| Hello, hello – it the absent Calico here! AND she does not even have a mug of tea in hand as she settles down to poll the entries on ‘Giving Up’ Gosh – I will have to have words with the staff. Anyhow ... a 'Hello Again' wave to you all and muchos thanks to Maz for covering my paws on bandanna distribution last month. Did you all enjoy that lovely selection of giving up stories?? Course you did. Now the hard part - time to peel yourselves off your respective radiators (NO!!!) and decide: Which out of all those masterpieces deserves the extra special Waterproof and Fleece Lined January bandanny?? It's never easy, huh? As always - every gal who sent in a challenge - even if NOT polling - gets a special grateful hug from the boys.  | |

| Did you think I'd forgotten??? Did you think I was just lolling around thinking about dinner and suddenly shooting bolt upright squealing, hey - it's bandanny time....?? Well -... maybe! Still, you've had the suspense factor, huh?? And now, it is time for the awarding of the extra special RAINPROOF bandanny. Wear it Her Madge headsquare style gals and keep those ears cosy. And I'm speaking to...  FRANKIE
and
SISTER GRACE...Well deserved - and Share nicely! Of course as the boys deliver the bandanny...  They will stop to deliver love and kisses to ALL the wondrous ones who shared challenge stories. Always appreciated - everyone. Keeeeeeeeeeeeep writing!!!!!!!!!  [/color] | |

| Sheesh I suppose I have to congratulate them even though they will both want Kid.  Okay...  Frankie and Sister Grace. Have fun with Heyes. Yes I said Heyes...you don't seriously think I'd let Kid out in this awful weather did you?

| What a GREAT batch of stories in January!  Howls of Hoorah to each and every writer! An extra Howl to Frankie,  for being willing to share the bandana.  A stagecoach full of gratitude to those who take the time to read and comment. Your encouragement and constructive feedback is appreciated more than you know.  You are awesome! (Frankie - The Kid said to tell ya he was about to head over to your place for a bit, but he can't seem to locate his boots.)
