“Straws”


Robert and I were at the Hinesville GA Library yesterday, and I came upon this little poster.

BOOKS! What a Blessing. What would we do without them?
The book I’m currently reading …

The book Robert and I are currently reading together …

And that’s My Saturday Evening Post.

1. Healthy smoothies.

2. The colors of summer.

3. The never-changing truth of Henry David Thoreau.



4. Our legs. And the ability to use them.
5. Robert cool beach hat.

May you be cool, both figuratively and literally, this weekend.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. Incredible Spanish and Cuban food at Columbia Restaurant in St. Augustine FL


I first discovered this gem, decades ago, at the original Columbia (which has Flamenco dancers!) in Ybor City (Tampa)

2. A week at the beach. Ponte Vedra FL.




3. The ability to feel at peace with the world (occasionally).
4. A big jacuzzi bathtub.

5. Fresh fish from a seafood market.







I was thrilled to find beautiful heirloom tomatoes today at our favorite produce stand here in Savannah, David Produce.


As the photo above suggests, I LOVE tomatoes!
So what should I do with this beauty?
Since we had our traditional holiday hotdog for lunch …

… I decided to tackle something a little different for dinner.


It was delicious!

And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.


Yesterday, Robert and I spent a delightful couple of hours at the First Coast Cultural Arts Center here in Ponte Vedra FL where we are staying for a week.
We went specifically to see Liz Canali’s work: she creates incredibly beautiful felt sculptures and felt “paintings.”





I LOVE Liz’s horses!



Truly enchanting. Thanks, Liz.
We loved her work so much, we walked away with one of her felt lamps.


Marveling, for sure.

Robert got up at 6:12 this morning to photograph the sun rising on the Atlantic here at Ponte Vedra Florida, where we are staying for a week.


I woke up about 30 minutes later.

Now we’re sitting on the balcony, drinks in hand, gazing at the full moon.
