Recently, when Robert and I drove over to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, I fell in love with a series of very cool T-shirts featuring area animals and what we can learn from them. So I decided to feature one on each T-shirt Tuesday for a while.
Today, the Beautiful Bluebird.
May we join the bluebird in trying to keep a song in our hearts this Tuesday.
Grandson Daniel is dating a girl … two years older than he is.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Roses from HR.
2. Yummy breakfast at our new favorite Savannah bakery, Sweet Patricia’s (named after the chef’s grandmother).
Puff pastries with egg and bacon. Sweet roll with orange filling.
3. Having enough money to buy puff pastries and a sweet roll.
4. Also having …
Even if it gets turned around sometime.
5. Reading a new book about one of my anxiety issues …
May you breathe easily into a terrific weekend ahead.

Today, the Loveable Ladybug.
A few of HR’s Ladybug Photos …
May we follow her wise advice and “spot new opportunities” today.
Definitely Marveling this morning!
So the other day, HR and I were spending far more time than is socially acceptable walking around and looking at all the fresh veggies and fruits at our favorite local market, Davis Produce, near us here in Savannah on the way out to the ocean.
When all of a sudden, I saw her …
An incredible beauty of a tomato.
A work of natural art.
Striped glory.
So of course, I rescued her from retail and brought her home.
What a Standout she is among her brothers and sisters!
So today, after buying the winning ticket for Monday Night’s $1.5 billion Mega Millions Lottery …
… a distressing thought occurred to me, interrupting my more-pleasant day dream about the hippest colors for matching Land Rovers for Robert and me. The Distressing Thought:
“What if, because of some Freak Accident by The Universe, I DON’T WIN?!”
After hyperventilating and falling into the depths of despair far too long for a man of my age, I finally came to my senses, realizing that there’s more than one way to get 1.5 billion dollars. Duh.
Then, Creative that I am, it didn’t take me long to come up with a viable Plan B.
A PICKLE BUSINESS!
Right?! Yes?! You with me?
I got to work, feeling so lucky that HR and I had just purchased some beautiful fancy cucumbers.
TIB (Truth in Blogging): Robert prepped the cucumbers, using his Fancy Stainless Steel Kitchen Mandoline Slicer thingy, which he won’t let me ANYWHERE near. He says I would kill myself because of my wandering attention span.
See? You’re believing in me now, I bet.
The name of my new $1.5 Billion Pickle Company?
“NEAL’S DILLS,” of course.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Summer Salads just keep on coming.
2. An HR-planned date night.
We went down to Plant Riverside, had dinner, watched the ships and enjoyed a terrific jazz concert.
3. Being thankful for a new chiropractor who is helping me with my lower back and arthritis issues. I walked out of his office yesterday morning with NO PAIN for the rest of the day.
4. Laughing at the craziness of both Halloween and Thanksgiving already making an appearance. And in this summer heat!
5. Tomato sandwiches!
I hope you have much to be “thanksgiving for” this weekend!
