Remember that song "My Favorite Things" from the Sound of Music?Raindrops on roses, And whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles, And warm woolen mittens, Brown paper packages, Tied up with strings, These are a few of my favorite things . . . Cream colored ponies, An' crisp apple strudels, Doorbells an' sleigh bells, An' schnitzel with noodles, Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, These are a few of my favorite things . . . Girls in white dresses, With blue satin sashes, Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters, That melt into springs, These are a few of my favorite things . . . When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I'm feelin' sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel so bad . . . Roses....hmmm kittens... Kettles.......mittens.... La dee da, la dee da, La dee da, da, These are a few of my favorite things . . . When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I'm feelin' sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And little by little my heavy heart sings . . . And then I don't feel so bad . . . We all have things we treasure. Things that are special to us. Things that we never want to lose. Perhaps its photographs, or a bracelet your grandmother gave you. A pair of shoes, a pretty sweater. What ever it is what are some of your favorite things?

I've never known all the words to that song but I've liked it for years. Thanks for sharing the lyrics here. :D Soft colorful yarn for crocheting into a hat, scarf or sweater -- one of my favorite things.

They do make some lovely yarns now. I'm glad I provided the lyrics to a song you wondered about.

I think for most of us our pictures are our most prized possessions. A legacy to pass on to generations to come.
