AUTUMN IS HEEEEEEERE!!!! Hooray! High temperatures here in Savannah, Georgia are staying under 90 degrees, so that’s a sure sign of autumn! We’ll take it! And we’ll dream of cooler days to come! I’m linking up with Leslie to share my list of autumn adventures! Here’s what I hope to do during September, October, and November: Give blood: I scheduled an appointment for last month, but the site had to close early. Later this week I’ll go to my local…
I’m sharing what I’m CURRENTLY up to following prompts given by Anne at In Residence. September’s prompts are: beginning, ending, loving, picking, and posting. Let’s do this!!! I am CURRENTLY… beginning: my Christmas shopping. I loving buying gifts for family and friends, and I love having it wrapped up (no pun intended!) by Thanksgiving so I can rest, enjoy the whole season, and focus on Advent. Between all that and the ongoing shipping delays we’re dealing with, autumn shopping seems…
It’s time to take a look at my Autumn Adventure List and see how I did! You can see the original list HERE. Camping. DONE! As I mentioned in my original post, Gene and I camped for several days near Chattanooga, Tennessee in September. In October we headed up to Asheville, North Carolina, another of our favorite camping/hiking areas. We had a great time in spite of some rain and temps that were warmer than we had hoped. We hiked…
It’s time for Currently! I’m writing in response to prompts from Anne at In Residence. It’s SO much fun to see how other bloggy folks respond to the same prompts! Here’s the list for November 2020! I am CURRENTLY… appreciating: cooler temperatures! We had FROST this morning, you guys! We’ll be back near 80 in a few days, but for now I will enjoy every single minute I get to wear sweaters and sweatshirts! (Yep. We’re back up to near…
Autumn is finally here!!! Hooray! Here in Savannah we enjoyed a few days of cooler temps, but now temps and humidity are back to normal. Ah well! I’m linking up with Leslie again to share the list of things I’m hoping to do during the next few months. My Autumn Adventures! Camping. It’s no secret that Gene and I love to tent camp. We don’t camp during the summer because it’s just too hot, but come autumn we’re ready to…

Hooray for Currently, my favorite link-up! Anne from In Residence gives us five prompts each month, and we see where they take us. This month our prompts are appreciating, anticipating, collecting, starting, and finishing. I am CURRENTLY… appreciating: any and every good thing, big or small! My heart is weary of anger and dissension, so I’m choosing to watch–with even more intention than usual–to find The Good! Today’s good things: Jamaican Me Crazy coffee in a special mug; gentle, rolling…
YOU GUYS!!! Yesterday I promised you a recipe for chili with a surprise twist, and this is it! PUMPKIN CHILI!!! I would never ever have thought pumpkin and chili in the same recipe would work, BUT the amazing Bri McKoy is the one who created it and shared it, and I trust Bri completely! Here’s the thing, this chili is packed with flavor, and/but the pumpkin plays nicely with all the other ingredients and doesn’t scream its presence. Really! My…
What happened to Summer Adventures, you ask? Heat. Heat happened! It’s just too hot here in Coastal Georgia to do much. Also, since we made our big anniversary trip to England and Scotland in May/June, we stayed pretty close to home this summer. Oh, and I had foot surgery. (More on that in a minute.) Then autumn started, and all our attention was focused on our son’s wedding! HOORAY!!! It was lovely and beautiful and amazing! Two weeks after that…
