My Favorite Things . . .

 

Sharing today a few things that I really love to do, eat, experience, enjoy  . . .  maybe you will enjoy them too.

 

Spending time with family.  I really enjoyed spending time with my brother while he was down and I always enjoy spending time with my sister, my father, my daughter, sons, grandchildren, etc.  Family is everything and I am so grateful for mine.

Thanksgiving Dinner. It is something I look forward to every year and we get to enjoy it this weekend!  I love every bit of it. The turkey, the stuffing, cranberries, potatoes, etc.  I am really looking forward to it!

My bowl of yarn balls. I love it. It adds a nice spark of color to my coffee table. So far the cats are not bothered by it. That suits me fine!

Seeing all of the pumpkins, squashes and gourds at the local farm markets.  There doesn't seem to be as many this year as last. Perhaps it was a bad year for growing them, but I do so love to see all the colors. They are so bright and cheerful!

Pancakes  . . . I just love pancakes. They were not something we had really often when I was growing up. Maybe once a year on Pancake day.  I used to make them for my own children quite a bit. Now I am old and on my own, they have become something very rare again.

This. I love the book of Proverbs in the Bible and the Psalms as well.  I think they are both beautifully written and they read like poetry. And I adore poetry.

Embroidered linens.  I think of the hands that plied the needle. Works of love  . . .

Smiles.  When someone gives you a smile they are sharing a tiny part of their soul with you. I love smiles.  A smile cannot help but brighten your day in some way.

Crochet blankets. Are these not beautiful? So pretty.

Changing colors and misty mornings  . . .

Glass Door Knobs. If I could ever own my own home I would have glass door knobs. They are so beautiful  . . .

Apples  . . . love the taste and the smell of apples. I prefer them cooked over raw, but that is just me.  I love the smell of them in the farm markets at the moment.  Mom always loved the smell of McIntosh apples.

Red barns. If I had a barn I would paint it red.

Always  . . . 

And those are my favorite things for this week.  I hope you enjoyed them!

I had a lovely supper out with Dad and Hazel last night.  I decided to take a chance and splurge and ordered myself the house steak for my supper.  Its not cheap, and there are a bazillion ways in which it can go wrong. I was pleasantly surprised as it was perfectly cooked and I enjoyed every bite of it.  So yummy.  I also enjoyed being with my father very much. 

Yesterday morning I got to go on  a road trip with Cindy as well, so yesterday was a really great day!

A thought to carry with you  . . .

In The English Kitchen today . . .  Old Fashioned Potato Doughnuts. Quite simply delicious and a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes!

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday!  Be happy and stay safe!  We are supposed to get some nasty weather this weekend, so  I will be making hay while the sun shines!  Whatever you get up to, don't forget!
