My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Robert’s preposterously delicious beef pot pie from the other night.



2. Our buddy and theology student August and his beautiful black shawl.

3. The belief that our nation is strong enough to withstand the right (and left) extremists.
4. Attending the surprise 70th birthday party at Midtown Sports for buddy “Fluff.”


5. Balanced rest.

May your weekend ahead be exactly what you want it to be.
“Big-headed”









I recently finished the book Anxious People. And I love this bittersweet bit of dialogue about holding hands with our little ones.
“Have you ever held a three-year-old by the hand on the way home from preschool?“
“No.”
“You’re never more important than you are then.“
What truth!


My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Finishing with Robert perhaps one of the top three novels we’ve read together in the last ten years …

Oh my goodness, it’s hilarious, heartwarming, heartbreaking, a mystery, a treatise on our economy and banking system, a love story/love stories, an examination of the inevitably difficult dynamics of family. And a book FULL of surprises. I did not want it to end. I miss the characters. I highly recommend it!
What a joy to read a good book.
2. The 2023 Savannah Music Festival.

What a treat! Last night Robert and I went to a bluegrass event with incredible banjoes, fiddles and guitars.




(Just so you know, I played trombone in high school. Okay, I was 3rd chair. And I really never managed to march on the football field and play my instrument at the same time. But still.)
3. Air. Oxygen. Breath.
4. HR finally learning how to photograph me now that I’m 71.

5. This morning walking past my favorite old Savannah mansion which faces Forsyth Park.


May your weekend’s peace and joy be of mansion proportions.
So HR and I went to a new little cafe near us for lunch today.

It was raining, so we went inside.

Delicious sandwiches


But what warmed my heart the most was the little sign as we entered …

I’M SPECIAL!
YOU ARE TOO!
This morning Greene Square near us here in Historic District Savannah hosted the annual Spring Equinox Brunch. Glorious!


Oh my gosh. Such springtime fun as we proclaimed a hearty “Salut!” to Spring 2023.
