A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
psue - I remember Lincoln Logs. We had a set when I was a child. They are great toys. The plastic wouldn't do it. Amazing they are still available.
I order evergreen scented candles from the same company every Christmas and save the little tins for GD so she can store odds and ends in them.
Speaking of log cabins and favorite things, I decided to order a set of Lincoln Logs this year so my GD can construct villages on my console table as Christmas decorations. Egads, the price!
So I ordered a big off-brand set called ‘Wooden Logs’ - much cheaper. I got them yesterday. They are plastic. Rookie Amazon mistake! I’m sending them back and have already ordered a much smaller Lincoln Log set at a much higher price. I figure I can add sets to it over the years. In about 10 years (and several hundred dollars) I should have the village I envisioned, and maybe a great grandchild to build it!
And smells like pine, it is by far one of my favorite winter things.

Hubby let me design it. The ceiling is wood wainscoting, the walls are T-11 siding stained slate blue. I found a red velvet couch at a thrift store.
Decor, an old lobster trap hanging in one corner, antique lantern in the other. A wagon wheel on one wall, with an old fox fir stole, turkey back end feathers, black powder muskets. And old record player and records. Lots of windows and plants.
I'm just sitting here feeling so proud. It's my happy place! In the colder months, I turn on my electric fireplace heater.

Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Way up high...
Great song as sung by Judy Garland and also I love the version by IZ -Israel Kamakawiwoʻole

Is where you'll find me.
It is really really true that no good deed goes unpunished.
I never learned to wait to be asked to help. I just see a need, and fil it.
They way we degrade are selves,
Into smallness
Is abuse.

Let's not abuse are selves
My boys loved Space Balls
That sounds truly beautiful ❤️
Some find peace at the beach, me personally I'm not a fan of sand in places I don't want sand, or sharks for that matter.
I love mountains and streams, walks in the woods is my peace. In the dead of winter, not so much, but sounds utterly beautiful.
On most difficult words to say. Another contender.
“I don’t know.”
My DH calls it “What’sThisHereSauce” .
Bundle,
Enjoy your crush.
stay tuned. 🤓
Those were Judy Garland's lyrics!
One of my other favorites is Eva Cassidy singing
Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
"I was wrong"
"I need help"
and
Worcestershire sauce.
