Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/13/23

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

Happy Beautifully Lucky Friday the 13th!

1. A couple of Fall Doors near us …

2. HR and me (I?) shopping at Herb Creek Nursery here in Savannah.

For some reason, Robert decided to pose all uppity. Like he created those plants.

3. The delicious simplicity of pasta sauce …

4. Our toes!

Look down and thank them real quick.

5. Incredible books!

May this weekend be a Garden of Joy for you!

“Yolking It”

So here’s a little shot of a corner of our kitchen. Our trio basket of perishables. Some of our cook books. A few spices.

But wait, before you move on, take a moment to look back up in the upper left hand corner of the photo.

See them? Two little chicken heads.

When both of them transitioned to our home via Amazon, I had no idea what they were.

But Robert had … adopted them.

I endured their relentless clucking for several days until I finally confronted HR and asked him, “Why? What?”

Unfazed by my frustrated confusion, he simply directed me to look at their mouths

“Oh … kay…” I answered, still not understanding.

“Neal, you crack an egg into the crown of the cute little dish. Then you tilt it forward and only the egg white pours out of the mouth!!!

He explained this with absolute thrill.

I stared at him, dumbfounded.

“But I just crack the egg and pour out the white carefully, “I replied.

Robert just stared back.
