I HAVE To Show You These!

Posted on by Neal Saye

I know I have been posting pictures of Savannah‘s camellias pretty often lately (emphasis on “pretty”), but I just HAVE to share a few photos from Robert’s and my trip to the Savannah Botanical Gardens this morning.

Here’s one named for former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.

But my favorite was this stunning White Princess from the massive camellia bush above.

The Beauty of Mother Nature!

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. My steaming Ham Bone Pinto Soup from leftover holiday ham.

2. The ability to Breathe. To Simply Breathe.

I believe that breathing is the greatest and continual joy of being alive.

3. My preference for blurry pictures of myself as I get older.

4. This incredible warm spell we’re having here in Savannah.

We slept with open windows last night! In January.

(Ignore the dumbbells. I do.)

5. The joy of the forest.

May your weekend be a lush forest of that which you consider good.

Going Coastal

Posted on by Neal Saye

So Robert and I live in beautiful Historic District Savannah …

Savannah.com

… about 20 minutes from Tybee Island …

Tybeeisland.org

… and the Atlantic Ocean.

Tybee Island

Living near the coast is terrific.

But it does get on my nerves a teeny tiny bit that “Coastal” is incorporated into SO many businesses, organizations, etc. here.

My dermatologist is Coastal Dermatology.

My dentist is Coastal Dentistry.

My chiropractor is Coastal Chiropractic

Even my daughter Amy owns a local health care company called COASTAL Care Partners, for goodness sake!

And she has a dog named (of course) Coastal.

Who may or may not be gay.

We’re going Coastal!

My Saturday Evening Post: 1/20/24 “Bird Beauty”

Posted on by Neal Saye

So yesterday, Robert and I sashayed over to the Telfair Museums here in Historic District Savannah. (Yes, it’s plural—there are three separate buildings and locations.) One of the joys of living downtown is its walkability. (Is that a word, or did I just make it up?)

I wanted to see one of the newer and smaller exhibits at the Jepson Center.

I have always considered birds to be the personification of elegance and upper echelon beauty.

I was enthralled.
