This morn, before the rooster began to crow …
… Robert and I headed to the Savannah Amtrak Station to board a train (a 12-hour train!) to Miami to celebrate HR’s bday. He has been wanting to take a longer train trip for a while now.
What a fun day!
Our little private “roomette.”
Surprisingly, delicious breakfast in the dining car:
A long day, but wonderful service and very comfortable accommodations.
More about our Miami trip tomorrow. We are here till Sunday,
Real Feel of 102 here in Savannah?!
I am Happy to see that not all U.S. businesses and institutions have fallen in line with the Trump administration’s hateful, anti-LGBTQ fear tactics.
Walking into Kroger this morning:
And our local library …
Yesterday Robert and I joined 2000 other Savannah area protesters to voice a resounding “No!” to the Trump administration’s lean toward authoritarianism and strong man politics which are attempting to destroy our nation’s soul.
Inspiring and encouraging speeches, lively posters and joyful camaraderie/solidarity.
From our mayor …
And this poster expressed part of the reason I attended this incredible event …
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. LOVE-ly coffee.
2. Watching (spying on?) and documenting my Handsome Hubby, as he walks toward our little car heading to an appointment.
3. Spices! Robert and I love them.
Our spice drawer ..
Our spice shelf …
Our Spice Club! …
Once a month or so, our local library offers patrons a new spice, along with an explanation and several recipes. This month is a spice I have never heard about before: Summer Savory.
“Summer savory, Satureja hortensis, is a sweet- and spicy-smelling herb, lighter in flavor than winter savory. It is a member of the Lamiaceae, or mint family, and is indigenous to the Mediterranean region. It is also closely related to rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, and mar-joram. Summer savory had both culinary and medicinal uses in ancient Greece and Rome.” Bull Street Library Spice Club
4. The amazing ability to simply Pay Attention. (That trait is sometimes a bit of a challenge for me and my “all over the map” brain.)
5. I SO appreciate the theme of this year’s Pride Festival in Atlanta.
May we all have a weekend where, even on the most minute of levels, we Realize that we can Resist that which attempts to damage our lives.
