These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

Our daughter and her husband came home for Christmas and we headed to my parents house for a few days. Much to my surprise, our daughter had been calling my mother to discuss the menus she was planning to prepare...making certain that all of her favorite foods were awaiting. As we sat down to eat the first meal while at home....my mother announced that this was all of "our daughter's favorites".....immediately These are a Few of My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music....played in my head. After lunch, my sister and I sat down and jotted down a few stanzas.....see if you can make it fit to the tune: These are a Few of My Favorite Things.....

Creamed corn and sweet tea
Butterbeans and fresh peas
Chicken salad? Yes ‘mam
A plate full of baked ham
A big pot of vegetable soup

Topped with cornbread ....

These are few of my favorite things

Christmas china, linen napkins

The table's set

Dinner is ready...Mimi says "Let's eat"

These are a few of my favorite things

Caramel cake with pecans

Coconut and 'tater pie

Apples, oranges, pineapples too

These are a few of my favorite things

When the glass breaks
and the tea spills
and the kids are bad
I simply remember my favorite things....
and then I don't feel.....so.....sad.
