Books of course. Ceramic tile with Charlie Harper Cardinal picture. TM2 of your favorite type of stores to shop in for Christmas (EXCLUDING bookstores).

What a walk down memory lane.
TM2 concerts you WISH you had attended.
Lionel Richie & Whitney Houston. I had her ticket but the show was cancelled (she was sick) so I decided to return them instead of going at the later date.TM2 of the best dates you have ever had.
1. First date with the guy I've now been married to for 26 years: We went to a drive-in cafe and shared a milkshake (both were poor); then went to my little flat where we sat on the veranda and drank tea and talked until the sun came up.2. Same guy: Fish and chips on the beach in the moonlight, then a lovely long walk.
(moral of the story: if it's the right person, you will enjoy being with him/her, it doesn't matter where you go!)
