My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Robert’s preposterously delicious beef pot pie from the other night.
2. Our buddy and theology student August and his beautiful black shawl.
3. The belief that our nation is strong enough to withstand the right (and left) extremists.
4. Attending the surprise 70th birthday party at Midtown Sports for buddy “Fluff.”
5. Balanced rest.
May your weekend ahead be exactly what you want it to be.
“Big-headed”
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Finishing with Robert perhaps one of the top three novels we’ve read together in the last ten years …
Oh my goodness, it’s hilarious, heartwarming, heartbreaking, a mystery, a treatise on our economy and banking system, a love story/love stories, an examination of the inevitably difficult dynamics of family. And a book FULL of surprises. I did not want it to end. I miss the characters. I highly recommend it!
What a joy to read a good book.
2. The 2023 Savannah Music Festival.
What a treat! Last night Robert and I went to a bluegrass event with incredible banjoes, fiddles and guitars.
(Just so you know, I played trombone in high school. Okay, I was 3rd chair. And I really never managed to march on the football field and play my instrument at the same time. But still.)
3. Air. Oxygen. Breath.
4. HR finally learning how to photograph me now that I’m 71.
5. This morning walking past my favorite old Savannah mansion which faces Forsyth Park.
May your weekend’s peace and joy be of mansion proportions.
So HR and I went to a new little cafe near us for lunch today.
It was raining, so we went inside.
Delicious sandwiches
But what warmed my heart the most was the little sign as we entered …
I’M SPECIAL!
YOU ARE TOO!
This morning Greene Square near us here in Historic District Savannah hosted the annual Spring Equinox Brunch. Glorious!
Oh my gosh. Such springtime fun as we proclaimed a hearty “Salut!” to Spring 2023.
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
Robert and … Spring Wisteria in Savannah.
I love the truth of this quotation I saw on a fellow blogger’s post recently …
Because sometimes I think breathing may be the most significant thing I do during the day.
So as some of you know, if you follow my blog, HR’s (Husband Robert’s) older cat Boopers passed away recently.
It was a tough transition for Robert.
Boopers’ “brother” Benny has also had a difficult time adjusting to life without Boopers. Especially at night. They often slept together.
So Robert recently ordered a HuggieKitty … “companion” for Benny.
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THESE THINGS?!
HuggieKitty has a heartbeat!
HuggieKitty can purr!
HuggieKitty even has an insertable heat pack to simulate body warmth!
My first thought when HuggieKitty arrived:
“Robert, do you really think Benny is stupid enough to think that is a real cat?! He is much smarter than that. He will have NOTHING to do with … HuggieKitty“
OKAY
P.S. I have ordered a HuggieKitty for myself in case Robert gets a job as a night watchman, or something.
