Thursday Thirteen


Thursday Thirteen and the alphabet... I am doing the letter "F" today. I am doing two lists... one of "F" things and "F" songs on my Ipod. As you may have noticed I love my Ipod. It is part of my life just about every single day. I am proud to share with you my songs. But first my other list of "F" things
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Flowers.... I love flowers... their smell, their beauty. My favorite flowers are lilacs and tiger lilies.

2. Fragrances... I have many favorite scents and fragrances. To name a few, lilacs, fresh mowed grass, cedar trees, coffee shops, bread baking.

3. Foxes... We live in a northern community and there is tons of wildlife around. We see foxes on a regular basis. They really are a beautiful animal.
4. Family... I love my family!
5. Friends.... Love all my friends!

6. Forrest Gump... The movie. Life is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get.

7. Fruit... I love fruit... my favorites are oranges, red grapes and peaches... I prefer canned peaches to fresh though and I love fruit pie.

8. Firepits and fireplaces... I enjoy a fire. I love an outdoor firepit with friends around sharing time together and watching the fire. Roasting wienies and marshmallows.

9. Friday... I love Fridays.... I always have. When I was in school I looked forward to Fridays... school was done for the week and I had two days off to do as I wished. Friday nights always seemed special.

10. Fantasy.. I love the land of make believe and fantasy and fairy tales.

11. French Fries... or Freedom Fries whichever term you like.

12. Fountains... I love water fountains, especially large ones you can throw your pennies into and make a wish. I enjoy seeing fountains in gardens.

13. Falls... water falls... Niagara Falls. They are spectacular to look at and really refreshing in the heat of the summer. They are peaceful and soothing.

My "F" Ipod List

1. Fernando by Abba

2. Fly Little White Dove Fly by The Bells

3. From a Distance by Bette Midler

I love a nice warm fire on a cold day! Not so much cut grass or cedar - allergies. :)

I like fresh peaches better than canned, but not the ones from the grocery store. I like them best right off the tree.

Fountains and Falls and Father and Son by the Cat. Very cool!
Happy TT!
I'm up at both Thornesworld
and The Eclectic Witch.
I hope you'll stop by!

French Fries with family followed by fruit and a fantasy/sci-fi film on a Friday~ fabulous!

Two 13's for the price of one! Both great lists. I love the smell of fresh cut grass even if it makes me sneeze, and those french fries are screaming to me.

Michelle said...

Very awesome list. I love lilacs too. I have 3 trees growing in my back yard. They're finally get huge. I look forward to their smell each spring. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea for a list. Thanks for visiting my TT!

I can get into many of your F stops...
except the ABBA. Brings back childhood memories of cleaning the house within an inch of its life, and the smell of Lemon Pledge....

Gattina said...

I love your "F" words! Especially my family, (water)falls, fountains and french fries.

Susan Helene Gottfried said...

You get to see foxes?? I am SO envious! Awesome animals, they are. Vital to the eco-system, too.

OMG - I love the pug widget - how funny! I'm trying to get the code to post it on one of my blogs just for fun today.

Loved Forrest Gump - picked it as one of my all time favorite Best Pictures last week. And French Fries - love my Fries with That - Pixel loves fries too.

I did food - I think about food a lot so I'm surprised I hadn't done this list before: MY 13 FAVORITE RECIPES (with free recipe cards with my own art) OF TINY FOODS (appetizers) from ME, THE DIVA OF TINY FOODS.

Happy TT - looking forward to "G" next week!

jenn said...

Faith, family, and friends...my "f" words.

samulli said...

Great list. I am with you on almost all those things, especially the foxes and the fireplaces. ;)
And this time I even know all the songs you listed.

Two - two - two great 13's in one! Loved the song list - every single one of those is on my list of favorites - hey, it's another F!

Eileen said...

Another very good TT list from you, Karen. Lilacs are my fave and cedar is good to. Happy TT! :)

The Gal Herself said...

What a great list! I especially liked your iPod TT, which ended with my all-time favorite Bee Gees song. (Wonder why it wasn't a bigger hit.)

Shoshana said...

I love Fernando. It used to be my crying song. LOL

tommie said...

Fantastic list! Happy Thursday, thanks for visiting my T13

Great TT list. I love flowers and their amazing fragrances. Foxes, we see them occasionally in our neighborhood and we are only 14km from the heart of Melbourne, They are really beautiful animals. :)

I love flowers, too. Especailly hydrangeas and tulips.

Great list! I love all the pictures you put with them as well. Happy TT!

CountryDew said...

What a great list. I love the smell of bread.

I like foxes, too, though not necessarily how they smell...

Anonymous said...

I love your lists! I've seen a few foxes recently too. I love seeing them. I like a lot of those songs too. Esp. Bette Midler, I love her!

Except for fragrances, this could be my F list! Fountains was a really good one. Love, love, love 'em!

Roxie said...

Father and Son by Cat Sevens. Great song. I love a warm fire on a cold rainy day. Great TT lists.

Jen said...

I LOVE Feels Like Home. Such a beautiful song!

Malcolm said...

When I rented "Forrest Gump" years ago, I was prepared to be disappointed because most movies don't live up to the hype. However, it surpassed my expectations and helped to put me in a great mood after a particularly bad day at work. By the way, french fries dipped in mayo are the best!

Thanks for stopping by my T13.

Do you hear the drums, Fernando?

Catharine said...

I love lilacs, too. I have three bushes in my backyard.

There is nothing better than sitting around a fire. I love food cooked over a fire and watching the flames. It is so easy to get transfixed. Watching waves does the same thing for me...very consoling.
