My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Incredible raw oyster spread at my favorite local oyster bar, Sorry Charlie’s, here in Historic District Savannah.


2. The Beautiful ability and privilege to Breathe.

3. My new AirTags on my Father’s Day wallet and keys.

P.S. It makes me Happy that my life has Simplified such that I now have only TWO KEYS.
4. Playing with daughter Emily’s Bantam chicks.


5. Summer blackberries!


May your weekend be a berry, berry good one.
“Calm”


Morning meditation by the pond at Savannah Botanical Gardens



My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Pretty purple gladiolas.

2. Preparing the Perfect Roast Chicken (at least according to Ina Garten.)

With a little help from Robert and his gay watch band …





It was quite the hit!
3. The occasional afternoon nap. What a treat.
4. Crusty, buttery bread.

5. Celebrating HR’s birthday with pizza and Donna.


May you have cause to celebrate this weekend.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Colorful window boxes near us.

2. HR, coffee and the world.


3. The ability to smell!
4. My Bombay Potatoes with amchur (dried mango) spice. You may recall that Robert and I participate in a monthly “Spice Club” at our local library. SO much fun!


5. Colorful art from granddaughter Madison.


May you have a Colorful Weekend ahead.
Marveling at the JOY of having our first local, vine-ripe tomato sandwich for 2024.


Robert got fancy, and in my opinion, “purist tomato sandwich blasphemous,” with flavored vinegars and gobs of cucumbers, instead of simple salt, pepper and Duke’s mayonnaise.




May you experience something MARVELous this Monday!


And at home …


My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. This new (to HR and me) hot sauce we discovered at a local Mexican restaurant yesterday. So good with a hot and smokey flavor.

2. The beautifully rustic little cabin we stayed in at F.D. Roosevelt State Park in Pine Mountain, GA earlier this week.



3. Meeting some very neat home-for-the-summer college kids at a corn farm.


4. Robert’s homemade pizza for supper tonight.




5. Georgia Peaches!


I hope you have a Peach of a Weekend ahead!
