going to sleep with the sound of lake waves lapping on the shore

and last but not least...drum roll..........

 

the choclate cake I'm getting ready to eat.  

Sleeping on a cruise ship, rocking on the ocean.

sitting in tall grasses on the cliffs by the ocean, the smell of salt air, the song of the birds...

Sitting on the shores of Lake Michigan, watching the waves come in.......... And breating fresh northern Michigan air.

 

Other than this, taking a bite out of a great big Red Haven peach and making a mess out of myself while doing so.....

 

Nacho!

my 3 kids, my 2 grandkids, my 3 greatgrandsons

sushi

Red Velvet Cake

my dog's sighs as he lays down to nap beside me as I read my books....

snapdragons

postcards from friends from all over the world

a stranger's "thank you!" when I open a door, or let them into line ahead of me

any Library

watching the wildlife wander through my backyard

sleeping late on Saturday mornings

 

 

and, mostly, just being alive

a cat nose pushing against the bed covers, trying to come underneath

puppy breath

my sisters unflappable love and care for me

a hot shower after being outside in the bitter cold

the look, smell and sound of the ocean

my house right after the maid leaves

wibur the cat breathing sort of wheezy when hes sleeping

norman the cat having the hiccups

a cat dreaming and making little cat noises

hanging out with the people at fmh

Norman the cat tearing thru the apartment jumping at the walls like hes insane

finding 5 dollars in a pocket, i didnt know was there
