I knew when I read Dirk's entry it would probably win, such a sweet story. Congratulations to all the winners! And thank you Sol for these limited word and prompted contests, they've made me a better writer.

Re: On the Water Contest Results

Thanks, George. This is my second win. Proceeds will go to Marilyn's animal sanctuary if I could only find the email address. :-)

Sol, thank you for running this contest. Thanks also to the judges for their time.
Congratulations to the other winners and everyone who entered. There were some really great contest entries.

Re: On the Water Contest Results

So many good entries in this contest. Judging it must have been tough!  Congrats to the winners. To Dirk, I knew you had it in you. Awesome story. A well-deserved win.

Dirk, anyone who cares about animals as much as you and Marilyn, has a special place in heaven. You Canadians are sooooooo nice...no wonder some people want Canada to be the 51st state. big_smile

>>You Canadians are sooooooo nice
That may be a misconception. We only appear chill up here because it's so damned cold. :-)

>>no wonder some people want Canada to be the 51st state
they want our "socialist" health insurance

>who cares about animals as much as you and Marilyn
Goodness. Marilyn's light years beyond anything most people do for animals, myself included.

Ah, I knew yours would win when I read it. It is a fabulous story! Congrats to all of you!  And a big thanks to Sol for the contest. They're always much fun, especially the picture ones with limited words. Loved it!

Happy trails, smile

OMG, Dirk! What a wonderful surprise! Thank you so much! I'll email you the address if you've lost it. Let me know! My 72 animals will be grateful, and Raymond, the turkey, will want to sniff you out. He's the sheriff of these enchanted woods! smile

For those who don't know it, Dirk has been a big supporter of our Animal Rescue efforts for years. He's a good guy to have on your side. Now, if he'd just get two cats... just sayin'... smile smile

Re: On the Water Contest Results

Congrats, Dirk!

Re: On the Water Contest Results

Thank you, Marilyn & Lynn.

Marilyn, Sol will be in touch for the info he needs to send you to the money. I did finally find the email address, but I'm not sure if that's all he needs.
Lynn, any plans to start posting anything new? Maybe we can get the old band back together. :-)

Seriously thinking about the cats, but I have some medical stuff to get through first.
