October!

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

October!

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

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”


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 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.

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.



5. Art!



May you have an artfully beautiful weekend ahead!
“Morning”


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.


2. Classic grilling out.

3. Pretty purple.

4. Waking up each morning, as someone said, “on the right side of the dirt.”
5. Dog sitting with granddog Coastal last weekend.


May your eyes see a safe and splendid weekend ahead!
