Five Friday Happy Bringers 4/25/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Heavenly smelling Strawberry Blossoms and Fruit on a visit to Sonrise Farms near Dublin GA.
2. Reflection
3. The ability to walk up a staircase and to walk down a staircase. (Though it’s getting to be more of a challenge these days with my creaky knees.)
4. Grandson Daniel‘s 18th birthday dance at Miyabi’s Kyoto Steak House here in Savannah.
(You can hear Robert in the background, egging Daniel on.)
5. The amazing spectacle I often see when I step out my front door here in historic district Savannah, a few blocks from the Savannah River …
… and pause before I head to wherever I’m going … to take in a gargantuan cargo ship heading to the Savannah port.
The purple through the oak trees? That’s a cargo ship!
I hope this weekend brings you a Cargo of Good.

PINE-ing
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 4/21/25
I’m Marveling this Monday Morn at last night’s Marvelous Easter Supper.
Chef Robert made a scrumptious dinner of beautiful lamb steaks, chopped asparagus, gnocchi (potato dumplings) and a savory herb gremolata sauce.
I had not heard of gremolata before, but Google came to the rescue. “Gremolata is an herb condiment classically made from parsley, lemon zest and finely chopped garlic.”
Beyond Delicious!
TIB (Truth in Blogging): Shockingly, HR did not make this MARVEL-ous meal from scratch.
Do you know about these meal kits from The Fresh Market? We have tried half a dozen of them so far and loved them all.
We have also gotten to know the delightful butcher Elise at our Savannah Fresh Market. She puts the meal kits together. When Robert showed her the kit he chose for our Easter Supper, Elise took the kit from his hands and replaced it with larger lamb steaks. (Get to know your butcher!)

Five Friday Happy Bringers 4/18/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Brilliant red blooms of the Fire Lily in a yard near us.
2. Enjoying a delicious and educational olive oil tasting at Woodpecker Trail Olive Farm near Glenville GA.
3. Making a very yummy Strawberry Pear Pie with fresh-picked strawberries from Sonrise Farms near Dublin GA.
4. Our skin, which wraps us up so lovingly.
5. This beautifully quirky little pillow on the couch in the waiting area at my therapist’s office.
(I wonder if it was strategically placed there to somehow assess or affect our mental health.)
May you have a Healthy Weekend ahead – mentally and otherwise!

“PEACE”
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if PEACE could somehow start to bloom in our troubled world?

My Saturday Evening Post: 4/12/25 “Night Light Life”
Robert and I were walking through Telfair Square here in Savannah last night after dinner. The statue-laden Telfair Academy (the first public art museum in the South, 1888) shone incandescently, perhaps a bit eerily, exuding both pride and remorse in our city’s problematic past.
I paused and gazed up into the heavy, meandering limbs of the ancient Live Oak trees, limbs laden with both desiccated (for now) resurrection fern and new, brilliant green spring leaves.
Death and life together.
The street light could not illuminate all their crevices.
“Some of these trees have to be older than the academy itself,” I thought, as we walked out of the past. “If only trees could talk!”
A light breeze kneaded the old and the new together, causing an audible whispering in the leaves.
And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.
