20 Little Things I Love

This is a post of random little things I love.  In no particular order.

1. I love things that are really really white.  Like really white ice cream, white statues like at the Punchbowl, white marshmallows, really white book pages, white paint, and the St. George temple.

2. I love starting a new book, and I love first lines.  I sometimes judge a book by its first line.

3. I love pomegranates, especially that first bite after I've worked hard to get all those little seeds out. Yum.

4. I love Christmas music, any and all.

5. I love ribbon.  All kinds.  Twine, string, grosgrain, ric rac, satin, wide, narrow, all different colors.  I could just bathe in all varieties of ribbon.

6. I love the sound of tires crunching on icy snow.

7. I love the feel of the pages of my scriptures.

8. I love big belly laughs.  I don't have a very good laugh, so I love it when I hear someone else with a really good laugh.  Wes's laugh is my very favorite.

9. I love warm slippers on my feet and warm PJ's on my body, during any time of year.

10. I love the music from Somewhere In Time.

11. I love working on a 1000 piece puzzle that takes several days to finish.

12. I love the sound of a spoon stirring around in a mug of hot chocolate.

13. I love playing board games, especially when I don't have anywhere to go or anything else to do, and I have fun people to hang out with, and I can just play to my heart's content.

14. I love sitting around the campfire on a summer camp trip when I'm all ready for bed and all I have to do is climb in my sleeping bag.

15. I love Girls Camp.  Loved it as a girl, loved it even more as a leader.

16. I love how snow covered mountains look against a bright blue sky, particularly on a sunny Spring day in Cache Valley when the trees are really green.

17. I love all colors of blue.

18. I love dresses and my 3 favorite dresses from my younger days are:  age 16 gray Homecoming Gunne Sax, age 19 white sailor style dress with mermaid bottom, and age 22 black and white polka dot dress with white Peter Pan collar.

19. I love ceramics, plates, dishes, mugs, bowls, all different kinds.  I love wandering through the pottery at craft fairs.

20. I love when the lights go down and the previews start and I've got an excellent seat at a new movie that I've been waiting to see.

That is funny. One of my pet peeves is the sound of a spoon in a glass. Hate it. But I love some of your other loves.
