Favorite Things List

I finally came up with a Favorite Things List from this past Thanksgiving week. These are in no particular order. I liked them all the same.

1. The great kids that you get to be around at Thanksgiving when families get together. Firstly they are cute. Then they say these things that make you wonder "How did they think of that?"
Then they get into mischief (which you love because that's the stuff you used to do). Then they get tired and quiet till something new catches their attention.

2. The grownups- Making jokes and laughing so that none of the pics you take come out perfect! We took this pic three times and this was the most SANE of them all. Everybody in this pic is from another country. Haiti, Spain and Trinidad!
The guys are somewhere in the background making us laugh

3. Lackawanna Blues: This is a must see (will make you cry though-be warned)

4. Novelty bottle (There was a sombrero attached to it) of Sangria that your friend (Janice) brings you from Barcelona.

5. The Girl With the Pearl Earring: Why didn't I see this sooner!

6. Cheese Fries (the best in Tally so far) on a Saturday afternoon, when you're starving, at Bannerman's. The waitress saved our bill under the tile "Two Ladies". It was interesting to see it on the bill itself. "Two Ladies- total 12.37"

7. Church after Thanksgiving: Everybody is rearing to go! The message is always something you needed at that time. This week's message was on that yearning/longing/hole inside of all of us that needs to get filled and the only thing that can really fill it is GOD. I'll do a whole blog of this later, but I really liked it. When you feel inside that you are searching for something and no matter how much you buy, what relationship you are in, how much tv you watch, whatever addiction you indulge in, nothing can fill that empty place......

8. World Market: The British Section- clotted cream, salami and water crackers for dinner YUM. The cashiers are so friendly well at least the one we had. He talked to us for a while about everything going on in the store.

9. Fresh Market: Caramel and Cheese popcorn in the same bag!

10. The guy at Publix deli who feels comfortable enough to say that you're weird because you don't want any of the dinner combinations that they offer but want to mix and match, then asking you nutrition and food questions. He then finds out that what you tell him is the same stuff his Mom had been telling him for YEARS!

10. Like Water for Chocolate.
