You know it’s been a rough year when you ask your huband, “What’s been the highlight of our year?” and we subsequently stare at each other in silence for the next fifteen minutes. We finally came up with, “Food trucks?”. But that’s not to say that there haven’t been joys and highlights from a few of our favorite things. Here are a few things that always bring me a smile.
My favorite . . .
- Person: Ken
- Ice cream: Chocolate fudge brownie
- Musical: Sound of Music. There is no question about this.
- Movie: My Best Friend’s Wedding — or Tommy Boy if Ken’s around, because I can’t torture him with any movie with the word “Bride” or “Wedding” in the title.
- Restaurant: Old Hickory Steakhouse in Opryland Hotel
- Food truck: Riff’s
- TV Comedy: Modern Family

- Fruit: Farmer’s market peaches with balsamic vinegar and cajun seasoning (Don’t judge until you’ve tried it.)
- Drink at Starbucks: grande single skinny raspberry mocha, no whip
- Thing to do: Attend festivals around Nashville with Ken
- Food Network stars: Adam Gertler. He may not be much of a cook, but he’s pretty hilarious!
- City: Portland, OR
- Beach: Cape San Blas

- Sandwich: Bread and Company’s Steeplechase: turkey, blue cheese, green apple, with honey mustard

😀 That was fun, thanks Robin! Was great to read your list. There ARE always highlights tucked away. Even a lightning bug gives off a bit of brightness.
Oh, I love the Office too! I think the writers are great. I’m curious to see what life will be like post-Michael Scott. They’ve had some promising candidates!
Hmmm… I may steal this for a blog post for tomorrow, or sometime this week, at least! Btw — I LOVE Balderdash! We have got to get together and play sometime!
Steal away! The hardest thing about blogging is coming up with topics! I look forward to your answers!
