OMG!!!!!! Honestly, 99 percent of your favorite things are honestly mine, except for 7 & 21 (I don't know what they are) and the rain. The rain makes me sad. I don't like feeling sad.

Great list but I have to go look some of these things up.
ReplyDeleteA fun list. I found myself nodding in agreement at many of them. I like skirts that swish, dark chocolate, tomatoes and basil... maybe I'll do my own post!
ReplyDeleteYour mother makes #27?! ☺☺☺
ReplyDelete(This reminds me of asking my daughter where the pillow now resisded. She said, "on my bed." I nearly keeled over. I was quite certain it would join all the other things I've given her that live in the hallway.)
You have selected a few things that arouse my curiosity so I will need to do research. I love the English countryside, too, when it looks like a manor house. (I hope that you know I'm just teasing.)
resisded? Oh forget it. I can't be responsible for misspellings and typos and get anything accomplished.
ReplyDeletei LOVE your list. and i agree with everything on it. except i'm more rock and roll.
