Treasures 2006_01


We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams.


— Jeremy Irons

Treasures are positive things that strike my fancy, that make me feel happy or thankful or interested. Treasures are memories encapsulated in just a few words.
These are my Treasures for the past week.

  • Fireworks displays welcoming the New Year.

  • Cinnamon- and nutmeg-tinted carrot cake

  • Our new 2006 calendars – cartoon dogs, wild cats, colorful songbirds, flowers, …

  • Sandra Boynton's "earnest hippos, inspired piggies, brilliant lions, creative cats…"

  • Grreenlee's Bakery Cinnamon bread, toasted

  • Kitties lying tummy side up (is that "funny side up"? 🙂

  • Ghirardelli limited edition "peppermint bark" chocolates

  • The north end of a south-moving cat (especially when said cat is a Maine Coon)

  • Raven, talking in his sleep (urmph mwrmr rrmrph)

  • A hot Serra sandwich from Mr. Pickle's Sandwich shop – chicken, avocado, bacon, and jack, all melted on a toasted sourdough roll (with lettuce, tomato, and pesto garlic sauce). Yumm. Even better after I crisp up the bacon.
