Robert and I had a lovely hour perusing a new exhibit, “A Measure of Time,” at our local Savannah Jepson Center for the Arts.
Gloriously colorful, geometric shapes everywhere!
HR trying (unsuccessfully) to blend in.
2. The ongoing belief that our bodies know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.
3. Colorful carrots!
I made a delicious new dish, Maple Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Fennel Seeds, with some of them.
4. Our “Travel Buddies.” Have I told you about them? Three silly little stuffed animals HR and I have given each other over the years. But they travel with us EVERYWHERE we go.
I’ll do a blog post about some of their adventures soon.
(Okay, maybe HR and I are just standing lazily in a pool )
But look! Here I am doing a handstand … at %!^&*$ years of age …
3. Joyful birthday celebration with grandtwins Matthew and Madison.
And princess tenting with their little sister, Isabelle.
(It took me twenty minutes to get outta there.)
4. Making a Collard Casserole. (Yes, you heard that right.)
No collard leaf is an ugly colored leaf!
He’s just a little worn and brown at the edges. (Like me.)
YUM!
5. Grandson Daniel at his “Last First Day of School.” He’s a senior at Savannah Country Day.
They have this tradition with the seniors driving onto campus while parents, grandparents, siblings, strangers, etc. yell and act foolish, waving posters and big head pictures.
Here comes D …
And here is D’s adoring crew:
(Our pic made it onto the school’s website)
Daniel is in the white t-shirt, leaning toward his mom and girlfriend.
Huh? What do you mean you can’t see Robert and me?
We’re sorta under the poster that screams “Daniel” (which I made, Thank You.)
But wait, here we are in clearer view …
See us? To the left of the Daniel sign.
Wait again, this is supposed to be about Daniel.
Did I just hear someone ask to see my award-winning poster in a close-up? Okay, here you go …
From some of these photos, you may see that D is a local actor.
2. Being married to a gay man who likes cut flowers… THROUGHOUT the house.
Today, for example …
That’s a much younger HR above the flowers and now-deceased, beloved kitty Bloopers below.
3. The incredible gift of being able to see. To open my eyes each morning, look around and actually see! What a joy.
4. Celebrating a month, dedicated to our mental health.
And for anyone who is interested, here’s a link to my “Protocol for Anxiety.” As many folks do, I deal with Generalized Anxiety Disorder from time to time. These strategies help.
One of the joys of living in downtown historic district Savannah is that the walks NEVER get old. And are ongoingly (Is that a word?) beautiful.
The other day, Robert had a chiropractor appointment nearby, so I went with him, but then took the opportunity to walk around that particular little neighborhood.
Here’s a sampling of what I saw.
Jasmine is everywhere this spring!
My favorite house I came across:
And look at its side yard!
And this is in a very urban, tightly packed cityscape.
And here’s a little place, still with a bit of character.
