My Favorite Things (Today)

My favorite things change daily. Today my favorite things are:

1) Pepperidge Farms Gingerman Cookies!  Is there anything as good? Crisp, crunchy, with those little sugar crystals on top!! When you open the package, that sweet, gingery smell comes out. UMMMM!  Sometimes I bite their heads off first and then gobble the rest of them, but sometimes I start with the feet.   I have to be careful or the whole little cupful disappears before I even know it!  Once upon a time, my friend Fred worked at Pepperidge Farms and for Christmas one year, he and his wife  gave me a 5 pound bag of broken and unsellable ones. It was fabulous!!!

                     

 

2)  My next favorite thing today is my Avalon “Joy” CD.  It was released in 2000, and some of the people aren’t even in the group anymore, but I love it. Apparently, I’m not the only one, I follow Sandi Patty on Twitter and she tweeted this today “The Pre game music is blaring in my dressing room. I cannot get ready without Avalon's JOY cd.”  I think that’s pretty impressive!  I can’t even decide which song is my favorite – I like all of them.  This is a “No Skipping” CD. I never skip any of them.  I do repeat some though – I repeat “Light a Candle” and “Good News” and the “Manger Medley.”  In the category of “Most Favorite” we have a tie – I’m torn between “Jesus Born On This Day” and “We Are The Reason.” I saw an Avalon Christmas concert once that was just absolutely wonderful and I think of that when I hear it!  I think I went with my friend Amy and we ate at the Cracker Barrel after the show!

Between my gingerman cookies and my Joy CD, I am happy right now! I think it’s the memories and the things I associate with other things that make them my favorites!
