Those are wonderful things, Jill! Berry lemonade and melon - I can imagine how nice that would be! I also love The Sound of Music - I haven't watched it in a very long time, but I remember the scene with My Favorite Things very well. You made me laugh about grinding your teeth - I've been ordered to wear a mouth guard at night to keep me under control. Hope you had a great holiday :)
I hope you had a lovely Christmas, Jill. A nice post, The Sound of Music is a great favourite of mine. My boys loved it and we watched it together 7 times and saw the theatre production. All the best for 2023.
My parents had the Broadway soundtrack album of The Sound of Music (and lots of other musicals), so my sister and I knew all the songs before the movie came out.
I think our holiday musical might be Fiddler on the Roof. We might watch that when our older child and their wife are here.
Lots of favorite things--the quiet of early mornings, my family, my cat, getting lost in the world of a novel, writing poetry . . .
So happy to see a puzzle with no missing pieces! Of course, a puzzle with any missing pieces would drive me crazy (short trip) with my (minor) OCD! Some of my favorite things are the little things that makes me happy: our three rescued furbabies, a Cajun hubby who cooks the meals, and contact from my family and friends! Large print books, eBooks, and audiobooks are favorites along with all kinds of puzzles. Merry Christmas, Jill, and y'all have Happy Holidays with loads of love and laughter! Love, Cheryl 🎅🏻🤶🏻⛪✝️🤗💖
What a fun idea for a post! Another blog friend recently admitted to not yet seeing The Princess Bride, so I guess your admission it's TOO scandalous. ;) One of my favorite things, obviously, is Donald! And my family. Good books, the TV show Frasier (rewatching currently), holiday breaks, tasty tea... etc. etc. etc. :)
Lovely post. A few of my faves: 1st cup of morning coffee, 1st glass of wine in the evening 🤣🤣🤣, crossing items off my To Do list, talking to strangers in the store checkout line, being with family, especially my grandkids, getting a good night’s sleep, feeling and being healthy…
Hi, Jill. Some of your favorite things are mine too, especially the candles and a special connection to the The Sound of Music. Cliff and I saw it 3 times the first week we met. He claims we fell in love watching it, so I'll go with that! I like our ducks as long as they stay swimming on the lake. Merry, merry Christmas to you and happy retirement too.
Although Christopher Plummer maintained a hatred for that film for nearly 50 years, IMO it was perfect casting. One of those movies I have seen umpteen times. My favorite holiday movie is "White Christmas" with Bing Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye, Vera-Ellen, and a super supporting cast. I drag it out every year and it never gets old. My favorite "things" include my cat, friends, coffee in the morning, walking anywhere, being able to get out of bed every morning to start a new day... Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a joyful 2023!
Donald and I have something in common. We don’t like cameras! I love “The Sound of Music”. As a child I had the soundtrack album and learned every word to every song! My favorite things are my cat, family and friends. Merry Christmas dear friend!
Ohhhhh, Jill! Now I have that song going through my head! The movie is on my list of favorite things. Others on the list: books, CoffeeMate Peppermint Mocha cream, books, peppermint tea, and books.
I'd say Donald was right hungry! I have a LOT of favorite things, so I'll name just a few. Writing, of course. Books. My grandmother's oil paintings. The Green Mountains. Exploring the back roads with my husband. Cookies!!
Love the video. That duck was showing you who was boss. We watched The Sound of Music this past weekend. It's so timeless. So much innocence! My favorite things? Cats, coffee and an unscheduled week!

Heehee. You too, Jill!
Madam, you have redeemed yourself.
;)
Good to know that Substack was done. I thought it was something that I was doing wrong. :0 Thank you for letting me know. Glad all is well know.
I'm trying this comment again, Jill.
I always love your Donald videos!

I love the feistiness in your duck! I might have to try the Mentos. Merry Christmas Happy New Year dear friend. Have a wonderful holiday.
