Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/18/24

Posted on October 18, 2024October 18, 2024 by Neal Saye

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Enjoying the cooler fall weather here in Savannah.

2. Speaking of cooler weather, HR driving us over to Tybee Island yesterday evening to see/experience the beautiful Hunter Moon rising “from” the Atlantic ocean.

Get ready. Here she comes!

3. After the Moon Spectacular, we headed to the very ocean-hip Sea Wolf Tybee bar and restaurant …

… for their gourmet hot dogs. I stayed seawater simple with their Classic dog …

While Robert (as usual) got all fancy with their Chicago dog.

For some reason, I ALWAYS have to look into the restrooms at quirky restaurants. Why? Their bathrooms often mirror the quirkiness of the rest of the place.

Sea Wolf certainly came through. When you close the bathroom door, there is a hot dog costume hanging there. (I wondered if anyone ever tried it on and sashayed back to their table.)

I didn’t look too closely at the bloody looking costume to hot dog’s right.

And look what we found out on the patio.

A hot dog wreath, of course.

And hats for witches.

Or warlocks.

OK, I really need to stop this Frankfurter Foolishness.

4. Robert’s monochromal kitty Benny.

5. And grandson Daniel in final rehearsals as young Shakespeare in the upcoming play Shakespeare in Love.

Hope you have a hotdog of a weekend ahead!

October!

I saw (and smelled) these aromatic beauties on a cool morning walk here in Historic District Savannah.

Follow Up to Monday Evening’s “The Older I Get” Blog Post

So the other night, I did a silly post about photographing older folks (“older folks” meaning me).

Here’s a link, in case you missed it:

Tonight, I am back in “My Square,” Washington Square, here in Historic District Savannah …

Reading …

And I thought, “Should I do another selfie tonight?“

I started …

“There we go,” I thought, “that angle meets the criteria.”

Then got a bit braver …

And only because fellow blogger buddy Matt VERY generously said my best feature was my smile …

It’s getting dark, so I should go in. HR will be ready for dinner soon.

May you have a Joyful and Peaceful Wednesday night.

“Cheesy”

My homemade mac and cheese with cheddar, gouda, mozzarella and cajun seasoning.

And here’s the recipe. I cut it in half but kept the full amount of Cajun seasoning (which I Googled and made homemade to avoid so much salt).

The Older I Get … #2

Posted on October 7, 2024October 9, 2024 by Neal Saye

… the more the concept of a good picture of myself changes.

This evening, for instance, I walked the block or so from our place here in Historic District Savannah to sit up on the bluff from the Savannah River and read.

OK, OK, maybe it’s not The Iliad. But it is a whole bunch of escapist fun.

For some inexplicable reason, I decided to take a selfie …

And there you go — an Older Age Portrait.

HAPPY MONDAY EVENING FROM SAVANNAH!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Our beautiful bride/neighbor Lexi kissing her groom outside the cookie store last week.

I imagine most folks don’t dress—or drive—that way going to pick up their chocolate chips.

2. The ability to laugh. And continuous reasons for that joyful ability.

What do you have to laugh about today?

3. Grandson Matthew and his Plant Cell School Project made out of household trash.

4. Going out into Washington Square near our place here in Historic District Savannah last evening to read, about 7 PM, and realizing, with the darkness, that it’s definitely getting later in the year.

Here’s my first attempt at the above photo. Photographer Hubby Robert could explain. But I can’t. But I still kinda like the result.

5. Art!

Colorful beauty at the Columbus (Georgia) Museum of Art last weekend.

May you have an artfully beautiful weekend ahead!

“Morning”

At Origin, one of our favorite coffee shops here in Savannah.

I felt guilty taking my first sip and messing up the artwork. (But not for long.)

Robert and …

“Robert and … #43”

Posted on September 30, 2024October 1, 2024 by Neal Saye

A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.

So because of Hurricane Helene and NO POWER, Robert and I had to get outta Dodge (well, Savannah). So we hightailed it over to Columbus, Georgia, where younger daughter Emily lives.

Before going over to visit (and bother) Emily, we drove to downtown Columbus and the Chattahoochee River to see what we heard was “a tumultuous scene.” This “scene” was caused by the city having to open the floodgates to relieve the pressure, so as to avert further dangerous flooding in the Columbus area.

“Open the floodgates?” Perhaps you didn’t know Columbus had a dam. (Yes I said the word … “dam”— alternate spelling, “damn.”)

OK, enough of this silly rigamarole.

Here’s a short film, entitled “The Two R’s – the Damn River and Robert” …

As you can probably tell, Robert had no idea I was producing this award-winning film.

But there he is, in a rather proud posture.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Thankful that here in Savannah we made it through Hurricane Helene safely. Even though our power is off and tree branches are seemingly everywhere.
