HR is continuing his quirkily unorthodox tradition of giving me MULTIPLE birthday cards. It started on Saturday, continued Sunday and Monday, leading up to today, my actual birthday.
I find them all over the place: in my daily planner, in the front of the tv, even next to the toilet (tmi?).
I used to think it was odd to get more than one bday card from the same person, but now I look forward to Robert’s card extravaganza.
I think maybe in 2023, I’ll become a spy. I’m retired, so I have some free time on my hands. How hard could it be?
Please ignore this post. Because I don’t think spies are supposed to tell people that they are spies, right?
1. My Favorite Little Card from the holidays.
“Be Kind, Rain or Shine”
2. Memories of a Beautiful Christmas 2022.
3. Shelter. A place to sleep, to lay my head at night.
4. Grandson Daniel, enjoying the “Harry Potter Experience” in Atlanta recently.
5. My Resolution #5 for 2023:
“LOOK FOR GOOD.”
May we all have a “good-looking” weekend ahead.
January-Autumn?!
(Okay, maybe I cheated a little with the one-word thing by hyphenating January and Autumn.)
I wonder why she doesn’t want to let go of Autumn. Or for that matter, Christmas.
Robert and I are off to a delicious new year …
How? By charcutering, of course! Dinner tonight …
Grandson Daniel and his good buddy Aiden, after completely failing to be able to stay on their feet and ice skate at the civic center here in Savannah …
1. Holly.
I think that Christmas can absolutely not be Jolly without Holly.
2. Robert’s little homemade birch Christmas card-hanging thingy.
3. The ability to wake up each morning and see. SEE! I can look on the other side of the bed and see HR sleeping soundly. (Well, more truthfully, actually HEAR HR sleeping soundly. Whew.) I can look out my window and see the ancient Live Oak tree branches swaying in the wind. I can walk out of the bedroom into the hall, kitchen, living room, and see our modest collection of art, family heirlooms and comfortable rugs …
I can see! What an incredible blessing. But I so often take SEEING for granted.
4. My World Famous Hambone Soup, made from the hambone left over from our Christmas ham.
Oh, and with my jalapeño cornbread.
5. The Truth of this quote …
“The destination of life is this eternal moment.” Alan Watts
I truthfully hope you have a joyful last weekend of 2022.

My husband and my grandtwins Matthew and Madison back in 2015.
