Five Friday Happy Bringers 2/14/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. This beyond-delicious morning coffee at one of our favorite coffee shops here in Savannah, Origin Coffee Bar.

“Southern Frost: A cozy orange and cardamom flat white with your milk of choice.”

Of course, I didn’t really know the definition of a “flat white.”

Hello, Google.

“A flat white is an espresso drink made with steamed milk and microfoam, resulting in a velvety texture and creamy taste. It’s smaller than a latte or cappuccino, but stronger due to less froth and milk. The milk in a flat white is velvety and not diluted with foam, highlighting the coffee’s nuances. Flat whites are made with a 2:3 coffee-to-milk ratio, compared to 1:2 for cappuccinos.” coffeebeancorral.com

TMI?

2. The Joyful Ability to Walk!

On a hike, somewhere or other, with my faithful hiking stick.

3. Getting caught in a DOWNPOUR yesterday morning on busy Bay Street near us here in Savannah.

Finding a bit of shelter under a store’s awning.

My thoughts earlier as we headed out the door, umbrella-less, into threateningly dark clouds: “Oh we have time to dash down the street for a twenty-minute constitutional.”

Robert droning on about who-knows-what. I wasn’t paying attention to him. The rain was talking louder.

4. Laughter!

5. A Happy Valentine’s Day 2025!

My cards from HR …

May you have a sweet weekend ahead!

Happy Day of Valentines!

I hope you’re having a good day on this 2024 February 14th Valentine’s Day.

Unbeknownst ahead of time, Robert gave me roses, and I gave him a rose bush.

As I have mentioned before, he likes to give multiple cards on special days. (Which I thought was kind of weird at first but now love it.)

His Three to Me …

My fav — It may just be frame worthy.

And mine to him …

A Valentine’s Day Miscellany

A few odds and ends from Valentine’s Day 2023.

Taking a walk this morning near us here in Savannah, Robert and I came upon this neat little house.

They go all out every holiday. And I always look forward to their displays.

Those of you who follow my blog may remember that Robert is an MCG (Multiple Card Giver). I used to think it was odd that I would get more than one card for my birthday, etc., but now I kook forward to it.

My valentineS this year:

And open!

My haul

And here’s my card to HR:

(We were both obviously on sort of a gay theme this year.)

A Blooming Valentine-y February in Savannah …

I hope you’re having a LOVE-ly day.
