Five Friday Happy Bringers (a little late) 4/27/24

Posted on by Neal Saye

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

I have been a bit lax with blog posts for a week or so. Dealing with a few issues.

But here are some Happy Bringers (a day late) :

1. This beautiful old, OLD live oak tree near us here in Historic District Savannah. It may be gnarled and off-balance a bit (hmmm, so am I), but it is magnificent in its glorious longevity.

2. HR, with his shiny pate, working on our sidewalk plants.

3. My Cold Scallop Salad for dinner tonight.

Before adding the scallops, starting at the upper left: chopped jalapeño and celery; the holy Trinity of tomatoes, green bell pepper, and onion; chopped cilantro; and at the top, grapefruit and lime juice

Yum!

4. Placing one foot in front of the other in life.

5. Realizing that sometimes we have to get closer to see simple and natural beauty.

May you see some beauty this weekend!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Robert’s golden beet soup …

… with fresh parsley, black sesame seeds and naan.

2. And speaking of food, remember the silly post I recently did about a very large spring onion HR found?

Here’s what he did with it.

A deliciously juicy, tender and flavorful roasted … yum.

3. Learning something new this week …

I saw this on a door at the Savannah VA Center yesterday. Robert is an Army Veteran

I didn’t realize there was a Universal Sign for Help, did you? 

4. This …

What do you mean, you don’t really see anything? Look closer!

Still nothing?

Actually, what you’re seeing is what I often see when I walk out my front door: a few blocks away, past the trees and traffic, a massive container ship (which sort of looks like a building) …

… maneuvering its course down the Savannah River and out into the Atlantic Ocean.

I’m not sure why this sight brings me a bit of happiness. Maybe because that ship is so WORLD BOUND while I’m just heading to Kroger.

5. Twin Beauty.

May your weekend be Quadruple Beauty!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. Asparagus and corn for our Meatless Tuesday this week (Monday fell through.)

2. Grandson Gabriel (far right, front) and his friends enjoying the eclipse.

3. The amazing ability to see. Try this: move your head slowly to the left and then to the right, noticing how many colors you see along each way.

4. Robert’s aunt’s colorful homemade placemats.

5. This beautiful Purple Clematis fearlessly climbing on a house near us.

I hope nothing eclipses your chances for a Joyful Weekend ahead.
