A blog category about finding “art” in unexpected places and situations.
So the other morning I sat down with HR to my breakfast of ham cubes (well, that’s what they look like, right?), eggs and toast.
Sleepily took a bite of toast …
… and spotted the rare GrapeJelly Splattered Scrubwren!
Sadly, birdlike, she didn’t linger on my plate very long before “flying” away.
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
Robert and … Benny, hard at work.
As a retiree, it’s both pretty sad and very telling that the most exciting text (followed by an email) that I received today was an invitation to take part in a diarrhea study. But with the possibility of payment!
(I did not reply STOP.)
My very favorite subject in high school was GEOMETRY.
Unlike calculus, trigonometry, and even algebra, geometry just made plain sense to me.
I mean, everything seems to have a shape. Even if it’s shapeless, isn’t that still sort of a category of a shape?
I also like the way the word “geometry” sounds and even feels coming out of my mouth. Try saying it.
“gee-ah-muh-tree”
Now try saying it a little slower.
“geeee-ahhhh-muuuh-treee”
It’s like getting a teensy massage of the mouth and lips. (Stop staring at me like that. It is!)
And it has such a rhythmic flow.
So yes, I love geometry. The word and the subject.
And apparently, so does my iPhone’s camera. For as I was walking out our front door the other day, minding my own business, my phone looked down and somehow without my assistance snapped a quick photo of our hallway floor, etc.,etc., including my left shoe.
When I discovered the unintentional (at least by me) photo, I have to say that I was a bit charmed with my phone’s artistic expertise and perspective.
Just look at all the geometry!
Circles and squares and ovals. Rectangles and triangles. Lines and points.
If I squint, I think I can even make out a few symbols from sacred geometry.
So even though I have not discovered what the geometry of the universe really is, I do have a better “footing” for my hallway’s geometry.
Does food (or life) get any better than this?!
So last weekend, Robert and I ventured down to Jacksonville, Florida to get away from the St. Patrick’s Day craziness here in Savannah. (We live on the parade route.)
One of our weekend meals found us in the Mayport area of Jacksonville, just off the Atlantic Ocean. and at one of our very favorite seafood restaurants, Safe Harbor.
I got the blackened shrimp and haddock. Oh my goodness!
Robert got something or other, I can’t remember what, I was too busy with my own seafood extravaganza.
But here he is …
The Joy of Food!
You know you’re getting … “older” when you open up an email such as this …
And find it not only a fascinating read, but just so very practical, and maybe even a little bit hip.
Or at least close to the hip.
A new (and silly) blog category inviting you to find HR (Husband Robert) in the photo.
Moaning a bit this Monday morn, but not unpleasantly.
So on my desk sits this little daily mindfulness calendar.
And on the back of each page is “The Daily Extra.”
Here’s today’s. (A moaningly bad joke.)
But a tad funny.
