“The Best Part!”

So when HR went to see the latest superhero movie today, I rushed over to Chick-fil-A for my first Holiday Peppermint Shake of the season.

Festive Yum!

But the terrifically decadent treat wasn’t even the best part. Oh no! No it was not!

Guess what was?

The folks at Chick-fil-A told me I was the BEST PART of TODAY!!! Me, the best part of their day!

See? Neal! Little me from Savannah, Georgia! Out of the thousands (millions?!) of people who ate at Chick-fil-A today!

Aren’t you proud of me?!

(I’m assuming it meant the world, and not just the United States.)

Five Friday Happy Bringers 11/10/23

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. The joy of having, here in Savannah, so MANY art galleries. SCAD, the Savannah College of Art and Design, has several galleries. One of our favorites is the Gustein. a five minute walk from us.

The current exhibit.

2. Geraniums in November.

I saw these on a walk this morn.

3. Our wonderful noses and the ability to smell!

4. Grandson Daniel’s voice in his current play.

5. Lovely lunch with ex-wife Donna and HR at St. John Episcopal Church’s annual Holly Days Bazaar (which has been going on for 80 years now).

Joyful weekend ahead!

Our friend Ruthie, who grew up in Mexico, explaining Dia de los Muertos.

May you dress up as a Joyful You this weekend.

“I (Still) Have A Dream.”

One of my favorite Savannah squares (we have 22 in all) here in my Historic District neighborhood is Greene Square, just a few minutes walk from our place.

See the building behind the lamp post and the centuries-old live oak tree?

It’s the Second African Baptist Church, founded in 1802.

And one of my favorite places to sit and read is that little wooden bench in the lower right hand corner of the photo above. See it?

Here I am sitting and reading a couple of nights ago.

Oh, if buildings could talk!

But wait, they can!
