Thursday Thirteen

Here is a list of blogs I read (in no particular order). Some are on my links to the side and some need to get there but I haven't had time to do an update:

1. May Muses. This is written by a former writing buddy who used to live around here but has now taken herself off to Asheville so she can learn to be an acupuncturist. She has a different slant on life.

2. Stillwater suite. I just found this blog. I like the writer's voice and the subject matter.

3. Tom Atkins. Tom writes interesting poetry and has an interesting take on creativity and life in general. I really enjoy reading his work. His blog address changes a lot, though.

4. landuvmilknhoney. This is a local blogger who is doing homesteading and self-sustaining efforts in the biggest way. She makes her own butter, for heaven's sake!

5. AROOO. A different take on politics and life in general. Good reading if you're into women's issues and what is right (but not right-wing).

6. Blue Ridge Blue Collar Girl. Beth doesn't write enough but when she does you can bet your sweet bippy that it is worth the read.

7. Sweetfluttersbys3. This blogger writes about food and offers up recipes, along with a picture of some luscious and fattening cake. Makes me hungry every time I visit!

8. Spatter. June's photos are among my favorites. I wish I had her great photographic eye.

9. Roanoke Firefighters. An interesting take on the place of my husband's employment and probably enlightening reading for the citizens who live there as to how the government is actually working. Did you know this blog was recently banned from the city computers?

10. Jen's Bike Blog. I do not ride a bicycle but often wished I did. Jen writes about her work in the health care system and her bike rides, which includes fun outings and races. I live vicariously through her words, I think.

11. Ron Bailey. Ron is another who keeps changing his site around but at least the address stays the same. I am never quite sure what he is doing but if you're interested in scratching your head check him out.

12. The Virginia Scribe. Amy is in the Hollins Horizon program, following in my footsteps even though she doesn't know me. She has won some writing contests and I expect great things from her. She is doing it all while raising kids, too. Plus I think she married someone who is from around where I live.

13. Bad Jokes and Oven Chips. Another Thursday Thirteen-er, who lives across the sea. I enjoy learning about her world and her trumpet-playing adventures. She also does something with Girl Scouts or something like that group.

There are many more. Hope you found some new reading!


Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; you can learn more about it here. My other Thursday Thirteens are here.
