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”

Fan Fiction

Sara Miller – Baking Up Stories > – found a fan fiction story in her Google Docs. Come to find out, she had sent it in last winter. Mrs. M had diligently put it up over on the Fan Fiction site and then promptly forgotten about it. In other words, she never announced it hereContinue reading “Fan Fiction”

Which Cover? Follow Up

My publisher has been really going to town with redoing the Goldtown Adventures covers. Thanks for letting me know about which cover you preferred. Most seemed to go for cover #1, and here is the final, official cover the cover folks at Kregel sent me just last week. In face, they also redid cover #4,Continue reading “Which Cover? Follow Up”

A Sweet Surprise

Andi’s Journal, late August 1887 Riley never ceases to amaze and surprise me! It’s the last week of August, and the California sun has just about sucked every drop from Memory Creek. I am just happy we have a good, deep well and enough wind to keep it turning and bringing up water for theContinue reading “A Sweet Surprise”

The Terrible Secret New Cover

The original cover of the fan fun extra book, Andrea Carter and the Terrible Secret, just never looked like I envisioned Justin. But now . . . I have created a much better Justin. What do you think? He’s not 100% the way I envision him, but he’s better than what I had before! IContinue reading “The Terrible Secret New Cover”

One More Time!

Off to the vet go Maggie and Jewels . . . If you recall, Maggie lost her foal, most likely due to her age (24 years old). She got a hormone shot and went into heat, and Rubicon and she got together. Rubicon has like a . . . 99.9% “settling” average. In other words,Continue reading “One More Time!”

What Am I❓ #18 – Winner

Check out the other What Am I games >> Wow! 172 entries, I think the most ever. This was a much easier game, as demonstrated by nearly 100% right answers (which makes the odds of winning much harder, LOL)). 169 correct guesses! It’s the image of a honeycomb. Congratulations, Kristi R. You were the randomContinue reading “What Am I❓ #18 – Winner”

Off to the Vet!

Remember when I asked you to pray that Jewels does not have twins? This 2-minute video shows Kristel off to the equine vet with both Jewels (tobiano paint) and Maggie, who as I announced a couple of weeks ago, was bred and we have/had the ultrasound to prove it ➡️ Well, the unexpected happens sometimes.Continue reading “Off to the Vet!”
