Hello again. It’s Pollyanna. I haven’t written a blog post in six years! A couple of things happened that caused me to lose my voice. That’s a story for another post. However, this year, 2022, has been so weird and bad and unstable that I found my voice coming back. How crazy is that? It…
Four Weddings and a Funeral?
Hello everyone. Pollyanna is back. I lost my voice four years ago and have just found it again. I came back on WordPress to update and get ready to tell stories again and noticed that I had written one that I never posted. It was surreal to read what I had written. I’ve needed to…
Respect the Chairs
The first St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Savannah was held in 1813 and this year marked the 193rd year of this beloved event. St. Patrick’s Day is THE holiday in the city. It is the second largest parade in the country and the biggest event of the year with nearly 400,000 people on the streets…
Wish List
I just learned a new word that I have never heard before. Apparently this term has been around for almost ten years. I’ve used the format on this blog and didn’t know it. I asked my very knowledgeable husband if it was a REAL word that could be found in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. He said…
Just Make the Damn Wreath!
For the past two years I have acquired an interest in crafting and being more creative. Gasp! My interest in crafting started two years ago when my stepmother taught me how to make mesh wreaths. She is an avid crafter and usually can talk me into jumping on the craft bandwagon. In this particular venture…
Firefly Cafe
In my quest to embrace change and figure out what to do next I’ve talked a lot about putting one foot in front of the other and walking out the door. But where do I actually go when I walk out my front door? One of our favorite places to go in Savannah is just…
Shut the Front Door!
The end is near! The end of 2015 that is and I’m stressing a little over that. In January I wrote a blog post entitled “Word Search”. I was very excited to find my “word for the year” and explore it fully over the course of 2015. I chose the word “open” because I thought…
Love Match
My husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary last week. We met on Match.com. We are a Match.com success story! We should be in one of their commercials. I know at least four other married couples who met on Match.com. For “older” people who don’t want to meet someone at a bar or at…
I fear that I am guilty. Should I be worried about that?
Fear. Guilt. Should. Worry. The four most debilitating emotions in my world. I’ve had a few personal experiences recently that have led me to open the door and let these evil critics in. I try not to let the negative thoughts come into my head but by habit I let them in. It’s a struggle…
Well, who are you? Who, Who, Who, Who?
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) ‘Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) From The Who – Who Are You I recently…
