The smell of sunscreen and swimming pools.
The frosting smoothness of fresh snow and the crunch of ice as you step into it.
The coolness (or heat) of good tea.
The smell of coffee on cold mornings.
The smell of rain.
Miss's list:
Daddy
Ketchup
Bacon
and the movie Jaws.
Thinking good things, leads to feeling good things, leads to good things happening.
Just got a call from a young man we took in several summers, maybe twenty years ago, as a Fresh Air kid (intercity youth program of summer vacations in the country). One of those summers we took the kids along to Cooperstown, New York (Baseball Hall of Fame the wife wanted to see), and another we took the kids along on a camping trip in Maine.
We'd sent Christmas cards to his mother's over the years, but hadn't heard from him in I don't know how many years.
So, follow what I said in the first sentence and tell us where it gets you

The simplest truths are written on the wall,

A proper lie in.
Hot, fruit pie and ice cream.
Hugs.
Being chatted up.

As of yet I have been unable to tell my boss what I really think of him. I'm looking forward to doing so.
An overcast, windy or rainy day.
Autumn and it's smells, sights and celebrations
When my daughter is excited or experiencing something fun for the first time
Planning things: outings, vacations, parties
Reading a good book
Pounding out a productive writing session
spending time with family
Making my fussy coffee in the morning.
Puppies. Children with puppies.
Good beer and a baseball game. Or just the beer. Or just the baseball game.
My wife asleep beside me.
Washing the dishes while my wife bakes.
Thunderstorms on the prairie.
Local history, even the bits that are sad and tragic.
My remaining grandmother, although she isn't a thing. My memories of my other grandparents and great-grandparents.
Wisdom is seldom boisterous.

If you're into hillbilly themed pornography (and, really, who ISN'T these days?), check out Hidden Content and Hidden Content . There's no pornography, but everything IS written by a hillbilly.
The second cup of coffee in the morning. The first is always weird. But that second cup, I actually enjoy.
That state of lucid sleepiness. It seems to produce some oddly surreal writing, which isn't my normal thing... but it's fun.

Sitting in a movie theater before the show starts.
