Where Can I Buy a Watch?

Did you ever think about how certain big stores got their start? Ever heard of the old Sears & Roebuck company? If not, you may enjoy this fun history tale from Andi’s point of view.

Vote for Contests

I have had requests about when I am going to host the Circle C Annual Writing Contest again.

Peach Cobbler and Ice Cream

First Days at Fort Laramie

See more Riley’s Ramblings ➡️ June 1877, Fort Laramie, Wyoming The first thing I did when we got to the fort (after helping Mama and Pa unpack, that is), was hightail it to the stables and mount Midnight.

Circle C Fun Pack

I hadn’t planned on posting on Saturday, since I’ve already posted every day this week, but I couldn’t help it.

I put together theContinue reading “Circle C Fun Pack”
