My Favorite Things...

Lighting my morning candle for someone I know and love who is going through a personal challenge

Riding on my John Deere

Thundersnow

Reading a New York newspaper

The first day of spring

Hearing one of my favorite songs on the radio

Easter Sunday

Walking alone on a snowy night

Black coffee and a New York bagel

Listening to my niece or nephew singing to me over the phone

Black raspberry ice cream with lots of chocolate jimmies

Swedish iced tea (my Nanny's recipe)

Central Park

Anything cinnamon

Getting 'signs' from my Angels

The first car on a roller coaster

Watching snow fall

Championship games

Delivering the unexpected to my clients

Aunty-Jo's Meatballs

Dirt under my fingernails (from happily digging
in my gardens!)

Defending the Defenseless

Mashed potatoes and gravy

The sound of snow crunching under my boots

Morning thunderstorms

A 2-week old haircut

Sitting in a cool river drinking champagne

Wet, stinky kisses from Spencer and Periwinkle

Looking deeply into the eyes of a dog

Finishing a cross-word puzzle

Needlepointing by the fire

Watering the lawn early in the morning

Questioning the Answers

May 13, 1995

5:00pm at the beach

My favorite church hymns

My red "Kentucky Derby" baseball hat

The smell of fresh-cut grass

Barking seagulls on the beach

A "New York City" attitude

A blazing campfire

Sinking the 8 ball on the break

A Saturday night poker game with friends

The Triple Crown

A mountain river in the snow

Realizing that the slow-poke in front of me is simply
my guardian angel at work

The Denver Broncos

When the Yankees beat the Red Sox

How email has renewed age-old friendships

White Castle double-cheeseburgers

The cool, underside of my pillow

Getting "refrigerator art" from my niece and nephew

Ripped sweat pants

Anything cotton

My mother, my best friend

My convertible, loud music, country road

Watching my sister in law Irish step-dancing

The smell of Autumn

The Little Rascals

Painted toe nails and tanned feet at the end of
faded jeans

Fried eggplant with fresh romano cheese

Being productive

Making my sister laugh so hard she cries

Music from the 20's, 30's & 40's

Sunday afternoons...beating the spread!
