Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/23/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
- Robert and I had a lovely hour perusing a new exhibit, “A Measure of Time,” at our local Savannah Jepson Center for the Arts.
Gloriously colorful, geometric shapes everywhere!
2. The ongoing belief that our bodies know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.
3. Colorful carrots!
I made a delicious new dish, Maple Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Fennel Seeds, with some of them.
4. Our “Travel Buddies.” Have I told you about them? Three silly little stuffed animals HR and I have given each other over the years. But they travel with us EVERYWHERE we go.
I’ll do a blog post about some of their adventures soon.
5. Friday!
Joyful weekend ahead for you!
One-Word Wednesday: 8/21/24
“LOVE”
And HR’s coffee …
Sending LOVE your way. 
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 8/19/24 “BP!”
I’m MARVELING this morning. Let me explain.
So HR has NEVER had a WARM (important adjective) HOMEMADE (second important adjective) BANANA PUDDING!
I felt so sorry for Robert’s culinarily sad deprivation that I got straight to work.
Of course he had to put his two cents in, asking for (demanding) Chessmen Butter cookies in addition to classic vanilla wafers …
… which made me a little mad, but good husband that I am, I plowed ahead.
Before the oven …
And now for the meringue …
For some inexplicable reason, HR decided to video me spreading the meringue …
Wasn’t that riveting?
Now wait with me for 15 minutes till the peaks brown.
Ta Da!
MARVELous!
Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/16/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Flowers in our … bathroom.
What better place?
2. Swimming with my fellow.
(Okay, maybe HR and I are just standing lazily in a pool )
But look! Here I am doing a handstand … at %!^&*$ years of age …
3. Joyful birthday celebration with grandtwins Matthew and Madison.
And princess tenting with their little sister, Isabelle.
(It took me twenty minutes to get outta there.)
4. Making a Collard Casserole. (Yes, you heard that right.)
No collard leaf is an ugly colored leaf!
He’s just a little worn and brown at the edges. (Like me.)
5. Grandson Daniel at his “Last First Day of School.” He’s a senior at Savannah Country Day.
They have this tradition with the seniors driving onto campus while parents, grandparents, siblings, strangers, etc. yell and act foolish, waving posters and big head pictures.
Here comes D …
And here is D’s adoring crew:
Daniel is in the white t-shirt, leaning toward his mom and girlfriend.
Huh? What do you mean you can’t see Robert and me?
We’re sorta under the poster that screams “Daniel” (which I made, Thank You.)
But wait, here we are in clearer view …
See us? To the left of the Daniel sign.
Wait again, this is supposed to be about Daniel.
Did I just hear someone ask to see my award-winning poster in a close-up? Okay, here you go …
May you have an award-winning weekend ahead!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Swimming grandchildren.
2. Fresh summer field peas! Oh my GOODness.
3. The prickly beauty of Red Roses.
4. Air conditioning. (That really should be Number One. )
5. “My” Square, Washington Square, near us— which is a sort of ward/neighborhood outdoor living room. (Savannah‘s historic district has 22 beautiful squares.)
May you have a picture perfect weekend ahead!
(Or at least a little rest.)
Five Friday Happy Bringers 7/26/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. My cousin Steven’s Adorable (and Attentive) Pugs.
2. Fascinating documentary about same sex connections in the animal and plant worlds.
3. The amazing ability to Hear Sounds! What a tremendous blessing I often take for granted.
4. Beautiful and proud summer gladioli.
5. Learning how to talk about mental health and anxiety.
May you have an all-around healthy weekend ahead.
