41) A three-year old reaching up to hold my hand during a prayer.
42) The same three-year old enthusiastically whispering, "He said heaven!", while listening to the sermon.
43) Spending the afternoon in the kitchen baking cookies, rolling out pie crusts, measuring, and mixing; happily covered in a dusting of flour.
44) Cleaning the house with Big Band/Swing music playing in the background, eventually becoming a one-person dance party with the mop and a dust rag.
45) Bottle-feeding calves
46) Wandering around the garden section of Lowe's, admiring all the flowers and choosing which ones to plant in my yard.
47) Bluegrass music
48) Shelby's homemade cinnamon rolls
49) Certain smells that bring back great memories; the scent of bacon frying in an iron skillet and the aroma of coffee wafting through the house almost always meant Grandma and Grandpa were there for a visit when I was a kid. Cinnamon and woodsmoke remind me of Grandma's house during deer season. Sunblock reminds me of Grandma and Grandpa's house because we spent so much time at the beach.
50) Washing windows with Windex; it is very satisfying to start with a muddy window and end with a spotless sheet of glass.
51) Climbing a tree, finding a good limb, and settling in to read a book and eat an apple.
52) Vegan Fruit Twists from Wegmans--a healthy alternative to Fruit Roll-Ups.
