My Favorite Things . . .

 

These are some of the things in life that I enjoy, and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Let's share! 

Putting a smile on my father's face.  He loves to go out to eat.  This was not something he ever really got to do when he was a child. Unheard of. He was so happy for us to go to Swiss Chalet with him yesterday and he really enjoyed his meal. That made me happy. I enjoyed mine as well. The chicken was moist and tender, not at all dry.  The fries were good.  I really had no complaints. Plus, we got Lindt truffles to take home with us. No complaints there either! I love my father so much. I don't know how much longer we will have him with us and these small things mean a lot to him. Sharing a meal out with his family. Even if it isn't our choice of place to go. Being there with him is everything. We are building memories that will be cherished. That are cherished.
