What are your little pleasures?

**Panache** · 26th April 07, 02:34 PM

Here are a few of the the little everday pleasures that make me happy:

Riding bikes with son Sinbad

Taking walks with daughter Xena

Wrestling with my two children, even though they always win.

Walking about my garden

Dancing with my lovely wife, the Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess

Finishing a wood working project

Sushi

Driving nowhere in particular with the top down in my Mustang

Getting a phone call from an old friend

The smell of baking bread

Starting a new book

Knowing that I still remember all the lines to "Address to a Haggis"

Making supper for my family

A Gin and Tonic with fresh lime

Cheers

Jamie

A good book
Slalom skiing (that would be WATERskiing for you northern types!)

Here is my little list:

1. Riding the motorcycle on a back road with no traffic.

2. Seeing Elizabeth Jane my niece.

3. A nice hot Earl Grey tea on a cold day.

4. The smell of hay in a horse barn.

5. Anything from Revolver or Rubber Soul by the Beatles.

Thats what I can think of for now.

1) Sitting on the front porch in the evening having a scotch and cigar with my wife.

2)Sleeping with the window wide open in the spring.

3)Watching a brook trout dance on the end of your line after having sipped in a dry fly.

4)Seeing my English Setter stylishly point a Ruffed Grouse.

5)An evening in grouse camp with good friends.

6)Any time spent with my wife at an onsen in Japan.

7)A really good bowl of ramen, preferably tonkotsu ramen.

8)Being first due, and having the pipe at a really good fire. ( you'd need to be a jake to understand this.)

I like sitting on the patio on cool evenings, eatin' Spitz. I just like the cool air and hearing the sounds of my trashy little neighborhood.

A nice red wine.

A good book.
