FAVORITE THINGS

'These are a few of my favorite things', the Queen hummed softly.

The smell of freshly brewed coffee                   Gardenias                        Grand Tetons              Ferrari's      
               The taste of good coffee (Starbucks Americano)                 Turkey dinner              Dark Chocolate            New Snowfall                      Ribeye Steak             Horses, puppies & bunnies
            Sunrise (God painting watercolors)               Raindrops on Roses (of course we didn't forget)
and, oh yes------BOOKS!!!

BIG, little, to read, to look at, to have, new, old, real & unreal let us count the ways.    Oooops, we wander. We love to read them, discuss them, cherish them, have them.  In my world (IMW) there is a 'library'.  No, no.  Not that kind.  One of the old fashioned kind with walls of loved books, big comfy chairs with ottomans and a fireplace.

So with that said, We've been thinking of Top Ten Lists.

  First additions (teehee):  Favorite writer/authors ever:  God,  John Steinbeck, Ivan Doig, Susan Wittig Albert, Brock & Bodie Thoene, .....

Best Books --The Bible,  East of Eden, Steinbeck;  The Book Thief, Zusak;  The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas;  The Five People You Meet In Heaven,......

Just finished "Sweet Thursdays" by Steinbeck.  Hadn't even heard of it until we saw it at a library book sale (Oh!  Another Favorite Thing!) in paperback and snatched it up.  Sort of a continuation of "Cannery Row".  Big Sigh.  Oh Darn, It's The End.

Middle of the night IMW and we are tired.
