Readers’ Choice Voting

I made the decision to put the top four of each category into a readers’ choice voting. Why? Because my two judges had a very hard time landing on a winner for each category. They gave me different stories for the winners and runners up. So, instead of me having to make the final decisions,Continue reading “Readers’ Choice Voting”

Five Fun Giveaways

The nice thing about being a Circle C Newsletter subscriber is the fact that you would know about my Five Christmas Giveaways. Yes, that’s right. With traveling to Texas and caught up (to my eyebrows) with swapping howdies with Taffy and Kody, plus checking out the pregnant goats, I forgot all about telling my faithfulContinue reading “Five Fun Giveaways”

What Am I #21 – Winner

Jewels Gender Reveal

That’s right! Kristel had a free ultrasound today at the equine hospital so she could bring the mares in to find out if they are having a filly or a colt. Maggie’s foal was way too active (and 20 days younger than Jewels’s foal), so alas. Maggie will have to wait until I go downContinue reading “Jewels Gender Reveal”

Working with Taffy

Since you readers like to hear about the real Taffy, here is a current (yesterday!) video of Kristi working with Taffy to behave herself and lift her front legs. Poor Taffy has a rare form of laminitis, when the farrier believes affected her because of the stress of moving as a young foal last year.Continue reading “Working with Taffy”

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”
