Favourite Simple Things

[DarkShadow]

Burning incense and listening to music while doing housework. My mom did it all the time when I was growing up. Most often she was listening to the Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" 8 track on one of these Google Image Result for http://oldhousecrazy.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/old-house-crazy-diy-restore-an-old-stereo-console-02.jpg=_

I love the smell of propane burning in the morning!

I started to include in my list that I love the smell of the gasoline fumes when I'm putting gas in the car...but most people look at me like I'm nuts when I admit that... :lmao:

Me too! Reminds me of Saturday morning mowing the lawns, for money to go to the movies with that night. Good memories.. fresh cut grass smells, ice cold lemonade, and just feeling good about life!

Wanna know something really wacky? The smell of cow manure brings back pleasant memories for me... growing up, our favorite make-out place was in a field next to a feed lot... so there are pleasant.. uh... "Associations" there! (anyone read "Class of 44" the sequel of "Summer of 42"... if so, you know what I mean!) (heck.. the drive in theater was next to a feed lot for that matter.. talk about reinforcement, lol!)

I admit it too!

Hooray! Glad to hear it's not just Compaq and I that like the smell of gas fumes!

And Charlie--back when WE grew up, wasn't pretty much EVERYTHING right next to a cow pasture, or a field of corn or tobacco? :lmao:

The smell of a really good cigar...
The appearance of a freshly cut lawn...
A great shave with a straight blade...
Crashing waves...
Black leather recliners...

True!

Couple more this morning over coffee.

Feeling the ground shake when horses run past.
Thunder and lightening at night.
Music cranked up in the car and feeling the bass.

Oh geez...this list could get long....
jamming out to old school music while cleaning my house in my pj's...alone!
hot chocolate chip cookies and cold milk
A hot shower after a good workout
clean sheets fresh out of the dryer (I won't go to bed unless my bed is made either)
sleeping in (I have no idea what this is)
mani/pedi's
Driving with my windows down and sunroof open with fav music on- no child in tow.
Pot roast in the crock pot
Candles burning-I have a small obsession with candles

Oh yeah, thanks Jdubs for reminding me.
When my lawn is mowed to perfection with the pretty lines. (a.k.a. When I pay to have it done and don't do it myself)

Some of Mine ,will only make sense to a small few, BUT....The sound and feel of Air bubbles at 100 feet of sea water .(NO-,From the regulator)lol. The smell of 116-from a 12-to-1 Engine . Talking to a Wild Turkey . The sound of a Nikon Shutter . The smell of a fresh Ham ,on a Sunday afternoon. Sitting around a campfire with family and friends ,remembering the ones that should be there too......But have passed.(Bitter, but sweet)

Yep. Love the clean "carpet" look with razor exact lines.

The smell of fresh basil
The smell of rural Asia on a hot night
Hugging any of my children or grandchildren
Apple pies from Wegeman's

Listening to any of these three pieces of music

as beautiful a small piece of music you'll ever hear.
