrating Robert’s birthday (the young upstart) at Truva, a terrific little Turkish restaurant in the hip Virginia Highland neighborhood near Midtown Atlanta.
