Just yesterday, I received a very interesting comment. Instead of answering in the comment section, I thought I’d post the comment here and talk about it (I’m in the middle of packing, so any excuse to post an insightful post is always welcome!) Here...

John P. won the Goldtown Giveaway! I received 229 contestants. Including all the bonus entries, I received 2,175 entries! John replied already and said his daughter will be excited. I was going to announce this on Monday (after Resurrection Day), but...

So, I made the decision. Since many of you wanted a Reader’s Voting because you wanted to read more stories, I decided to post the top five (5) finalists in each age category. (10 stories in all to read). I would not have given you that many to vote...

Check out the other What Am I games >> Sadly, the original winner, Kaitlyn, did not claim her prize (she had 48 hours, and it’s been an extra day past that). So, Random.org chose another winner. DORCAS! (#7). The scary thing is . . . that I alm...
