    Some things I love.

    A campfire, even when the weather is warm.
    Pork, in any form.
    Being iced in with plenty of firewood.
    Good books.
    Chicken fried deer heart, liver and onions.
    A baseball game going scoreless into the 9th.
    Being in the first two rows at a prize fight (when boxing was boxing).
    Alcohol and tobacco.
    The smell of a new truck.
    Receiving the title in the mail when it's paid off.
    Fine wood and 24 line to the inch checkering on a firearm.
    Finding my arrow in the dirt covered with bright, red blood.
    Bluebell Homemade Vanilla ice cream.
    Kids that say Sir and Ma'am and thank you.
    Backing my boat into the water on a calm, cool spring morning.
    A new pair of shoes or boots.
    A clean, tidy house with all things in order.
    Shooting over a pair of good dogs that work in tandem.
    Women wearing high heels and tight jeans.
    Roy Orbison.
    Reloading ammo, just the loads I want to shoot.
    Fletching arrows with feathers.
    Boiled crawfish, red potatoes and corn.
    Seeing the color of the water transition from green/brown to blue when going offshore.
    Bourbon Street jazz.
    My kids and grandkids well and accounted for.
    Women wearing hats.
    A horse race.
    Twilight time in the blind.
    Robert Chester Ruark.
    The smell of leather.
    The scent of a pretty woman's perfume when she passes by.
    Waking up early needing to pee and realizing it's Saturday.



    And a few that I don't like very much...

    Golf.
    Whiny kids.
    Soccer.
    Hockey.
    Beatles music.
    Hearing a woman say "We need to talk".
    Election years.
    Sermons about hellfire and ****ation instead of Christ's love and forgiveness.
    People that chronically feel sorry for themselves.
    Seeing myself in the mirror each morning hit with the reality that I'm now an old man.



    Bob Lee.

    The smell of a rainstorm in the summer
    The smell of fresh cut grass.
    You nailed the rest!

          Like hearing the birds chirp when the sun comes up while I'm sitting in a deer blind.

            Yep good list,

            I would include:
            rain on a tin roof
            Woman in a dress or skirt.
            Sitting in the shade watching a cork/bobber

              Great list.

              For me:

              The sound of the coffee pot in the morning
              Watching the sun come up
              Waking up early and the wife and kids are still asleep
              Walking into the house after a long productive day
              Rainy summer days
              The sound of waves slapping the boat

                Things that I love:

                A good retriever that loves you back.
                The smell of my wife's pillow when I sleep later than her and wake up alone.
                Hoppes #9 smell.
                Working hard and being sore for it.
                The National Anthem at a ballgame, sang loudly by all in attendance.
                Hearing public prayer before a HS football game.

                    Every day above dirt is a good day. I love every moment of them. One thing I do miss is the smell of the old formul Hoppe's #9. Don't know when the changed the formula or why, but the new one just doesn't have the smell the old one did. Used to be you started to clean your gun and the smell off Hoppe's brought back memories of long ago hunts. Now, it just smells. Not too good either.

                        The smell of spent shotgun shells on a cold morning.

                        Hearing my kids say daddy.

                        Salt air while fishing the flats.

                          The smell of horses and saddle leather on a cool winter morning.
                          That feeling you get when you screw in your broadheads getting ready for the hunt.
                          The way your pulse jumps when a deer decided to show up.
                          The time spent with family away from any creature comforts.
                          The feeling of accomplishment when you finally take your target animal for the year.


                          And most importantly, the feeling of God's love as you watch the sun set upon the trees and grass.
