Favorites
Below is a list of some of my favorites things:
Books: Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes; The Merlin Trilogy (Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, The Last
Enchantment) by Mary Stewart; The Lord of the Rings triology (as well as The Hobbit) by J.R.R.
Tolkien, The Man Who Was Magic by Paul Gallico; the Outlander novels by Diana Gabaldon; A Winter's
Tale by Mark Helprin; and a beautifully illustrated children's book entitled Free Fall by David Wiesner.
Movies: Witness; Glory; Braveheart; Lord of the Rings; Fried Green Tomatoes; The Point; When A Man
Loves A Woman.
Pastimes: Spending time with my now-grown kids and hubby, reading a good book, sitting by the
creek, listening to music. And writing, of course.
Hobbies: Painting, reading, gardening (give me a house plant, and it will be meeting its demise, but
outdoor plants have taken a liking to my care). Also photography and creating new and exciting
scents for use in candles and soaps.
Animals: Mine, of course. Although I am fond of most dogs, a good many cats, and believe that horses
are incredibly beautiful creatures, as well as snakes (yes, snakes), hawks, eagles, falcons, owls. And
a lovely little bird called the indigo bunting. I have a fascination with the possibility of dragons, as well.
Actors: Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Allison Janney, Glenn Close, Martin Sheen, the cast of
American Dreams...
Music: Classical -- Beethoven (especially the Sixth and Ninth symphonies), Handel, Mozart, Grieg,
Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Debussy; anything by Sarah McLachlan, Loreena McKennitt, Simon and
Garfunkel, Collective Soul, early Genesis, and a local folk singing duo -- Jennie Avila and Amy Torchia.
Time of Year: Christmas, snowfalls, the changing of summer to autumn, and the first bloom of spring.
Period in History: Well, the colonial period in American history, naturally. Also, a great many episodes
in the history of Britain from the Dark Ages to the Norman Conquest, as well as Irish history.
