Five Friday Happy Bringers 5/16/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

(A Day Late)

1. Our Travel Buddies. Have I told you about them?

These three little fellows go with us on our every little excursion. And get prominently displayed (by HR).

3. The precious ability to cry.

4. Remembering our daily fire up in the north Georgia mountains last weekend, where the lows were in the 50’s and highs in the upper 60’s.

The five day weather forecast for here in Savannah …

5. On a walk this morning, coming across this (somehow) discarded photo on the sidewalk.

May her little life be filled with joy.

And may your weekend be a Photograph of Beauty.

A fire and s’mores on this chilly Sunday afternoon in a cabin in the north Georgia mountains.

Want one?

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. HR’s cute Star Wars excitement.

2. Finding Benny and best buddy Huggy Kitty still fast asleep when I walked into the living room at about 6 am the other morning.

Just in case you want to know more about Huggy Kitty, here’s a previous post that explains, in far too much detail …

Hello HuggieKitty

3. Being able to go to the grocery store and buy food. What a blessing.

4. Our new buddy Greenie, who has taken up residence in our Potted Plant Garden in front of our apartment.

No, no, that’s not part of Greenies‘s body. Here he is, truthfully exposed.

5. Continuing today’s animal theme, this friendly blackbird (grackle?) I had a little conversation with the other day.

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 5/5/25

I’m Marveling this Monday Morn remembering our hike the other day at Skidaway Island State Park near us.

We saw our first alligator of the season. He (she?) was a young one. So we didn’t hang out around too long because Mama was probably somewhere close.

“Alligators are common in Savannah, as the area provides a suitable habitat for the species with its mix of freshwater and saltwater environments, as well as abundant prey. Alligators are found in many of the waterways and marshes surrounding Savannah, including the Savannah River and Skidaway Island.” savannahproper.com

Robert and I have learned to respect the large alligator population here in Coastal Georgia. They are not aggressive and will generally leave people alone, as long as we keep our distance (especially while walking a dog) and refrain from feeding them.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Sweet Tea, or as Dolly Parton calls it in Steel Magnolias, “the Champagne of the South.”

2. Walking by this “wall of green” covering a building near us here in historic district Savannah.

If you look closely, you can spot HR meandering in the lane.

3. Toenail clippers.

4. The absolute, joyful contentment that kitty cat Benny finds in (literally in) cardboard boxes.

5. Grandson, Daniel and his “Senior Bike Ride” this morning at his school.

On the last day of school (for seniors), Country Day has this tradition for their soon-to-be graduates to ride bicycles onto campus, where they are over-enthusiastically greeted by their families and loved ones, holding up posters and pictures and joyfully cheering (probably because those soon-to-be graduates will also soon be leaving home).
