Going Coastal
So Robert and I live in beautiful Historic District Savannah …
… about 20 minutes from Tybee Island …
… and the Atlantic Ocean.
Living near the coast is terrific.
But it does get on my nerves a teeny tiny bit that “Coastal” is incorporated into SO many businesses, organizations, etc. here.
My dermatologist is Coastal Dermatology.
My dentist is Coastal Dentistry.
My chiropractor is Coastal Chiropractic
Even my daughter Amy owns a local health care company called COASTAL Care Partners, for goodness sake!
https://www.coastalcarepartners.com
And she has a dog named (of course) Coastal.
Who may or may not be gay.
Shhh … Silent Sunday. 1/21/24
My Saturday Evening Post: 1/20/24 “Bird Beauty”
So yesterday, Robert and I sashayed over to the Telfair Museums here in Historic District Savannah. (Yes, it’s plural—there are three separate buildings and locations.) One of the joys of living downtown is its walkability. (Is that a word, or did I just make it up?)
I wanted to see one of the newer and smaller exhibits at the Jepson Center.
I have always considered birds to be the personification of elegance and upper echelon beauty.
I was enthralled.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 1/19/24
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. A beautiful Martin Luther King Day parade here in Savannah.
2. Truth:
3. Grandson Gabriel’s soaring pink basketball shoes.
4. The incredible luxury of owning a car! Which like many (most?) things I usually take for granted.
Here’s ours …
Kidding.
Here it is …
(With Robert texting or something in his skinny jeans.)
Ours may be little and a bit shy, but she takes us from Point A to Point B. And even sometimes from Point A to Point Z!
5. You in all your You-ness.
May You and your You-ness find Warmth and a measure of Joy this weekend.

Oh-My-Goodness! Yum!
(Can all that count as one word please?)
Robert’s incredible New York Strip dinner the other night with my farmers market limas and his steakhouse garlic mushrooms.
Tuesday Good Night!

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 1/15/24 “Flower Power: Carnation”
So HR got me this cool and beautiful book for Christmas.
I love it.
From the intro: “Flowers are incredible. They have the power to calm, heal, and allow us to express our deepest emotions without saying a word. They can boost your mood, reduce stress, and improve well-being.”
“Choosing a flower for its traditional meaning, natural energy, or holistic properties, you can bring the benefits of the natural world into your home or workplace, and into the lives of loved ones.”
My birth flower is the carnation, so when I turned #{£%&@ on January 10, we picked up some pink and white lovelies.
Following the advice of philosopher of contemporary living and favorite author Alexandra Stoddard, we divided the bouquet into smaller arrangements and placed them around the apartment.
What a difference the addition of a few fresh flowers can make!
“Carnations have long been associated with love. Different colors of carnation have various meanings with the overall theme of love: pink carnations are symbolic of pure and romantic love; red ones signify ardent love, and white tell the recipient they are fair and beautiful.”
So the beautiful carnations coronating our little place helped to heal me of the shocked revelation on January 10 that I am now #{£%&@ years old!
