A few of my favorite things include:

- A big friendly dog with a grin of his face when he sees me.
- Barn cats that love their job but will always come for a scratch behind the ears.
- A nice restored classic car at a car show or just passing on the highway.
- Big rural skies, broad open horizons and a very bright Milky Way.
- Lots of good hand tools and a place to use them.
- The booming woody sound of a well-played, large bodied Gibson or Martin acoustic guitar.

But most of all my favorite thing is:
- Having my wife in my life.

I'm with ya, High Plains! But we don't have goldfish and I don't have a spouse, so... Anything to do with the quiet farm country life.
Looking out your kitchen window and watching the dog chase a butterfly in the back yard, in green grass.
