Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/3/25

Posted on by Neal Saye

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. A reminder of childhood as I walked through Savannah‘s Ardsley Park neighborhood.

2. The joy of grandchildren this week.

Madison (blonde, lower right) singing a duet at a school choral event.

Gabriel getting his driver’s license.

3. Putting my head on my pillow in my bed each night. And realizing what a tremendous blessing that simple act really is.

4. Seeing this silly little whatever-it-is in a bathroom. 

5. Getting a HUGE flower arrangement after having some minimally invasive back surgery recently. 

May you have a Huge Blossom of Happiness this weekend.

You Know You’re Getting Older …

… when your daughter asks you to pose AS A SENIOR CITIZEN for some “professional photos” for new advertising for the Savannah medical company she founded and runs, Coastal Care Partners.

Me posing with one of Amy’s doctors, orthopedist Dr. Brandon, pretending to be happy about my (real) arthritic knee pain.

And look (!), here I am with a very cool home caregiver, again smiling, although I’m apparently old and bedridden.

It took all my acting chops to pull off such a difficult and challenging role.

Here’a a link to Amy’s very cool business website:

“Mugs”

Like my somewhat odd obsession with colorful paper napkins (reminder: speak with therapist about this), I also love another kitchen item — the humble mug or cup.

For some reason (therapist note #2), I find mugs and cups comforting, substantial and grounding, especially when filled early morn with coffee and half and half, or if I’m in a adventurous mood, heavy cream.

Here a few more of my mugshots.

I asked Google AI about the difference between a mug and a cup, but I’m not sure she (?) he (?) got it quite right:

“A mug is a type of large, durable cup with a handle, used for hot drinks and without a saucer, while a cup is a smaller, more general-purpose drinking vessel, often more delicate, and might or might not have a handle or saucer. Mugs are designed for casual, everyday use with heartier beverages like lattes or hot chocolate, whereas cups are often favored for more formal settings with drinks like tea or coffee.”

But okay, whatever. I like them both.

And look, here’s one without a handle!

HR and a few mugcups …

Well, that’s about enough mugginess for one post.

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 8/25/25

Both moaning and marveling a bit this Monday.

Robert and I are grandson-, doggie- and house-sitting for Daughter Amy and Scott while they take Grandson Daniel off to his freshman year of college.

One of the duties is taking Coastal for walks.

And even though it’s less than a month from the beginning of fall, it’s still HOT here in Savannah — 88 with a real feel of 96 this afternoon.

So here I am walking Coastal this afternoon – Senior Citizen Edition.

Afterwards …
