Friday Fragments is hosted my Half-Past Kissin' Time for bloggers to post a list of short things on their minds that aren't really enough for a whole post. Here we go:
Cool Christmas Video of Flash Mob
I discovered Barbara this week over at Mighty Inspiration and loved this post she did sharing a video of people joining in singing some Christmas carols at a mall. I loved it! She visited my blog to ask that I post her link to the list of blogs who donate to charity for comments. This month her charity is Heartprints.org which is a new one for me! Be sure to stop by and let her know I sent you!More Presents For Gerard
Gerard celebrated his 60th Birthday Monday and he even got a free pizza last Sunday from Casamel's (our regular pizza place that we go to every Sunday). Then when he went back to work on Tuesday, his co-workers surprised him with a cute birthday card and a $50 gift card for Outback Steakhouse. That's a new restaurant for us so it should be fun to go somewhere new! Thanks!
Gift For Grandpa
Over at 4 the LOVE of BOOKS, I came across a very cool book called "Grandpa, Were You Ever Young? by William C. Cloud. It's written in a way for Grandpa to share memories with his grand kids and provide interaction between the generations. It sounds like it would be a great Christmas gift!Money
At church last week, our pastor mentioned that $450 billion is spent on gifts each year in the USA. The world's water problem could be solved with $20 billion. Hmm.Like Cookies?
At my Women of Wonder (W.O.W.) meeting last night, I was introduced to the idea of a cookie exchange. Have you ever participated in one of these or hosted one? You invite several people way ahead to bake like 6 dozen cookies and then everyone brings them all and they have a party. Each person loads up a big tupperware container with lots of different cookies. See www.cookie-exchange.com by Robin Olson for specific rules for the exchange and recipes to try.Animal Facts
I am reading All God's Creatures by Gary Richmond and picking up lots of interesting facts. Here are a few I didn't know before:► Ostriches basically ignore their young, whereas wolves are very family oriented and both the male and female are actively involved in raising their young.
► Snakes never close their eyes because they do not even have eyelids and are consider the cleanest animal.
► Pigs eat anything, even poisonous snakes!
► The bear is considered to be the most ferocious and dangerous animal by zoo keepers because they are strong and so unpredictable.

Snakes? The cleanest animal? Well, okay if you say so...but I still dislike them with a passion.
Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks

Very cool animal facts. I love em'
Happy birthday to Gerard! Free pizza and a gift card to a restaurant? Awesome!
I would have thought that tigers were the most ferocious. Learn something new every day :)
I am with Anni when it comes to snakes. I don't like snakes and now that I know pigs don eat them we may just by a pig!
I hope you have a great day!
Jackie:-)
This is the second mention of pizza in my rounds this morning. I'm hungry for pizza now. Wonder if I can get a free one though. Probably not. Way to go on the Outback gift certificate too.
Have a terrific day and weekend. :)
I don't mind snakes, unless they'd like to kill me, of course, in which case I'd like to have a pig handy.
I used to participate in cookie swaps, but now I prefer soup swaps--There is much less guilt involved. Come to think of it, I should get one organized.
Have a great weekend, Karen. Thanks for linking up!
I learn so much visiting your blog!! Thank you for that!
Outback is ok, I prefer Texas Roadhouse ;-)
I keep reeling over the national debt and the fact that both candidates could have paid it off with their campaign funds :-(
Woohoo for Gerald and free pizza!!
Glad Gerard had a wonderful birthday week! :) For the money one, unfortunately I can believe it. How sad that is. And I have participated in a cookie exchange before. They're lots of fun. You get so many different kinds of cookies. The only problem I had was I got some I didn't like, and then what do I do? I finally took them to work and they were gone in 10 minutes. Thank goodness for co-workers who love cookies! :)
