SOME OF THE THINGS I LIKE

part two

old western movies

specifically ones with John Wayne

pumpkins of all shapes and sizes

the name Caroline

rain, rain, rain for days

mermaids

charcoal-smudged fingers

the sound of a newborn baby cry

candles lit everywhere

a clean kitchen

farmhouses

my grandparents

moody music that sounds like something from a Victorian drama

reading in bed

spiral staircases

pleated skirts and wide-brimmed hats

wandering through an art museum

the moon

and the stars

velvet couches

waking up early (my parents will laugh at that; it's an acquired taste)

when he kisses me good morning

castles

great, big mountains

warm ocean water

drinking water out of old chocolate milk bottles

Wonka candy

foxes

floral art

the colors of autumn

tall socks

cozy sweaters

and wearing layers

days off of work -- specifically Saturdays with Nate

limeade

my beautiful sister

visiting home

October

the birthday song

being reunited with your best friend

words

high-waisted things

that clean smell and feel

freshly washed hair

morning walks

neighbors who smile and say 'good morning'

Anne of Green Gables

little potted plants

plaid wool ties

English farmsteads

Well, that was fun. Every item in this list came with a few happy memories; now I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Maybe there will be a part three in the future.
