Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/25/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Granddaughter Isabelle pumpkin-patching.

2. Fall!

A porch near us here in Historic District Savannah

3. I know I have mentioned this far too many times, but … the ability to BREATHE. In, Out. In, Out. In, Out.

4. Interesting trail names on a recent hike at nearby Whitemarsh Island Preserve Trail …

5. A cool artistic statue on the Augusta, Georgia river walk.

May you hurry to a wonderful weekend ahead!

Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/18/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Enjoying the cooler fall weather here in Savannah.

2. Speaking of cooler weather, HR driving us over to Tybee Island yesterday evening to see/experience the beautiful Hunter Moon rising “from” the Atlantic ocean.

Get ready. Here she comes!

3. After the Moon Spectacular, we headed to the very ocean-hip Sea Wolf Tybee bar and restaurant …

… for their gourmet hot dogs. I stayed seawater simple with their Classic dog …

While Robert (as usual) got all fancy with their Chicago dog.

For some reason, I ALWAYS have to look into the restrooms at quirky restaurants. Why? Their bathrooms often mirror the quirkiness of the rest of the place.

Sea Wolf certainly came through. When you close the bathroom door, there is a hot dog costume hanging there. (I wondered if anyone ever tried it on and sashayed back to their table.)

I didn’t look too closely at the bloody looking costume to hot dog’s right.

And look what we found out on the patio.

A hot dog wreath, of course.

And hats for witches.

Or warlocks.

OK, I really need to stop this Frankfurter Foolishness.

4. Robert’s monochromal kitty Benny. 

5. And grandson Daniel in final rehearsals as young Shakespeare in the upcoming play Shakespeare in Love.

Hope you have a hotdog of a weekend ahead!

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.

Our autumn inside door

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!

Five Friday Happy Bringers 9/27/24

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. Thankful that here in Savannah we made it through Hurricane Helene safely. Even though our power is off and tree branches are seemingly everywhere.

2. Classic grilling out.

(But not last night in the middle of Helene!)

3. Pretty purple.

4. Waking up each morning, as someone said, “on the right side of the dirt.”

5. Dog sitting with granddog Coastal last weekend.

May your eyes see a safe and splendid weekend ahead!
