Just to let you all know, l have not forgotten about the author’s-peek version of Trouble at the Line Shack. I revised it, added to it (158 pp.), and just sent off for the proof copy (not that it means there won’t be mistakes. I do miss things once in a while). However, this isContinue reading “Trouble at the Line Shack”

Mini-Mae’s Countdown
Everybody asks about Mini-Mae. It seems she has been in foal for years. Although her udder has filled, she is not interested in delivering a mini-mini-baby any time soon.

A New Andi Story
Anna Parks, a winner of the 2021 annual Circle C story-writing contest, asked if I would post her six-part fan fiction story.

Make a Miner’s Stove
Here’s a fun activity that really works. But first, let’s find out what a gold-rush miner was and why he needed a “miner’s stove.” Hang on for a scary ride into the dark! The Midas mine in Goldtown (Goldtown Adventures) is a “hard-rock mine.” In this type of gold mine, the gold is embedded (stuck)Continue reading “Make a Miner’s Stove”
Which Circle C Character Are You?
One of Andi’s fans, Julia, created this fun personality quiz for other Circle C fans back in June 2016. I found it when I was going through the old blog posts (on Blogger) and deciding which ones to keep and repost and which ones to delete. This one is a “keeper.” RULE: Don’t peek atContinue reading “Which Circle C Character Are You?”
