Favorite Things...

The holiday buzz has receded, 

my decorations have been packed away until next year and things are back to normal.

It's cold and gray outside,

which led me to think about my favorite things from this year...

It's funny how I don't recall all of them on my own but when I go through my pictures I remember.

This was my favorite new meal...

Creamy Tuscan Sausage Pasta with fresh Basil from my garden.

We had a lot of beautiful sunsets but this one was my favorite.

Joining a Book Club was one of the favorite things I did...

Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers

was my favorite book and one of the only ones I finished.

I made these bookmarks for friends, they were easy and fun to make.

These were a few of my favorite knits...

I put fluffy white pom-poms on the purple hats for my favorite great nieces Addie and Lorelei.

No pom-pom for the gray one for son Mike. 

Banana Bread ~ one of my favorite baked treats.

Favorite Flowers

Favorite Sushi 

Favorite Live Show

Favorite Activity

I really enjoy fireworks and I miss seeing them during the winter.

I have a favorite movie, I will share it during the second part of my favorite things!

Happy New Year
