Whiskers on kittens

New member
A co-worker of mine recently adopted a stray bedraggled starving kitten out of our company parking lot.
She took it to the vet, and has been feeding it tons of good food, and since she lives nearbyy we got treated to a visit today. He is still very tiny, but sleeker and shinier and a wonderful friendly purr machine.

I love kittens. So, I thought I'd start a thread about our favorite things.

Recently, someone (you know who you are Wade :roflmao:) mentioned that in my threads I did not always include my own answers to the questions I pose, so here is MY list of my favorite things:

Blue Bell ice cream
Having dinner at home with my grown kids when they come to visit, and hearing them talk about their lives.
My dogs and other critters
A good adventure or science fiction novel, with an afternoon to relax and read
Kids in general, they are wonderful, and families
Hearing a good rain when I don't have to get out and go anywhere
Lasagna, fried chicken, pizza, cannoli
Roses and daylilies
Old sterling silver jewelry
Led Zeppelin
Janis Joplin

So what are a few of YOUR favorite things?
 
Favorite things:

Afternoon conversations with the person I love.
Waking up to find a message from the person I love.
Snuggling with my boys.
The smell of my children in the morning during snuggle time.
Crunching on leaves in the fall
Serendipitously discovering money in an old jacket
Irony
Dreams revolving around departed family members
Thanksgiving
Christmas
Family
Friends
Falling in love when it was least expected
Getting back in touch with old friends
Signing into facebook and seeing a 1st grade photo posted that included my late sibling
The smell of burning leaves
These are just a few of my favorite things.
