Okay ... this is what I did when I wasn't hashing and rehashing Health Insurance plans with the hubby ... or ... trying to finish that research project I'm not talking about ... or ... logging into SL too late for my meetings.

It was actually a fairly interesting day out on the web ... wanna see?

Have fun,
Enjoy,
pam

Pam is a Texan living on the Southern fringe of Upstate New York. Today she prepared for winter by removing the screens from the windows and washing the outside glass ... all the better for shooting the snowbirds -- with a camera! ... the one's with wings! Really ya'll ... follow me here!

Every day I bump into the most amazing things on the Internet. But there's no way I can blog about them all ... until I mushed up the Thursday Thirteen and del.icio.us linkroll.

This week pay special attention to what BooMama's church is doing. And could us "intellectual-types" "goody-two-shoes-types" please get out and mingle over at YouTube and make good stuff "buzzy," too?

MarillaAnne's del.icio.us Thursday thirteen

• BooMama's church presents a plan to promote Christmas. / Christmas videos BooMama 06_12_14
  OK PEOPLE GO VOTE! Be social and promote good work. Besides it's very funny. And visit BooMama


• A Young Conservative: Advent Calendar 2006 / Christmas AdventCalendar 06_12_14
  I bumped into this young man over on MyBlogLog. He is posting a Christmas "factoid" everyday until Christmas -- and doing a very excellent job of it. Highly enjoyable. If you're into politics, you'll enjoy all of his blog!


• The Snowdog - ecard by Jacquie Lawson / Christmas eCards 06_12_14
  My friend Ulla sends the best online Christmas cards created by Jacquie! This is last year's card to me. If you're looking for a Christmas card solution ... I highly recommend Jacquie's. Affordable. Elegant.


• moo | we love to print / business 06_12_14
  What I get to order tomorrow. And just because it's fun, they will say: Pam aka MarillaAnne - Writer of Exquisite Treasures.


• Sausage Gravy I - Allrecipes / Food 06_12_14
  Learning to make our own 'cause we can't get it at the cafe down the street any more--something about living "in the wrong state for that!" (cafe cook to my husband.) Sometimes there is still a difference between the north and the south.


• Bill Coleman: Amish Photo Gallery / Amish photography TellingLifeStories 06_12_14
  Breath taking photography of a lifestyle that is beyond my comprehension. To see his special offer, click on the link that says "2006 Holiday Special"


• Windsor Park Theater / Amish photography TellingLifeStories 06_12_14
  An Interview: Bill Coleman's Amish Odyssey


• Food & Family: Apricot Ambrosia / Food Photography 06_12_14
  This time Kit doesn't share the recipe. But oh my the photographs and prose! You must go see. Must! (Plus I hear she's added the marzipan recipe.)


• when i was 13 / TellingLifeStories 06_12_14
  I came across Angela in November -- fairly sure it was Lane's Randomizer that brought us together. Angela is very consistently telling her story in chapter form. I am hooked. You will be too.


• Living in Grace: Extra! Extra! Read All About It! / Christmas Food 06_12_14
  Kelli has rescued me with her Christmas Prime Rib recipe! I have decided I am my father's child. At some point in the last few years I was living at home, he practically banned poultry -- especially turkey. I think he & my mom still eat chicken, though.


• Peach and Pearl: Introducing Baby / resourceful creative 06_12_14
  Peach makes Pearl a beautiful handmade, heirloom-quality Baby from a "Dancing Rain Dolls" kit backed by very unusual customer support!


• Making Ripples: post-corporate adventures: Has Royal Camera moved beyond bait and switch? / photography NY camera equipment 06_12_14
  Google thinks my blog is related to this gentleman's blog. We've never met but I have to say he writes a very good blog. This entry is about how to avoid being scammed in a camera / photography equipment purchase.


• BookCrossing - The World's Biggest Free Book Club - Catch and Release Used Books / to_do interesting books soon 06_12_14
  Do you ever wonder ... what happened to that book you left on the park bench? These people attempt to find out.

Apologies to any RSS readers who may feel they are seeing double. I adjusted the styling of del.icio.us feed. It may cause this post to appear out of order.
