When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad.

Sound of Music.  "My Favorite Things", Rogers and Hammerstein

Rose:  in a yard at Fern Ridge Shores RV Park, November 2009

Kitten:  Jeff and Cyndi's house (Jeff's cat).  Sound of Music is Jeff's  favorite movie. 

Package:  Given by Andy and Denae to everybody at Thanksgiving time  (because they won't be here at Christmas) — made us all think of this song

Apple streudel:  This past summer, our friends taught us how to make real apple streudel 

Geese:  On Bosque del Apache, New Mexico, Fall 2006

Plaid dress:  Our granddaughter Kelsey (all grown up and married now and living in South Carolina).  We missed her and Bradley at Thanksgiving and I remembered this picture, where she is helping me cook cranberries for Thanksgiving dinner a few years ago.

  4. Delightful precious post … perfect for the season! I love this song and enjoyed seeing your beautiful photos of some of your favorite things. Thanks for dropping by my Ruby post at Happily Retired Gal. To answer your question, my sister will be here for a while … though no telling just how long. Tomorrow we’ll all drive out to Hemet to spend Christmas Eve with my brother’s widow and their youngest son’s family. It’ll be our first holiday together in a long time … we’re all looking forward to it! Here’s wishing you and yours a joyous holiday!
    Hugs and blessings,

  5. One of my favorite songs. I sing it to count my blessing and cheer me up. Merry Christmas. HRT

  6. I love this post! Many of my favourite things are listed in that song (which is also one of my favourites!) Wishing you both a lovely Christmas and a happy and healthy new year xxx

  7. What a beautiful post. It is just perfect. I associate The Sound of Music with the holiday season as it is one we usually watch around this time. It seems like it used to be shown on TV a lot right after Christmas. Anyway, your pictures are so gorgeous. You are such a good photographer.
    Hope you are having a pleasant Christmas week in Oregon.
