What Am I❓ #20 – Kiwi

Check out the other What Am I games >> This was an easy one, which may explain why I had 199 entries, with 197 correct answers. Whoosh. That certainly breaks a record. Kiwi is the correct answer and is one of my favorite fruits (expensive little delights). I like the Sungold kiwis, by the way,Continue reading “What Am I❓ #20 – Kiwi”

Fall Story-writing Contest Launches

Note: Due to the fact that the contest launches today, I will announce last week’s “What Am I?” winner in tomorrow’s post. Today is the day! The Circle C & Goldtown Fall Story-writing contest launches. I won’t repeat here what you can easily find over on the Current Contest Page, except to say that thereContinue reading “Fall Story-writing Contest Launches”

Miss Colleen Reece’s Memorial Page

In case anyone would like to learn more about Miss Reece and see photos of her as a young girl, young woman, and some of her family and friends (I’m in a few of the photos), Julie (her niece) and I finished creating a nice site over on what used to be Colleen’s website. Yes,Continue reading “Miss Colleen Reece’s Memorial Page”

Taffy Update

In my search to at least make an attempt to post something, I found a fun little update about the real “Taffy.” First of all, Kristi completed a Valley of Treasure Goldtown Adventures lapbook activity the other day. In the book, Aunt Rose packs a grub sack for Jem, Ellie, and Strike to take alongContinue reading “Taffy Update”

Circle C Fall Writing Contest Coming Soon

Yes, I am hosting the Circle C fall writing contest, October 10-November 13. Originally, because I’m headed for Texas December 3-17, IContinue reading “Circle C Fall Writing Contest Coming Soon”

Books 7 & 8 Covers

Okay, this was supposed to be a Photo Friday post, but I hit the wrong button. Instead of deleting it and confusing everybody, I have decided to let it stand. So, pretend this is FRIDAY. LOL I have the covers for Circle C Adventures Books 7 and 8 at last. Kregel made a big decisionContinue reading “Books 7 & 8 Covers”

Our Writing Judge Went Home!

My dear friend, mentor, and one of our writing judges for all of of the many contests I have hosted over the years has moved! She has taken up residence in heaven with Jesus and is no doubt experiencing joy that cannot be expressed. Mrs. M, on the other hand, is very sad. I wasContinue reading “Our Writing Judge Went Home!”

What Am I❓ #19 – Burlap

Check out the other What Am I games >> I received 177 entries, and a good portion of them guessed correctly – burlap or burlap sack. However, I also accepted “potato sack” and “feed sack.” At first I was not going to accept “feed sack,” because modern feed sacks are not made out of burlap,Continue reading “What Am I❓ #19 – Burlap”

The Final Ultrasound

This is it. The final ultrasound, Lord willing, for Jewels (Taffy’s dam) and Maggie (the free mare who lost her first foal because of her age and lack of progesterone). Since she went into heat last month, Kristel has been giving her progesterone shots to hopefully maintain the pregnancy. At 16 days, she had aContinue reading “The Final Ultrasound”
