  1. Oh what a great list. I focused in on that pot roast! I need to cook one! I loved your blog the minute I opened it and saw your heading. It's really pretty too. Thanks for coming by and leaving your sweet Christmas comment. I noticed you linked I haven't looked yet. I will as soon as I answer comments! Thanks for joining me.

  4. That pie looks good!
    Sometimes in the business of life, it's "therapeutic" to take a moment and count all the little blessings like smoothies and singing in the shower. :)

    I hope you are having a wonderful week, Mrs. Lane!

    Blessings and Prayers,
    Ty

  7. I just love your "first love" item--rainy days. That just shows such a love of life to me at least. Only people with happy spirits would ever put a rainy day first or even last on a list of favorite. You must be a real fun person to be with! Lord bless!

  9. What a fun way to remember to stop and be thankful. A few of my favorite things are arrowhead sparkling raspberry lime water, playing games with my husband, morning breath hugs from my children, and heated mattress pads in the winter. Thanks for reminding me to take a moment and be thankful this morning. Stopping by from Thriving Thursdays.

  14. I agree/concur on all of that list (exception of Lowell, my husband would be on listed, LOL). I am though loving the very fact we now live in a very much warmer climate. smiles

  16. I love your list. I have been very nostalgic lately as my Mom slips further and further away from us into her own little world of dementia. It seems that everything from childhood is my favorite right now. No one could cook a roast as good as Mom's. And she was always famous for her pies.

    1. Dear Lana,
      I am so sorry your mom and your family are going through this. Dementia is cruel indeed. Praying for your family now.
      Hugs,

God bless you! This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!
