My Favorite things . . .

 

A few of the things that make me smile, bring happiness and joy, and make my heart go pitter pat. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say its worth a thousand smiles. 

Diadamy and her pink hair.  Love, LOVE this sweet Blythe doll, and not the least because she reminds me of a sweet friend.  I need to make her some clothes. I need to make Luna some clothes.  I need to play a little bit more.

Surprises in the post. I got this surprise package yesterday from my old friend Eileen. We have been friends for over 62 years now, having met in kindergarten many moons ago.  Two lovely pottery mugs that her daughter actually made, some lovely herbal teas and a pot of her homemade strawberry jam that she knows I love.  Most of all I love that we are still friends after all these years.  She came and spent some time with me when I lived in the UK actually, when I was living on the Estate. My oldest daughter Eileen is named after her. 

It is incredibly unusual for a Military Brat (me) to have maintained a friendship for so many years.  We move around so much.

A new favorite thing with me is this beautifully delicious Braised Cabbage with Horseradish Cream that I made the other day.  I love cabbage and this was fabulous!

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday. I hope that you get to enjoy at least a few of your favorite things today!  Whatever you do, wherever you go, don't forget!
