Left Behind

It’s hard to believe that a week ago Savannah was COVERED in snow and ice.

Quite the rarity.

But it’s 70° now, and I just finished a delightful afternoon walk.

But as I was traversing a particularly shady area, LO AND BEHOLD, look what I saw!

A gigantic Snow Frog leaping from the Monkey Grass onto the sidewalk directly in front of me.

I started to question his pedestrian sensibilities, but then decided against it.

I wanted to give him a little more precious time to get to wherever he was going.

“The Artful Dodger“ #24

A blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations.

So I walked into the kitchen after Robert had been in there grabbing some grapes from the fridge.

I looked on the counter and saw this …

I started to get a tad irritated until my SAE (superior artistic eye) suddenly saw a work of art!

It is kinda pretty, isn’t it?

My Saturday Evening Post: 1/11/25 “The Highest Bidder?”

So back in 1985 I started saving my yearly/monthly calendars.

I’m not sure why.

So that makes … what? Forty years in 2025.

I suppose it started out as just a way to remember birthdays, appointments, to do’s and other important (or unimportant) dates I was prone to forget. This was before the days of “Siri, remind me ….”

But it morphed into jottings of my hopes and dreams, my frustrations, my successes, my problems, my New Year’s Resolutions (difficult to look back over today), my very … non-Facebook life.

As I skim through the pages of years/years of pages, I see emerging themes: family, children, travel, career, wife, ex-wife, coming out, husband, grandchildren, parental deaths, medical issues, joy, sorrow … Life.

I’m not sure what to do with them. Leave them to my daughters? Burn them?

The National Enquirer? People Magazine? The highest bidder?

Here’s to my new calendar for 2025 and whatever it may bring.

May your 2025 calendar be filled with Good.

And that’s my Saturday Evening Post. 1/11/2025.
