| | MarillaAnne's del.icio.us Thursday Thirteen #2
12/21/06
This week very naturally leaned (once again) toward Christmas. I included one of our long time favorites: Popular Front's Snow Days. But this year they surprised me by contributing to Salvation Army based on the number of flakes made ... so get thee and all of thy relatives over there and have some fun and give give give.
And as usual, I found more stories to follow. Kelli (Living in Grace) is beginning her search for a kidney. Kim (Embracing Momminess) poignantly reminds us of who we are (and who we can be) as Americans by telling the story of her family's loss and a community's support. Please read both stories and leave them comments. Oh go on ... you can spare a few facial tissues and a little time and care. Yes. You can.
And some stories attacked me (that doll thing still hurts!) ... and some I just bumped into.  I am marillaanne on del.icio.us Add me to your network Links to other Thursday Thirteens!If you are participating in Thursday Thirteen, please leave a link in your comment. What I mean is ...

And don't be bashful if it's already Friday or Saturday ... leave me a note anyway and I'll come visit ... especially since I do most of my Thursday Thirteen visiting on Friday since most of you post to my blog after I'm asleep for the day anyway :~) Today's Participants at ThursdayThirteen.comView More Thursday Thirteen Participants

| I enjoy your comments. And I want you to enjoy reading each other's comments. To that end purpose, I moderate comments. If you're impatient, MeeboMe.
Commenting Ideas- If you do not have a blog or site, skip the "web site" line, pull a name or "handle" out of your head, write a note, push the button. (No excuses!)
- If this entry reminds you of a story of a similar place in time in your life, you are welcome to tell your story.
- If you discover your story is taking more than 3 or 4 paragraphs (and if you have a place on the web for your writings), I will not be insulted if you take your story back and finish it at your own site. But then I will be disappointed if you don't come back and leave me a summary of your story and a link -- in the comments.
- If you have already written a story about a similar place in time, please feel free to leave a summary and a link.
- It's never too late to make a comment or tell a story.
| Comments | | | | Wonderful list; thanks for all the links, especially the one for Rohde's Nursery & Nature Store. I'm a sucker for nurseries and bird stores, so this is right up my alley! Thanks so much for visiting my blog, and have a very Merry Christmas!

| | | | Enjoyed the links, thanks for stopping by! | | |
| | | | Cool list! Thanks for visiting me! Look forward to seeing you again! :) | | |
| | | Hi there! Thank you for stopping by my blog and offering your kind words. (And a wonderful idea, I might add)
I LOVE your blog! I bookmarked it and plan to stop by often.
The wreaths across america brought tears to my eyes. It's sad, yet beautiful. | | |
| | | | Thank you so much for the link! What a pleasant surprise. :~) I'll be back to explore the other 12... after a little last minute shopping. Merry Christmas Marillaanne! | | |
| | | I came back to browse. What a terrific collection of links! I made a snowflake elsewhere...what a neat ministry! I saved the "True Meaning of Christmas" story and was touched by all the wreaths at Michelle Malkin's blog.
Those dolls are amazing--Barbie has always pushed the envelope in terms of "voluptuousness" and glamor. Sadly, it's a reflection of our increasingly immoral times. :~)
Have a blessed weekend! | | |
| | | | Great list! I read Embracing Momminess and it was nice to see a link to her sight. Merry Christmas and thanks for visiting my list. | | |
| | | | Thank you so much for the link, Marilla Anne. You have a great TT list and a great site as well. | | |

But what really thrills me is that when I let go of my stories, it's like sending out little sail boats out on expeditions. Very often they come back to me filled with other people's stories. Continue... | Respecting your Privacy10/25/06I do not collect your private info unless ... Continue... |
