Share your most favorite thing

Lynn over at A Mothers Journal tagged me to write about my favorite thing around my house. That is a tough one for me as there are lots of things that would fit that category.

For instance, I love my kerosene lamps, but then I love the cedar chest my great grandfather made. I love my hutch in the dining room, but then I do so enjoy my rocking chair.

This is going to be a hard thing to decide. Oh wait, I love love love my camera, but then I love my computer too. There is my sewing machine also, and my stash of fabric. Oh dear this is a hard assignment for me. I love my wooden floors in the dining room, but then I love my red gingham wallpaper in the kitchen, but wallpaper seems like a silly thing to love.

O.k. I finally have it....after all these years of being married and all the years of living in this house the most favorite thing I have is......drum roll please......the whole house, does that count to include everything ?

If I had to really get it down to one thing, it might be nope, can't seem to narrow it down. I love my wood stove, my books, my big high four poster bed that you need steps to get up to. Just everything in the house and the house are treasures to me. My Clipper ship dishes, my dining room set that has seen such laughter and good conversation.

Its all my favorite...its all part of my life. Its all part of who I am. Its all part of my children's lives and the memories we share. Symbols of our love and our life.

Feel free to share your favorite thing on your blog and let me know what it is.
