I might have gotten the Cool Card …
… but I know who HR’s True Valentine is …

My Saturday Evening Post: 2/1/25 “Expresso Cat. Fox?”
So tonight, I made Espresso Martinis for Robert and me.
I settled on the couch, and kitty cat Benny jumped into my lap.
Okay, “Rest little one.”
But then, lo and behold, a FOX jumped into my (beautiful) martini glass …
We talked a while.
Then somehow, he disappeared.
And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.
Sunday Evening Snow. At Least a Little Bit.
Grandson Daniel, along with his mom, are up in New York this weekend for more musical theater auditions for college next year.
After auditioning for NYU, Juilliard and Pace, their flight back to Savannah got canceled tonight because of winter weather.
So what to do?
Run outside and try to grab a snowflake or two, of course.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 1/17/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Squirrels in our living room!
HR’s nickname is Squirrel.
2. The beauty of aging wood.
3. Clean water to drink. I SO take this incredible blessing for granted.
4. Our wonderful morning hike yesterday at J. F. Gregory Park down in Richmond Hill, about 45 minutes south of Savannah.
The park is home to a huge series of canals built in the 1800s (by enslaved persons) for rice cultivation. The canals flow into the Oveechee River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
5. Flowers. We usually buy an inexpensive bouquet or two each week, divide them up and spread them around the house.
Flowers, like food, are essential to life.
May this weekend flower you with joy. At least, a little bit.
Christmas Morning Walk in Savannah
After we gobbled down our Christmas Toast, searched through our Christmas Stockings …
… and opened our Christmas Gifts …
Robert and I headed out for our Christmas Morning Walk here in Historic District Savannah.
Festive beauty had us marveling.
Now, that’s a bow!
Joyful Christmas Season to You!
You’re Never Too Old
Merriest of Christmases to You!
Peaceful Christmas Eve To You All
I have shared this little virtual Christmas card on my blog before (I received it from a dear sweet friend several years ago), but it is just so very meditatively “Christmas Eve Simple Peaceful” that I thought I would post it again.
Bethlehem‘s in sight!
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 12/23/24 “It’s Chili in Savannah!”
This morning, I am marveling at the memory of my Christmas Chili yesterday for Sunday Brunch.
It was just SO good!
With my Jalapeño Cornbread as supporting actor.
Boiling Joy
Tonight Robert and I started what we hope will become an annual holiday tradition: Having a Low Country Boil as a festive meal during the Christmas season.
What? You don’t know what I’m talking about?
“A low country boil is a beloved Southern dish with roots deeply embedded in the coastal regions of South Carolina and Georgia. This communal feast brings together a mix of seafood, sausage, potatoes, and corn, simmered together in a flavorful broth.” Alaskankingcrab.com
A Thousand “Yums”!
