“It’s Still Life?”

So today, HR and I had lunch with our dear friends Don and Jim at the salad-ly delicious Urban Deli within walking distance of us here in historic district Savannah.

Beyond yummy food.

Especially their salads.

I opted for the brussels sprouts salad, along with a healthy helping of their red beet salad.

I consumed it far too quickly, never thinking about taking a photo remembrance.

Afterwards, as we were sitting, stuffed, Savannah fall conversing, I looked down on my plate …

And saw a still life masterpiece.

Follow Up to Monday Evening’s “The Older I Get” Blog Post

So the other night, I did a silly post about photographing older folks (“older folks” meaning me).

Here’s a link, in case you missed it:

Tonight, I am back in “My Square,” Washington Square, here in Historic District Savannah …

Reading …

Such a fun read! 

And I thought, “Should I do another selfie tonight?“

I started …

“There we go,” I thought, “that angle meets the criteria.”

Then got a bit braver …

And only because fellow blogger buddy Matt VERY generously said my best feature was my smile …

It’s getting dark, so I should go in. HR will be ready for dinner soon.

May you have a Joyful and Peaceful Wednesday night.

The Older I Get … #2

… the more the concept of a good picture of myself changes.

This evening, for instance, I walked the block or so from our place here in Historic District Savannah to sit up on the bluff from the Savannah River and read.

OK, OK, maybe it’s not The Iliad. But it is a whole bunch of escapist fun.

For some inexplicable reason, I decided to take a selfie …

And there you go — an Older Age Portrait.

HAPPY MONDAY EVENING FROM SAVANNAH!

Posted in Robert and …

“Robert and … #43”

A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.

So because of Hurricane Helene and NO POWER, Robert and I had to get outta Dodge (well, Savannah). So we hightailed it over to Columbus, Georgia, where younger daughter Emily lives.

Before going over to visit (and bother) Emily, we drove to downtown Columbus and the Chattahoochee River to see what we heard was “a tumultuous scene.” This “scene” was caused by the city having to open the floodgates to relieve the pressure, so as to avert further dangerous flooding in the Columbus area.

“Open the floodgates?” Perhaps you didn’t know Columbus had a dam. (Yes I said the word … “dam”— alternate spelling, “damn.”)

OK, enough of this silly rigamarole.

Here’s a short film, entitled “The Two R’s – the Damn River and Robert” …

As you can probably tell, Robert had no idea I was producing this award-winning film. 

But there he is, in a rather proud posture.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 8/23/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

  1. Robert and I had a lovely hour perusing a new exhibit, “A Measure of Time,” at our local Savannah Jepson Center for the Arts.

Gloriously colorful, geometric shapes everywhere!

HR trying (unsuccessfully) to blend in.

2. The ongoing belief that our bodies know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.

3. Colorful carrots!

I made a delicious new dish, Maple Roasted Rainbow Carrots with Fennel Seeds, with some of them.

4. Our “Travel Buddies.” Have I told you about them? Three silly little stuffed animals HR and I have given each other over the years. But they travel with us EVERYWHERE we go.

I’ll do a blog post about some of their adventures soon.

5. Friday!

Joyful weekend ahead for you!

You know you’re getting old when you get invited to this …

At the same time, you’re out in your also-incredibly beautiful Savannah Square reading this …

Ho hum. Life goes on.

With beauty all around.
