So the other day, HR and I were spending far more time than is socially acceptable walking around and looking at all the fresh veggies and fruits at our favorite local market, Davis Produce, near us here in Savannah on the way out to the ocean.
When all of a sudden, I saw her …
An incredible beauty of a tomato.
A work of natural art.
Striped glory.
So of course, I rescued her from retail and brought her home.
What a Standout she is among her brothers and sisters!
We went down to Plant Riverside, had dinner, watched the ships and enjoyed a terrific jazz concert.
3. Being thankful for a new chiropractor who is helping me with my lower back and arthritis issues. I walked out of his office yesterday morning with NO PAIN for the rest of the day.
4. Laughing at the craziness of both Halloween and Thanksgiving already making an appearance. And in this summer heat!
Kroger near us
5. Tomato sandwiches!
I hope you have much to be “thanksgiving for” this weekend!
Recently, when Robert and I drove over to the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, I fell in love with a series of very cool T-shirts featuring area animals and what we can learn from them. So I decided to feature one on each T-shirt Tuesday for a while.
Today, the Delightfully Dazzling Dragonfly.
Up close and personal with a friendly dragonfly down in Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp south of us …
And coincidentally, yesterday Donna sent me a photo of a dragonfly she spotted on her car’s antenna …
With the dragonfly, may we appreciate this long summer day.
HR’s cool pasta salad, with tomato and turkey sandwiches at lunch yesterday (The red wine, brown sugar pickled beets might have stolen the show.)And a very yummy summer salad at our favorite neighborhood bar hangout, Midtown Sports, here in Savannah.
2. Discovering and hanging out at the Smallest Church in America (or so it proclaimed) an hour or so south of us near coastal Darien, GA
HR loudly ringing the smallest church’s bell. (Fun fact: I am actually an ordained minister.)
3. Baked Beans.
4. Love rocks!
5. Bell peppers.
The trio were featured prominently in HR’s sweet and sour pork supper.
May you have a coloful, bell-ringing weekend ahead!

Today, the Awesome Alligator.
Okay, TIB (Truth in Blogging): I respect this animal, but am ridiculously scared of him/her as well.The alligator is common in my area of the country.They are found primarily in freshwater swamps and marshes, as well as in rivers, lakes and smaller bodies of water. My older daughter and her family live over on Skidaway Island here in Savannah. Alligators often sun themselves on the banks of lagoons bordering houses.
My first grandson Daniel was just a little one when I would carry him or push him in the stroller on walkways near some of those lagoons. I would always get so very nervous when I would see an alligator stretching out in the sun. I would pick up my pace.
This is the only type I can tolerate …
And even with a baby alligator, I look a tad disheveled and out of mental control.
Here are a few of Robert’s pictures of alligators from our travels near us. I am posting them with my eyes closed. So I hope you are able to see them.
Actually, some of the alligator’s advice is pretty sage. Although I can’t remember any of it, and can’t force myself to scroll back up to read it. You do that for me, please.

Today, the Colorful Cardinal …
A couple of pics HR took of cardinals.
Let’s try to follow at least some of the wise Cardinal’s advice.
2. Billboards sprouting up around Savannah featuring grandson Daniel as Raoul in the Savannah Theatre’s upcoming production of Phantom of the Opera.
The production opens July 7.
3. This week walking one of the trails (by myself, quite unusual, R and I are usually together 24/7 ) at the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge near us.
