The things Walt Disney created and accomplished in his lifetime 9. Whales 10. That airplanes -- huge objects that weigh a lot -- can actually fly 11. Google Earth (I'm a geek, what can I say? I love maps) 12. There's a moment from my childhood. A friend and I were walking from his place to mine. To get there, we had to hike over a hill. When cresting the hill, he and I walked into a clearing in which two enormous deer stood. We all froze. I stared at these hulking objects, convinced they were statues because they were so absolutely still. My friend and I stepped forward toward the deer -- they did not move. We stepped closer and, with hands outstretched, reached for their fur. They sprung to life and darted away through the trees. I watched them disappear and smiled in awe, convinced it was a dream but knowing it was real. It's always stuck with me. 13. I marvel at our species' storytelling -- that we have stepped so far out of the realm of other animals into a world in which we create such magical things such as stories. The idea of passing on a tale that means something to somebody shows that we have an innate need to entertain and to instill feelings in others. And it's not just the storytellers, but the actors, the directors -- everyone! That's it this week, folks. See you next time. TMM Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. Snickerdoodles |

Loved it! How cool you and paisley are married. I loved her list...and commented on how adorable it is that her hubby puts his leg over hers when he can't hold her hand. Precious! (And the fact that her parents have been married for 43 years after hardly knowing each other.) I had no idea you were hubby. I feel like I just found out two friends are dating :p
Great list! Thanks for stopping by today.
You're amazing. I love you.
