My Favorite Things . . .

 

A few of the things in life that make my heart go pitter pat. Maybe they will do the same thing for yours. ♥♥♥    I'm pretty sure however, that these things mainly make my own heart sing.

Sunsets . . .  I could sit and watch a sunset forever and never tire of looking. The colors are so magical and yet it only lasts a few minutes, which makes it all the more special. The most beautiful sunset I have ever seen was on a train travelling from London up to Chester.  Absolutely stunning, with more golds and reds and purples than I had ever seen before or since.  And my boys were with me which made it all the more special.

Sunflowers  . . .  they always make me smile.  I don't think a person alive could look at a field of sunflowers and not feel something.  They are so bright and sunshiny. I just love them.

So many happy memories of popcorn nights with the kids when they were growing up.  Good times.  I can't eat the stuff now, but I do love it  . . . 

And those are my favorite things for this week. Perhaps some of them were also some of yours!

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Cheesy Zucchini & Corn Bake. Making the most of seasonal ingredients.  Delicious! 

I had a nice time with Dad and his friends last night. Those waitresses sure make a fuss over my dad. He enjoys every minute of it. My sister and I need to go to the fabric store this morning so we are going to pick him up on the way and drop him off at the A&W so he can do his morning thing. It will be a bit later then usual, but hopefully he will enjoy it anyways!

Whatever you get up to today, enjoy yourselves and don't forget!
