A to Z of Small Delights, Simple Pleasures, & Significant Memories
Joyful Small Delights, Simple Pleasures, & Significant Memories…
- Jewelry that comes with memories: I wear my late husband’s wedding band on my right hand, I had it sized for me. I wear an heart pendant that was made from my wedding set and diamond earrings that was custom made for me. I always feel close to him. I had my mother’s wedding set for years, I recently passed it on to my daughter and she wears it on her right hand. Sweet memories…
- Jalopies: Old cars, but especially old trucks. Well loved, much driven.
- Jitterbug: I used to do this, now I love watching others do it.
- Juke boxes: I grew up in the era of juke boxes and mini ones on the tables in diners. I’ve always loved them.
- Jamaican accents: Ah, so melodious!
- Jacket: that favorite one you love, so comfortable, it’s like an old friend
- Joy on a loved one’s face: No matter what caused it, joy on a loved one’s face is something to treasure.

Thank you.
Thank you.
My uncle who was very high up in the police force used to restore jalopies as his hobby/downtime. I have many fond memories riding around in the ones he had lovingly fixed up.
Hubby is slowly fulfilling his lifelong dream of restoring/rebuilding old vehicles. Got his pole barn built, electric in, concrete done, now waiting to order his big lift.
Your list is pretty complete. Only thing that comes to my mind I’d like to add, are good jokes. Of course humor lies in the eyes of the beholder.

In my FB reader group today, I asked for dad jokes – the ones that make you groan as you laugh.
I wear my Mama’s second wedding set on my right hand. She had never had a solitaire and late in life my Dad bought her one. That is the one I have.
Love!!!!
The planet Jupiter brings me great joy. I’ve seen it in telescopes several times now, and it is one of the most magnificent sights I’m ever seen.
That is so cool!!
I have juke boxes as one of my topics today 🙂
Whoo-hoo! I’ll be checking it out later today.
Home made guava jelly, especially if made by my mum. She’s gone three years this April but always with me still.
What a wonderful memory!
Jukeboxes! They’ve always had a special place in my heart. if my apartment wasn’t already bursting at the seams, I’d seriously consider buying one. Maybe I could get rid of the couch???
Sure, why not. Get a beanbag chair instead!
Yes to jewelry. I have some pieces from my mom, grandmother and mother-in-law.
I passed all my mom’s jewelry on to my oldest daughter a year or two ago. She was a foster child so nothing from her mother.
Mum’s jewelry that she passed on to me, and joy on a loved one’s face.
What’s jitterbug?
It’s a type of American dancing that was popular in the 1950s.
Okay. 🙂
Here is a video featuring some professional dancers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vQp0Vhv66g
Oh, wow! That was superb! Fun dance! Loved it, Donna. Thanks! 🙂

Yes!
My father was a great and joyful jitterbugger. I danced with him occasionally but he was too exuberant to slow down and teach me – he’d cry “Just follow!” and whirl me all over the place! lol
