The sound of music and my favorite things  |
| |
| 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? | | Kitten and Snowflakes | | | | |

| | My most treasured possession is my baby bracelet. It has 2 joined hearts and my name engraved on it. My second most treasured possession is a photo of my parents on their wedding day. If I was only allowed to save 2 personal items from my house, those would be the 2 I would choose. | | | | | | |

| | That was quite a challenging question. There is barely anything material that I would be very upset about losing. If the house fell down I'd be annoyed, but you could rebuild it. If my car gets totaled, I'll replace it. It's the same with material possessions. For me most of my really deep treasures are memories. Holding my daughter for the first time (which I did before her mother). My first day at school. My Grandmother who I adored. My wedding. Being with my Dad in France when I could afford to take him instead of the other way round. Being with my mother in law when she died. These are all very deeply etched memories. Possessions wise. My signet ring that my parents gave me when I was 21. My wedding ring. We had no money at all and I had just been turned down for a (further) loan. We saw the ring for £11! Between us we somehow found the cash. It's not been off my finger except to wash for 21 years. I have the family's entire old photograph collection which I am slowly turning into photo books. I'd hate to lose those. I am also tracing our family tree. I have a lot of documents that relate to family members long dead. None are irreplaceable but I wouldn't want to lose them. I have two original paintings by quite famous artists. I'd be sorry to lose them. Looks quite a lot when I read back. But I don't think that there is anything else. | | | | | | |

| | I don't know why but your response brings to mind one of my all time favorite movies called American Beauty. Have you seen it? At the end when he dies it depicts him recalling his life and different images. I was always touched by that scene. | | | |

| | I have heard of it but not seen it. I am afraid that I don't do movies too often. Last time I actually went to a cinema was to see The Full Monty! That must be about 10 years ago. | | | |

| | My treasured things are my Nanas teaset which i keep next to her picture on a shelf, my special pictures of each family member, a cross that my son gave me at my wedding and the upcoming love of my special grandchild to be born. Oops and of course my wedding ring my husband gave me. Donna | | | | | | |

| | I wish I had something left from my Nanna, but unfortunately I don't. My mother may have something she will leave me from her one day. | | | |

| | Its one of those songs that kind of gets stuck in your head, isn't it? I don't start my new job until the 18th and even then its just for a few hours of training in the evening to start. Which is good, because it gives me the opportunity to get a few things done in the interim. I have my liver biopsy on the 14th, which means being in outpatient for most of the day. Better I get that over with before I start. YUCK! | | | |

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

| | 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. | | | | | | |
