Nice Things to Do

 Misty Muskoka, originally uploaded by Cathlin B.

I was inspired when both Pip and Jhoanna posted lists called "Nice things to do" and decided I wanted to play along too! Here are some nice things I like to do...

-splash in puddles while wearing my new boots
-browse the sewing books and magazines at the store
-cook a meal that takes a long time just because I can
-dance around in the living room when Alex isn't home (and sometimes when he is)
-sit in the Muskoka chair out back and read
-watch BBC dramas and adaptations
-search through used bookstores and thrift stores
-wear skirts with pretty shoes in the sunshine
-drink coffee on a patio whenever possible
-cuddle with my love
-buy fresh cut flowers just because
-tromp through the dried Fall leaves
-sew up a lovely, surprise gift for a friend
-stay in bed for as long as possible
-dress up even if I'm just going to class
-listen to music while baking cookies
-eat ice cream straight from the tub
-spend time talking with good friends


Do you have anything to add or a list of things to share?

  1. wow...can I come spend the day with you? You do fun stuff. I need to print this and remind myself I used to do these things too...life gets to cluttered and busy sometimes and you rush past simple pleasures. Lovely list Kaye.

  2. Such a great list! Yes, totally agree with the searching through thrift stores and listening to favourite music whilst baking cookies :-)

  3. Oh my gosh, that's so funny! I opened my dashboard, turned around to say to BSP (in the context of a conversatino about sizing for baby quilts) "There's this girl in my guild who's opening a shop; her name's Kaye... " and then I turned around to go back to my 'puter and there's Miss Kaye.

    *cue theme from The Twilight Zone* Oh wait, are you too young to remember the theme from the Twlight Zone?

    lol

  4. I have never owned a pair of rain boots, but oh I sooo want to now!

    I love your list. Especially the bookstore and thriftstore point, and coffee on the patio!

    I would add to my list, baking pretty desserts, and enjoying them with friends.

  6. Sit in my hanging porch swing, reading a library book, sipping lemonade from freshly-plucked lemons, and swinging idly away...ahh.
