Toys and Games: Merry Christmas

May Your Days Be Merry and Bright and May all your Christmases be White!!

These toys are from the recent 'Colonial Christmas' program at our local library.

Here's a list of some of my favorites...

Joshua Alexander(AKA Squishie; grandson #1 :)
the smell of the ADK woods; pine, sand, water at the pond
smooth, beautiful beach rocks
coming home and always getting a hug from Steve
my bro Jim, and John, and Carol; and their families
hearing from an old friend; even tho' we know we won't keep writing back and forth
my baby sister, Suzi
beautiful paper... handmade, expensive, beautiful, bright, unexpected, complementary, fragile, sturdy
belly laughs
clever nieces and a nephew!
buffleheads on the lake
carp chaos
Christmas; decorating the tree with lights and old ornaments my kids made when they were little.
crispy winter days, when your nose freezes inside your nostrils and the snow crunches under your feet
Each of my children... each is my favorite
England, the thought of walking old streets, going in old shops, spitting in the English Channel
Godiva, mailed in dry ice in the summer
horseback riding with Sharah or Misti
junk drawers
little leaf boats in a stream, where do they go?
my brothers, they don't know how much I love them
My grand-doggers; Ember and Maya
my sister-in-law Kathy, my brother-in-law Chris- Jenny (Jeremy's wife); Brian (Misti's loyal and loving bf), ): they put up with a really wierd family and handle it very well. Sorry, guys.
old pictures of my grandparents and parents; makes me feel part of the continuum
phone calls and birthday cards from my kids
puppets, faces on ordinary things
Reader's Digest stories
sand between my toes from the ocean or Loren pond
my nieces and nephew
silky ribbons
sleeping in a tent, waking up cold and making a fire
sunrises
sunsets
the smell of the woods in the Adirondacks
velvet, eyelet lace, and denim
walking barefoot
warm summer days
when my students come to hang out in my classroom, and know I'm busy, but hang out anyway
