Sounds

This is kinda silly, but what are some of your favorite sounds? They say the sense of smell is most attached to memory and I believe that. I brought two dressers with us when we moved to Atlanta, they were from my grandparents' house that I had spent many summers with, then they were in storage for awhile. I remember moving into our home and was ready unpack the kids clothes and opened the first drawer and was just undone because it smelled just like my grandparents house. A sweet fragrance and trip down memory lane.

but I digress, I was thinking about what my favorite sounds are. I think I was prompted by the sound of the rain starting when I was standing outside this morning.

Here are some others I thought of:
  • Joshua and Jessica's true belly laugh
  • the sound of the garage door going up: Chris is home!
  • the sound of the waves crashing to shore
  • that sound that ski's make going down the mountain
  • the coffee pot
  • rain
  • my ring tone when Chris calls "I've always love you" by Third Day. sometimes I don't answer right away to let it play a little longer
  • Chris snoring. really I do like that sound it's kinda comforting
  • "Mom" "Mommy"
  • the sound of feet hitting the pavement in a rhythm when i run. A slllloooowwwww rhythm
  • "hey hon" only from Chris though...
  • the sound of kids playing outside in the yard
  • a horse galloping (not with me on it though)
  • fernando ortega's voice
  • Dave South's voice (He's the commentator for every Aggie sport)
  • the crack of the bat
  • the sound the ball makes hitting Caleb's glove when Joshua makes a strong solid pitch
  • the little music that plays when you turn on Wii sports. I know I am gonna kick some computer tennis butt. (pathetic I know)
  • school sounds. kids, teachers, cafeteria, playgrounds, lockers closing, etc.
  • an acoustic guitar

Well I know there are more. I will add when I come across them, but I have been lazy enough this Saturday morning so I must go do something productive...

Gee - I wonder who anonymous could be?? :o)

I have to agree with three of yours for sure....the waves of the ocean,the kids with a true belly laugh or giggle, and the coffee pot (except for when I set the timer and the grinder goes off while I'm standing next to it and not expecting it)! I'll have to think about others and get back to you.
