1. Understanding why someone might decide to become a thief …
2. HR and me — renewing our vows at our church’s annual ceremony.
3. Believing that most people are at their core, good.
4. Back to the first Happy Bringer, the ability to savor chocolate.
5. The expression on grandson Matthew’s face as he was given his certificate announcing that he is now a part of the gifted program at his school.
(And Robert congratulating him.)
May this weekend bring you gifts of peace, health and joy.
“We”
A few odds and ends from Valentine’s Day 2023.
Taking a walk this morning near us here in Savannah, Robert and I came upon this neat little house.
They go all out every holiday. And I always look forward to their displays.
Those of you who follow my blog may remember that Robert is an MCG (Multiple Card Giver). I used to think it was odd that I would get more than one card for my birthday, etc., but now I kook forward to it.
My valentineS this year:
And open!
And here’s my card to HR:
(We were both obviously on sort of a gay theme this year.)
A Blooming Valentine-y February in Savannah …
I hope you’re having a LOVE-ly day.
TODAY SAVANNAH, GEORGIA TURNED 290 YEARS OLD!
“Referred to as “The Hostess City of the South,” Savannah is the oldest city in Georgia and has a long and colorful history that attracts millions of visitors each year. From cobblestone streets and public parks to some of the most unique Antebellum architecture of the South, Savannah is an old beauty that has aged with grace.” trolleytours.com
“Established in 1733 when General James Oglethorpe and 120 fellow passengers on the ship Anne landed on a bluff along the Savannah River, Oglethorpe named the 13th and final American colony Georgia after England’s King George II. Savannah became the first city of this new land.”
“Upon Oglethorpe’s foresight, the city of Savannah was laid out in a series of grids allowing for wide streets and public squares. Considered America’s first planned city, Savannah had 24 original squares with 22 still in existence today.”
Robert I live a few blocks from the bluff and just off Washington Square, the northeast-most of Savannah’s squares.
Recently Robert and I were walking in our favorite Savannah library, Bull Street, when we came upon this poster …
Yes. Yes. Yes.
In spite of what the right-wing extremists say, we should be able to read what we want to read, as should our children.
1. The squirrel on our dining room table. HR’s nickname is Squirrel (long story), so I love it when I find little squirrel figurines.
2. The mincemeat pie I made with leftover mincemeat (from Christmas). It was delicious!
The only issue I had with it was the potential murder weapon Robert used to serve it.
3. The ability to taste, TASTE! Sweet, sour, bitter, salty, etc. What an incredible blessing!
4. The camellias blooming all over Savannah this February.
And for some reason I find the blossoms that fall on the ground so pretty.
5. The joy of leftovers.
At least, once a week, Robert and I have a meal with only leftovers.
Make your weekend be so good (in whatever way you define good) that you will have leftovers on Monday.
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
Robert and … shoes.
So we were walking home yesterday from somewhere or other. When all of a sudden, Robert stopped, excitedly, and spent at least five minutes, maybe ten, taking pictures of … a pair of abandoned shoes on the sidewalk.
I started to argue. And ask him why. But then I thought about the importance of maintaining relationships. So instead, I paused, and did a little meditation exercise.
