The best things in life...

Planning adventures & making them realities

Long talks with old friends
Peanut butter
Handmade quilts
The enthusiastic greeting I receive from my dogs every time I return, whether it has been 5 minutes, or 4 months
Autumn leaves
Old typewriters
Homemade pie crust
Children's books
Norman Rockwell paintings
Play-Doh
Fruit Orchards
Sending & receiving handwritten letters
Peach tea
The smell of woodsmoke from a fireplace
Crayola crayons
Hot apple cider
Reading a book that is so intriguing, the rest of the world fades away and I stay up until 2 a.m. to finish the story
Mechanical pencils
Big band/swing music (happiest music I've ever heard)
Libraries
Christmas trees (the real ones with the sharp, pine smell)
Gathering seashells along the shore
Yellow roses--sunshine on a stem
Taking long walks by myself to think
Snow
Laundry hanging outside on a line to dry

Kicking off my flip-flops and running through the sand to the edge of the ocean
Sending flowers to people
Singing and dancing in the rain
Front porches
Rocking a baby to sleep
