Treasures 2006_04


Memory is the treasure house of the mind wherein the monuments thereof are kept and preserved.


— Thomas Fuller

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.

  • Pink blossoms on an ornamental plum tree. Spring is coming early!

  • A blue sunny shiny gorgeous early almost-spring day

  • Turkey sandwiches on fresh sourdough bread with mayo and cranberry sauce

  • The smell of cooking turkey floating through the house

  • My new calendar holder-upper (and, of course, my brilliantly inventive sweetie)

  • Reaching 100 steps on the stepper almost every time now.

  • The stone cats (pumas?) guarding the entrance to Golden Gate park (at 8th and Fulton)

  • Crisply toasted sourdough bread crusts (the "heel" of the loaf) with peanut butter

  • Itty bitty brownbirds in the hedge by our fence, hopping, fluttering, making shadows on the ground

  • Soft mrrmrring kitty sounds from the basket over my monitors (Squirrel is sleeping there in a swirl of fluff)

  • Successful software installations! (now we can play)

  • Rich suggesting the hot tub on a chilly evening
