Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/24/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. My rainbow!
We are back for a couple of weeks in Ponte Vedra Beach. Each afternoon follows a pre-determined set of events. Around three or four, dark clouds make their way above the surf directly in front our balcony. Then a pretty rainbow (sometimes two!) appear in front of us.
Thank you, Universe, for your spectacular show! And for my Mr. Rainbow.
2. One of the bathrooms in the condo where we are staying/freeloading …
I love the driftwoody mirror.
3. Sunshine!
4. Little Free Libraries. Even at the beach!
5. Sea shells.
May beauty surround you this weekend.
Sometime
Sometime all you need is a change of scenery …
Robert and I are back down in Ponte Vedra, Florida at the oceanfront condo my daughter is renting for six months, as she contemplates expanding her medical business down here. So of course we find ways to finagle our way here as often as possible.
I swim 20 lamps each morn at 7:30 before the sun becomes a broiler.
This summer, I am attempting to write a memoir about the challenge of “marrying” my previous straight life (to Donna) and my current gay life (with Robert). And what a challenge!
Here’s my sunny study in the condo where I’m attempting to write …
As I sit in that wicker chair, some days I realize that we’re all writing our memoirs, day by day and year by year.
I hope your story is filled with an Abundance of Good.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. Fresh, local summer sweet corn!
2. Grandson Daniel (having recently finished his freshman year at Shenandoah Conservatory/Musical Theatre), waiting with MANY others at an open call on Broadway.
He didn’t get a callback but felt he sang well and had a great experience.
3. The ability to hear!
4. These roses in our bathroom window.
5. Enjoying these gigantic inflatables outside the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
HAPPY WEEKEND!

My Saturday Evening Post: 7/11/26 “No Commercials”
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.
