A Few of My Favorite Things...



I absolutely love The Sound of Music. My favorite part is when Julie Andrews sings "Favorite Things." It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. This morning, I thought to myself, "Why not consider a few of my favorite things?" Here a few of my favorite things and I hope after you read, you will share your list of favorites!

* Wet kisses on my cheek from my neices and nephews
* Naked trees in the dead of winter
* Thick frost on windows
* Burning wood in a stove
* New fallen snow
* A midnight sky painted with stars
* The first taste of watermelon in the summer
* Old, familiar friendship
* Love
* Weeping Willow trees
* Hot chocolate with whipped cream
* Warm chocolate chip cookies

Please share your favorite things and bring a bright spot to the holiday season!

~~Lying in my hammock and listening to Bebo Norman cds with my granddaughters all snuggled up with me. And us all singing along for the neighborhood.
~~~teaparties with my granddaughters.
~~~having lunch at school with my granddaughters.
~~~lunching with a friend and sharing a dessert afterwards with two forks.
~~~The first shoots of flowers peeping through the earth in Spring.
~~~butterflies, butterflies, butterflies.
~~~the first bite into the first warm ripe tomato off the vine
~~~picking beans
~~~sipping hot mulled applecider on a cold blustery night.
~~~the smell of homemade chicken soup on the stove.
~~~the pop of corn on the cob between my teeth
~~~Finding out my clock was fast when I'm late for an appointment.
~~~merciful policemen when I'm going too fast.
~~~the comfort I find in God's Word when my heart is broken.
~~~the friend He brings to share my broken heart. SelahV

SelahV- Do you realize that coconut cream pie is my specialty? If I could send one through the mail, I would.

Rose- Thanks for your input on favorite things. It's funny how someone else's list conjures up more favorite things. I believe that the two of us and SelahV could have a ball if we were to meet up!
