10 Moments in a Drawer

The movie Once made me think some more about those times when you truly wish that you could preserve a few moments in a drawer. So here are 10 (or more) moments I’d like to put away so that I could come back to them again: 1. early summer mornings when I’m still in bed and can feel the breeze on my toes 2. summer mornings on the porch with coffee (and summer evenings as well) 3. recording Beethoven quartets with the Emerson String Quartet 4. any time at Penland 5. the 2nd to the last night with my first dog, Agnes, lying out in the park together 6. eating homemade strawberry rhubarb pie and coffee with my friends John and Roberta out on their yard in rural Wisconsin 7. sharing gossip with former co-worker Lauren who would make me laugh so hard that I’d spurt out my coffee 8. learning a new book structure from Hedi Kyle 9. the first morning I spent at my friend Tony’s cabin 10. my parent’s 50th anniversary dinner at my house 11. G&T's on Earl's porch (and visiting his upstairs studio) 12. dinner on Karen and Orton's porch (hmmm...there seems to be a strong porch theme)
