Winners & Runners Up And the winners are . . . AGES 9-12 – Marenn Harris, “A Circus Catastrophe” AGES 13-17 – Calah Keup, “The Prank War” The Runners’ Up are the three stories in each category that you voted on, but they did not win the top place...

I decided that putting the Fan Fun Extra books on Lulu.com is too much of a hassle. I mean, really? Who even goes there? So, I put The Terrible Secret, Trouble at the Line Shack, and (NEW!) Behind the Scenes on the Circle C Ranch up on Amazon. Here i...

This was one of the most amazing and fun things Kristel and I have done with Jewels and Maggie during their pregnancies. We had heard about the old wive’s tale of being able to determine a foal’s gender in utero by using a regular nail and a length o...

Here’s a really nice video of Taffy, Kody, and especially Jewels running in the wind. I know it’s not really an Andi post, but hey, the name “Taffy” is included, and it’s the best I can come up with this week. When the writing contest ends, I will st...

I’m going to go ahead and annouce the What Am I Winner so you don’t have to wait for December’s what am I game in the newsletter. And the winner is . . . Daisy J. I received 131 guesses, and out of those, 59 guessed correctly (so those of you who wis...

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...
