The Crimson Rambler tagged me to try to think up my favorite things:

• My children and their spouses
• Books, books, books--and reading them
• Writing letters and receiving them
• Teaching/talking about God
• Walking around Lake Padden in WA State
• Friends
• Baking cookies, desserts, bread
• Hanging clothes outside to dry on the clothesline
  
• Clean, crisp sheets
• Spending time at Lebh Shomea House of Prayer in Sarita, TX
• Taking (good) classes about God and not just theology
• Eucharist
  
• My children calling me on the phone
