My Favorite Things

I'm going to need all you "Sound of Music" fans to use your imagination and sing with me on this one. Everyone else...you can chalk this up to me being a bit loony! ;-)

I've made a little list so far of My Favorite Things in our new house! The list is actually a bit longer, but these are the ones that rhyme. ;-)

Are you ready? Start singing!


Deer in the backyard

High counters in kitchen,
Garage door with windows,
Our own re-cycle bin.

More room than I ever thought I would see...
(though messy at the time of this post...you see our Living Room, Media Room & Game Room)

these are a few of my favorite things!


A shorter commute time
And soft fluffy carpet
2 large bay windows
And a filtered faucet

Watch the kids play from our shaded wood swing...these are a few of my favorite things!


When the dog barks,

When the kids scream,
When traffic's really bad,
I simply remember my favorite things...
and then I don't feel....sooo sad!


(Ok, obviously my real favorite things are a little more substantial like my family, my faith, etc. But these definitely top my list of house favorites! Hope you enjoyed!)

WOW! As The Sound of Music's NUMBER ONE FAN (seriously), you did a really good job of matching the rhythm and rhyme of your version to the original. I sang the whole thing in my head as I read! FUN! I'm so happy for y'all and that this is now settled and you can start ENJOYING your house!
