Friday’s favorite things

I was doing some blog reading while waiting for the hardwoods to dry and came across Rachel’s blog … she hosts a weekly meme called (Friday) Favorite Things.  I can’t commit to a regular (Friday) Favorite Thing post, so I’m not going to link up.  But I did like the idea of listing some of my favorite things, so I’m going to steal borrow the idea.  Nothing really new … but I thought it was a fun look at the things that bring me joy.

And:

We enjoy working puzzles so much and have started to buy “souvenir” puzzles on our travels.  We like to reminisce about our visits while working the puzzles.
