It has been brought to my attention that a week has passed since I posted a list of any kind! This must be some sort of a record for me.
I found this one on our Gretchen's blog. I hope she will forgive me for my devious act of thievery. So, without further ado (and I still wish someone would tell me exactly how long an ado is or what an ado is)....a list. From me.
My Favorite Things...
with apologies to Rodgers & Hammerstein
Sound – Children laughing, a gentle rain at the windows, crickets on a Summer's evening, a cat's purring.
Late night snack – Popcorn, Coke, brownies, chocolate chip cookies..perhaps even all at once!
Smell - Coffee brewing, lilacs, cinnamon, fresh pine.
Color combination - Blues & browns, blues and whites or yellows, reds and black.
Nut – Macadamia
Time of the year - Autumn...I doubt this is a huge surprise!
Author – John Steinbeck
Vegetable - Steamed broccoli, zucchini, fresh corn.
Male Actor - Hmmm...this one is so difficult for me. Okay, if I must give you an answer...there is this man, tall guy...older, been around a long time...Dennehy something...oh yeah. Brian Dennehy. And this is a shock to whom?
Flower – Daisies, roses, lilacs, hydrangea.
Vacation spot – New York City, Chicago, San Fransisco
Pizza – Deep dish, pepperoni, lots of different cheeses, sweet peppers, mushrooms, garlic.

TV channel – The History Channel, HGTV, BBC America, PBS, TNT for "Law and Order" reruns...
Radio station - Any oldies station...and yes. I am an oldie.
Holiday - Thanksgiving. Hands down. Love the meaning behind the day, the way we all slow down before the mad rush, the food, the traditions, the Macy's Parade, the football.
Perfume -Sunflowers, Cashmere, Philosophy's Grace and Falling In Love
Shoes – Anything comfortable. Usually flats or with a stack heel. LOVE boots.
Candy – M & Ms, Twizzlers, Junior Mints or Hershey's Kisses.

Item to shop for – Books, antiques, household items and more books.
Nothing earth shatteringly new for me to divulge I know but fun. And, guess what? It is R.A.I.N.I.N.G. I almost did not recognize the sound. I think we will all go to bed and enjoy this luxury from the Heaven's....'night dear friends!
Hugs,
Susie Q
