For some reason I can't get the song "A Few of my Favorite Things" out of my head so I thought I would do a list of my own:
Violets and Mums are my fav flowers;
Love to hear my nieces and nephews laughing;
Love my crazy gato, especialy when he flops at my feet;
Love my family very much;
Music, music and more music (La Boheme-Musetta's Waltz...it's timeless...a woman complaining about her shoes??!!);
every Stephen King book ever written (The Stand and the Dark Tower books are at the top of the list);
Jane Austen;
my friend Aileen's enchilladas;
Lord of the Rings and of course The Hobbit;
cheese; watermelon;
cucumber sandwiches made by my aunt;
My Man Godfrey (not the one with June Allison and David Niven-Allison is just shrill in it);
Pan's Labryinth (like all of del Torro's work- his DP does wonderful things with color);
The Watchmen both the graphic novel and the movie;
Downey fabric softener-when I was a kid we didn't have $$$ for toys and we used to play with the plastic bottles;
Shelbyville, Indiana...loved playing in the pastures, running in the fields and making houses out of snow drifts it was the coolest place to grow up sorry that we had to leave;
Battlestar Galactica...Eddie Olmos has a wonderful voice;
Turkey Hill Sugar Free Dutch Chocolate ice cream;
making bread and cooking in general (would've liked to try beef wellington but I don't eat beef anymore);
washing dishes...it's theraputic;
people watching at airports...fascinating what people do;
my grandmother's shoefly pie...sadly the recipe died with her;
favorite memory, swimming with the dolphins with my niece and nephew; riding roller coasters with Mary; playing in the pool and paddling the boat around the pond in the mountains
