Someone Felt I …

Pulling up to the gas pump at Kroger this morning, I got out of the car …

Walked closer to the pump …

Closer still …

A tad closer …

And I saw Him/Them …

Someone felt I needed … a little Jesus.

I agreed. So I filled up my tank — and walked away with Him.

Bathroom Basking

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.

Fall greens

Yum times 100.

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 …

merriam-webster.com

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.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/3/25

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:
