One of my favorite spots at the old farmhouse where we are staying … the OLD mailbox. Unused of course. Except by the birds.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 1/30/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. The Joy of Sharing a Meal with Friends.
2. Oh my GOODness, Tuesday’s breakfast at Ally’s Bakery in Rincon GA, near the farmhouse where we’re staying while our place in Savannah is being renovated.
Ally’s cakes and cookies are works of art. Check out some of her work/art on her website:

3. The amazing ability to SMELL! Walking into Abby’s the first time!
4. Laughing at discovering the outdoor shower at the old farmhouse where we are staying. The farm belongs to our friend Gordon who lives in Arizona but keeps his grandparents’ farm for visits to Georgia.
Of course it has been FAR TOO COLD try it out!
5. But wasn’t too cold for a tuna salad picnic outside the farmhouse the other day.
May it be warm enough for you to bask in some Weekend Joy ahead.
Shhh … Silent Sunday. 1/11/26
Shhh.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 1/2/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Kitty Benny in black and white on my lap the other morning.
2. Blessings of the New Year waiting to be revealed.
3. The wonderful ability to Breathe Deeply.
4. Robert and my New Year’s Eve/New York Strip cookout.
It was warm enough to eat outside.
5. Remembering this festively pedaling Santa that HR and I saw in Manhattan a few weeks ago.
May you make some Memories of Good this first weekend of the New Year.
Santa, Please.
Countdown to Christmas 2025: “Thou Shalt LOVE, Not Hate” — Day Ten 12/10/25
From December 1-25, I’ll be sharing a quote and its truth from John Fugelsang’s Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person’s Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists and Flock-Fleecing Frauds, the book Robert and I are currently and fascinatingly reading.
An odd Advent Calendar, of sorts.
If you are interested, you can see the introduction to this new blog category here:
Today Fugelsang is being both serious and playful:
“A loving God welcomes people of all genders and sexual identities.”
“And if you believe in the Trinity, then God identifies as “they.’” p. 142
Oh Look!
Meandering through Marshall’s, I made the most AMAZING discovery:
I’m no longer going to age or get old!
Really! Look!
I wish I had known this is all it took earlier!
Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/31/25
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Making our annual ofrenda (altar) for Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), celebrating our loved ones who have passed on before us.
2. Halloween coffee this morning at one of our favorite coffee bars here in Savannah, Origin.
And the baristas who made them …
3. The fortitude to laugh and savor the moment, even in the midst of our current political climate.
4. The Halloween morning light teasing our steep 1840’s stairs.
5. Cool Halloween decorations here in Savannah.
May your Halloween Weekend be filled with Good Spirits.
