Happy list

-most recent CD mix from Kenna - it fills my heart and home with familiar goodness; we both can't get enough - love Tanya Donelly. Thanks, bro.
-extra fancy Vietnamese Cassia CINNAMON from Penzeys
-brooches I made while watching Oprah to keep my wraps in place, in style
-vacation photo book hot of the press from Kodak
-Christmas menu ironed out: sweet goat cheese wontons with pistachios & honey, crab hush puppies, prime rib with red wine gravy, maple-glazed spiced carrots, and cheese cake (we don't eat raw fruits & vegetables in this family)
-quiet kitties, which = quiet and CALM home
-beach weekend with mom & Rhonda next weekend
-trip down south for Thanksgiving to visit the grandmas, see the cousins, meet new little ones, and maybe eat here; we might also get to fly with Matt, Ryan's cousin in Eugene, who's making the very same pilgrimage we are
-home-made Christmas gifts and a drawer full of simple holiday goodies quickly piling up
-husband home from more field work

Ah yes. There is, indeed, much to be grateful for, as usual.

Thank you Emily, for posing the question! What is your happy list today?
