1) Being called, Babe, Honey, Sweetheart, Mommy, Mamasan and Momo.

2) Frozen sour gummy worms

3) Oregon Ducks football

4) J reaching over to hold my hand when we sleep.

5) the beauty of the Northwest

6) oatmeal for breakfast

7) talking to my dad about sports

8) Surprise text messages

9) My puppies dancing for joy when they greet me at the door

10) Poppycock

What are some of your favorite things?

Oooooooh, Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

Truly ya know by now it doesn't take much to set me off. I sang this solo in competition when I was in High School. Now, it's shoved all the carols outta my head and stuck right there.

I do love your list and now I need to try your frozen sour gummy worms.

I love the laughter of grandchildren, my hubs face when I walk in a room, joinin' friends anywhere, the warmth of a fire, the glow a Christmas tree give a room, chocolate anything but most of all my Lord and Savior. Woohoo!!!

The list could go on but it would be like that song that never ends.

God bless you sweetie and have a glorious day!!!

Frozen sour gummy worms sound intriguing. Might need to try those. I alternate each morning between oatmeal and grits. Today was oatmeal. =) Poppycock is addictive and I've banned it from my house.

Reading aloud to my sweetie before he falls asleep; a call from any of my children; the foolishness of my cat; the faces of my granddaughters; fish and chips for lunch at our favorite little place; a sunny day anywhere.

Sweet list of favorite things. My most favorite things would be little arms reaching around my neck for a hug and hearing the words I love you grandma.

Boy, I will join you on the Poppycock or Moose Munch if I can get it. I'm not a fan of oatmeal unless it's in a cookie and I am not a fan of sour anything. I loved being called Nana by those little voices. That's special.

I love to freeze my yogurt! Just enough to make it slushy! I love cucumber slices in my water! I love to eat grits and cream of rice or wheat and oatmeal!
I love Christmas, my phamily, I love the smell of Jayden our precious new baby in the phamily!
I hope your Christmas was beautiful just like you!

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray.

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
