+Frozen Buns Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) OK, Since I had to be away from the forums for the last few months due to a remodeling job this winter at the retirement park I thought it would be fun to have a quick cointest for everyone. I have just moved back to the ranch in Comanche, TX for a few months before returning to Alaska, Company and relatives are still here but I had an opportunity to do something most women would NEVER do. My dad supervised this last week but was really surprised at how much I already knew how to do. There were actually 2 things and I might include the second as part of this cointest and therefore have 2 winners I will be giving clues all day Sunday but you can start guessing now. As soon as there is a winner I will give a choice of coins to choose from as their prize. To those who have seen the pictures or already heard what I was doing, please be kind and keep my secret.
