Walking amongst the tall Redwood trees in the total silence.

Having my cat curled up asleep on my lap.

Smelling lilacs in the Spring, and when someone in the neighborhood has their fireplace burning real wood, or the smell of someone barbecueing. An afternoon nap with a slight breeze blowing in the window with sunshine. Sitting in the boat with my line in the water, and my dog with me. You wanted just one??? I guess this is called "retirement" when you can finally notice all these things that went by me.

Smelling the first flowers of spring....and having all 5 doggie faces greet me in the bedroom window as I pull in the driveway! (not a smell, but definitely a "favorite thing")

I hope this doesn't bring everyone down.

Simple pleasure? Being an American. After reading the current Nation Geogaphic mag. about how 5,8,9+ year old girls are married off to 25,30 or even 50 year old men. Having babies at 12 or 13. Being a slave to your husband.

Quilting simple pleasure? Having the spare time and money to make a quilt, just for the pleasure of it.

Seeing the first tomato ripen.

Finding something new on the board that inspires me.

WHEN MY GRANDCHILDREN SAY "Grandma Judy I love you"

1. Finding that DH left me hot coffee when he left for work.
2. The days that DH works, so I can have the whole day with just me, the critters, and fabric. Heaven.

Watching and listening to the chirping of a pair of black PHoebes and the babies they are raising in a nest just outside the window of my quilting room.

Communing and exchanging love with my kitty children

Waking up in the morning to a brand new day.

Getting that "Aha" moment while looking at the blocks on the design wall.........
