Shhh … Silent Sunday. 6/2/24
Five Friday Happy Bringers 5/31/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Attending The Annual Memorial Day Garden Party at friends Pat and Mary Prokops’s lovely Savannah home. Pat is retired now but was a longtime popular meteorologist on a local Savannah station.
2. Driving up to Atlanta for a Braves game.
And getting famous ….
3. The blessing/luxury of having a car. Everybody doesn’t.
4. Fresh vegetables from our favorite Savannah produce stand.
5. Good advice for National Mental Health Awareness month.
May you have a Wonderfully Healthy Weekend ahead!
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 5/20/24 “Hello Hy”
MARVELING!
The incredibly aromatic blossoms of Jasmine are beginning to say their goodbyes here in historic district Savannah.
I will miss them sorely, although their stalwart greenery will stay to keep guard.
Awakening me from my sadness and reminding me that all is not forlorn, along comes Hydrangea, seemingly popping up everywhere I walk, especially this cool Monday morning.
My Saturday Evening Post: 5/11/24 “Walking”
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.
My favorite house I came across:
And look at its side yard!
And here’s a little place, still with a bit of character.
Okay, HR’s finished. Gotta go.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 4/5/24.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. HR and I attending a very cool “high tea” here in Savannah with daughter Amy and ex-wife Donna.
2. Wisteria in Savannah!
Can you smell it?!
3. Being able (at least occasionally) to “let things go.”
4. On our recent trip to Baltimore, Robert being reunited with some of his artwork from his childhood.
No, no, don’t try to buy it. It’s priceless!
5. Deviled eggs.
May your weekend smell better than wisteria and taste better than deviled eggs!
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 4/1/24 “Hodgepodge”
Marveling this Monday morning, as I scroll through a hodgepodge of photos from our Baltimore trip last week.
NATURE
ART
Even our cutlery at lunch in the Mount Vernon section of Baltimore was sort of artsy.
I believe that if we attend to our lives carefully, we will see much to cause us to pause and MARVEL.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 3/29/24. “Baltimore Edition”
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
For quite a while, Robert and I have been planning a trip up to Baltimore to visit a handful of his aging aunts and other relatives in the city and surrounding area.
Our early morning flight from Savannah landed in the Baltimore/Washington International Airport about 9 am this past Tuesday. What a shock it was to us when we turned our phones back on to see the horrorific news about the disaster of the Francis Scott Key Bridge about 15 miles away. And as we found out later, six workers were missing and presumed dead.
1. Ironically enough, first on our agenda before we checked into our Airbnb later in the day was to visit the gravesites of Robert’s mother in Maryland National Memorial Park …
And his father and stepmom in Arbutus Cemetery …
2. We LOVED going back to our favorite Baltimore crab cake restaurant, G and M.
3. Reveling in the ravishing Baltimore daffodils.
Here’s a fascinating little independent film I produced, wrote and directed titled “Daffodil Hunching.” (Watch carefully for my guest star.)
4. Seeing the beauty and truth of this Ukrainian Catholic Church across from Patterson Park in Baltimore.
5. Finding the coolest Free Little Library.
And three books!
I hope you’ve had a Good Good Friday and will enjoy a Great Easter Weekend ahead.

They are simply breathtaking this spring!
