Some of you are wondering what the heck my title is all about. Soooo, I'm going to tell you. The title of my blog is a short list of some of my favorite little things. I didn't get to list them all because, who knew, you can only have a certain amount of letters in your title? However, I suppose that's what a blog is for. (Unlimited amounts of letters and words. YES!)
Lemon heads are my favorite candy. I can thank my sister Caroline for this. She brought some home one day, and I was hooked. They're my comfort food.
Next is bubblemint gum, yum. This is my favorite gum, thanks to Mom. She was wrapping birthday gifts for me, and had bought this gum at the grocery store to try it out. She didn't like it. I love my Mother.
Next on my list is rain. Most people think that rain is for sad gloomy days. Not me! Some of my happiest childhood memories are of my Grandma Cason's ingenious invention "The Rainy Day Box!" It had everything needed to keep four active little girls busy on a rainy afternoon when, sadly, they couldn't go out and play in the sunshine. "The Rainy Day Box" had play doe, coloring books, construction paper, glue, scissors, ect. galore. It also came with some rules, such as:
1.)No playing with "The Rainy Day Box" unless it's raining!
2.)Only play with one item at a time.
3.)Keep all items close to box.
4.)Put away when rain lets up, and play outside. (Mom was smart.)
However, rainy days are also a good excuse for an old movie and cuddling with siblings on the couch. Watching Fred Astaire dance across the screen, or Shirley Temple sing her way out of trouble is one of my ideals of a rainy day spent well. However, I would just as easily be persuaded to play ultimate on a rainy day. The rain makes it that much more ultimate.
Some of you may be wondering, "What is ultimate?" Well, that's not the whole name of this game. It's Ultimate Frisbee. It's a little like football, soccer, and lacrosse combined; only you're tossing a Frisbee around. It's the perfect way to spend time at the park.
My siblings and I (aka Sarah Ann) organized a little group of friends. Now we play at least once a week down at Lakebottom Park. It's loads of fun.
We aren't exclusive or anything, we ask the neighborhood kids, who sit and watch us, to come play with us. They almost always accept. Sometimes, though, they get this "Are you crazy?" look on they're faces and refuse, but what can you do? Yell? "Hey Kid, yeah you. I'm not crazy." Like that's gonna work.
Well, like I said before these are only some of my favorite things, but I'll post on those later. For now enjoy.~Louly
