The List
on Oct 04, 2009
- the taste of a cinnamon stick after it has been soaking in a hot toddie
- finally spotting the aluminum road sign on the side of the road with the name of the state that you’ve been driving 1000′s of miles to eventually see..you just know you’ve finally arrived.
- the exact second heavy milk actually turns to fresh whipped cream
- cocktail recipes found in old cigar boxes
- home-made muffins wrapped in parchment paper
- the mineral and grapefruit essence of a Spanish albarino
- the gently folded napkin notes found in tin elementary school lunch boxes
- animal shaped cookie cutters
- a small yellow finch perched on a periwinkle painted bird feeder
- knowing that even when my grandmother’s mind escaped her, there were memories in the bones, blood, muscles of her hands, reassuring her that she would always remember how to crochet
- the cheap & half-full bottles of shampoo that line the dark wood planks of an outdoor shower at the beach
