A drink...lol, bet you thought I was going to say something about my grandchildren.

Seriously, after I've been away for a while, when the front tires hit the 331 bridge you couldn't wipe the smile off my face with a pressure washer!!!

When my daughter was home, it was the sound of the garage door going up when she got safely home at night. Then I could go to sleep.

The sound of my dog padding excitedly through the house.

Endless cups of hot tea!

Oh yes, I could live forever on hot tea.

My husband putting a towel by the tub for my bath when it comes out of the dryer. Hubby also restocking the TP so I have plenty when he is not at home.

Friends that check on me when my family is away.

When hubby and I reminisce about the good times we've had over the years or enjoy something as simple as the comfort food we've cooked together recently, I love it when we just smile and hug and appreciate our many years together.:wub:
