These are a few of my favorite things #1

I have recently realized there a few things that make me smile....besides the obvious. So here is a few of the things that daily make me go "I really like this":

I love that I live in a place where I can see scenes like this just driving down the road. This is actually Mount Baker up in Northern Washington, but on a clear day around here in Oregon you can see up to 3 mountains! It's just gorgeous!


Misty, my teddy bear that I got when I was 9 years old. I slept with her up until I got married. She recently had a run in with a dog (a puppy that shall remain unnamed that lives in our house that I did not talk to for a couple of days following the mauling incident in question), and lost her nose. But I think with a little help she will be as close to normal as possible.


My new art work, thanks to the new preschooler in our house. It looks lovely hanging on our wall! I am looking forward to more of these. =)


My cat, Parler and the fact that she loves to crawl under the covers. I got her when she was 8 weeks old or so. She turned 9 years old on July 23rd. I love her to peices, she is an excellent cat. She doesn't bite, or scratch (probably because she has no front claws). She actually has a little personality and is big and fat and is cuddly on her own terms. Not to mention she beautiful!

There are more things that make me smile. But I haven't taken pictures yet, hence... there will probably be a Favorite things #2 in the future.

What are some of your favorite things?

Needless to say, my husband, my children and my 6 perfectly adorable grandchildren, but beyond that: a good book on a rainy afternoon, a really good cup of coffee with a hot cinnamon roll, sitting across from our best friends on a Thursday evening and taking my shoes off and putting my feet up after a good long walk. I could go on and on because I am one very blessed woman with lots of wonderful things in my life. Mom

A few of my favorite things are baby feet, turning up my favorite music really loud and singing along, listening to George and Nolan pray, orange leaves against a dark gray sky, and the sound of rain.

Singing in the car, miles of corn fields, thunderstorms, and taking NAPS! =)
