Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles, and warm woolen mittens, these are a few of my favorite things…
Actually, some of my favorite things are…
1. The laughter of a young child.
2. The smell of rain or a freshly cut lawn
3. Flowers – daisies, sunflowers, hyacinths, daffodils, white carnations (it’s a Chi Omega thing), magnolias, hibiscus, crepe myrtles, dogwood – I love them.
4. The feel of a purrfectly content cat, sleeping next to me.
5. The smell of fresh bread baking.
6. When Baby Bear waves bye-bye and smiles because he knows I’ll always come back.
7. Watching Dancer share her faith with her friends.
8. When Elmo says “phew” and runs away giggling because he got me.
9. Knowing tractor probably will grow up and fish from his John Deere.
10. Seeing myself in Dennis the Menace’s eyes.
11. Playing cards with PokerBoy and knowing that if he wins, it wasn’t because I let him. He’s just that good.
12. Knowing my dissertation is finished. Anything else I do with it is completely optional.
13. Newfoundland dogs.
14. Volunteering at the Humane Society.
15. My butterfly shoes.
16. LSU!!! Geaux Tigers!!!
17. Raggedy Ann and Holly Hobbie – some things we just don’t outgrow.
18. The women in my Wednseday night church Bible Study and my work Lunch Bunch. They have no idea how much they mean to me.
19. Our international daughters – Kathleen, Gloria, Ana, Christiane, Sara, and Petra.
20. The dream of some day owning a home.
21. A well organized pantry. Just ask FireGoddess – she’ll tell you I’m OCD on this one.
22. HGTV – I’m obsessed.
23. Reconnecting with old friends and staying close to new ones.
24. Scrapbooking and Journaling.
25. Friends who will always be there for me, even when I make mistakes.
26. Having the best husband and partner in life I never dreamed possible.
