    Elizabeth – No worries at all. Blogger does that at times….. Thanks as ever for this treasure trove! And thanks for including something of mine, too.

    1. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsJanuary 22, 2012

      Blogger sure does! Thanks for coming by. :)

  2. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsJanuary 22, 2012

    And my apologies for the peculiar formatting of this post! Blogger and I have not been getting along the last couple of days. Sigh.

  3. Alex J. CavanaughJanuary 22, 2012

    I didn’t mind the different formatting.

    1. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsJanuary 22, 2012

      Glad it didn’t bother you too much. It’s just sort of squished in there without my usual line breaks. Finally decided to stop messing with it and just post it. :)

  4. TaraJanuary 23, 2012

    Love these links every week! I always look forward to it! Thank you!
