1. Unwrapping each Christmas ornament and remembering anew where and when it was acquired and feeling that deep in the heart feeling when I hang one made by one of my kids – so sweet – time goes so fast.

2. My precious baby Rose who is at that wonderful and trying age of 14. Called her to say goodnight last night (she was sleeping over at her friends) and she whispered into the phone “I’m playing hide ‘n seek mom and you’re kinda ruinin the game”. I had to laugh – one minute so grown up and the next still my little girl! Precious

3. Charles Dickens movies – “The Old Curiosity Shop” Love it

4. Sushi
5. The changing seasons – fresh snow, snow falling across the light of the streetlamp, snow twinkling in the moonlight, nature in all it’s GLORY
