Wasn't that a song in the Sound of Music? Well yesterday while I was waiting for the computer to do something I started looking at a few websites and it made me think about some of my favorite things, right now anyway. And of course you always have your want list! Anyway I thought I would post a few of my favorites along with one or two wants, just for fun.
Two years ago this August I saw a pair of Sanuk's and knew that day that I would have to have some, now they are my favorite shoes. I have three pairs of "Sidewalk Surfers" (Donny, Vagabond and Dylan) and one pair of "beer cozy" flip-flops. About that same month we went to New Orleans to visit a friend and I fell in love with New Orleans, we love food and this was the perfect place for anything to do with food. Chargrilled Oysters, or oysters of any type have been one of my favorites for years. A Muffuletta sandwich from the Central Grocery is one of the highlights of going to New Orleans as well as a visit to Cafe Du Monde for some Beignets and Cafe Au Late. Some more summer favorites are tomato sandwich, peaches, watermelon, home made ice cream and squash casserole – I told you I like food.
Favorite places to go in the summer, easy, any lake! Since Lake Lanier has gotten so crowded we go to Lake Hartwell a lot now and I love spending the day riding and pulling my girls while they ski, tube or kneeboard. Since our boat is over 15 years old now a new boat would be on my want list. I would also like to go to some of the mountain lakes more, but they are a little too far away. My favorite thing now is my Float
Chair, I love floating around in this chair! I love to kneeboard, but can't do it much this year since I hurt my back, hopefully I can start back soon.
This past Saturday we were in Spartanburg, SC watching a slalom competition and on the way home stopped by A&W/Long John Slivers for lunch. Nothing better than a cold root beer on a hot day, I love it. Boylan's Root Beer is one I found several years ago and is my very favorite, but that draft A&W sure was good!
TV, I love TV! And I am addicted to my DVR! You gotta have a Tivo. This summer we have started watching Glee. We have been hooked on 24 for years and don't know what we will do next year. The Amazing Race is not only a show we love to watch, we want to be on it. Big Bang Theory is one we started watching this year and it is hilarious. And oh how I miss Boston Legal.
I love to read, and I just found a great site for trading books. I had stacks of books everywhere and since finding Swaptree I have cut way back on my trips to the bookstore and also cut back on some of the clutter. Just list the books you have and the books you want and it will find trades for you. You only have to pay for postage, and it works with games, movies and music too!
Well enough for now. Enjoy your week, I bet I will be talking about photography next time!
Oh, one more. My favorite family camera, the one we use for family photos – not work. The Canon G9, which is now out of production so it would be now the G11. This is a great camera, and it is better than a lot of bigger cameras with a lot less bulk.
So I guess a camera did come into this after all.
