Five Friday Happy Bringers 11/3/23

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. HR and me, having a neat little before-it-gets-cold picnic at nearby Forsyth Park here in Savannah.

2. And me becoming the official spokesperson for Lays.

3. Celebrating Day of the Dead at our church and at home.

Our friend Ruthie, who grew up in Mexico, explaining Dia de los Muertos.

4. Clean running water day after day after day.

5. Grandson Daniel and his actor bundies dressing up for Halloween as Taylor Swift’s Exes.

(D is Harry Styles.)

May you dress up as a Joyful You this weekend.

Pretty Accident

I have had more than my fair share of “accidents” involving placing my cell phone in the front pocket of my pants. More often than not, pocket dialing far too many folks on my contact list.

I don’t know why my cell phone can’t simply behave himself like our old telephones used to do. They certainly never “accidentally” land-lined my primary care physician multiple times in one day … on his personal number. But then again, I think it was the doctor’s fault for giving me his private number to begin with. What was he thinking?

Last night, however, I had a “pretty accident.” I reached into my pocket and pulled out my cellphone, which was inexplicably showing me the tail end of my “Recents” photo album …

But I wasn’t mad at myself this time. I thought the “accident” was kinda pretty, with its pinkish, bluish purple.

Oh, and that girl in the black outfit toward the bottom is grandtwin Madison, dressed in this year’s Halloween costume—Wednesday from The Addams Family.

But how on earth did I manage to “pocket dial” “picture taking” … multiple times?! And how did those colors become photos?

(Maybe I should non-accidentally text the pretty, colorful pic to my doctor.)

Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/27/23

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. HR and I live in Savannah’s Historic District just off Washington Square (Savannah has 22), a few blocks from the mighty river.

This past Saturday, our square and ward held our 7th Annual Bathrobe Brunch. In memory of a local Washington Square resident who would wear his bathrobe out in the square, sit at a particular bench and work on his day’s business pursuits.

We wear our PJ’s and bathrobes, bring brunch treats and socialize up a storm.

Robert and I (well, I) chose a mismatched Halloween theme this year.

The food was incredible.

SUCH SAVANNAH FUN!

2. And later the same day, enjoying the Savannah Pride Festival.

3. Shoes! Aren’t they wonderful?! You don’t have to go barefooted. Do you own any?

My new Hokas.

4. Grandson Daniel winning the Best Actor award at last weekend’s South Georgia regional one-act play competition for his role as Peter in “Peter and the Star Catcher.”

(Not that I’m a proud grandad or anything.)

5. This very cool autumnal season.

Happy Last Weekend in October!
