To Miss & Not to Miss



Among her many kick-ass writings, Nora Ephron left two lists. One was a list of the things she’d miss and the other the things she wouldn't. 
They inspired me to make lists of my own. 
Here they are as of June 28, 2012 (I assume they will change)
Things I Won’t Miss
Waiting
Trying on clothes
Mosquitoes
Hot flashes
Tech support
The need for tech support
Headaches
Insomnia
World news
Rejection
Religion
Fear 
Grief
People dying
Pets dying
Traffic


Things I Will Miss 
(besides family & friends)
Chocolate
Coffee
Smell of cut grass
Crickets
Inappropriate giggles  
Gardening
Reading in bed
Bunnyness
Wally and other dogness
A long awaited pee
Spring
Foot rubs
Bread
Laughing
Pie
Watermelon
Writing
Hanging out in bed with my kids
Sitting under shady threes
Comfy chairs
Walking on the beach with my Freen
Fireworks
Fireflies

What are yours?

P.S. People do keep dying. It almost makes a gurl feel like it could happen to anyone. 
P.P.S. Keep breathing!

Things my poppa made

It is Father's Day and I'm thousands of miles from my poppa.

But here are some pictures he painted.
He said he painted because they couldn't afford art for their walls.


Here are some things he built.

He built the harpsichord with his brother, my uncle Hyme. 
First they had to build the tools to build the harpsichord. It took 8 years.  
















And here are some people he built.
















Here are some people who exist as a result.















The moral of this story is to take more and better photos.
