Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/17/26

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!

Signature 1905 Salad, Crab Cakes de Cangrejo, Empanadas de Picadillo

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.

My Saturday Evening Post: 7/4/26 “What To Do with a Perfect Tomato on the Forth of July”

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.

Tomato toast!

It was delicious!

And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.

One Word Wednesday 6/1/26

“Enchanting”

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!

“Walking Away”

Truly enchanting. Thanks, Liz.

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