Where is Felicia Filly?

 

Well, howdy everyone! I’ve hit the road again, and you’ll never guess just where I am! Though, I hope that you will, since there’s a prize for one person who does! Are you ready for a little guessing? She showed me around her home, and boy, she sure does love books! I tried to count how many of these Nancy Drew books she has, but when I got to over 200, I had to stop. She whispered to me that she has even more in boxes, and she’s run out of room!

 

I thought it was just so sweet that even though she still has children at home, and they are 18 and 13, she keeps so many of their old pictures hanging up. Can you tell they are boys, by all of those superheroes?

 

 

I asked her what sorts of things that she liked to do. She told me that while they can’t vacation this year, she’s really hoping to go next year to her most favorite place, and then showed me this huge map of Disney World she has hanging in the hallway! I think I like the sounds of Frontierland! I’d fit right in, with my cowboy hat and boots!

 

 

This Filly then wanted to show me the view from her backyard. My goodness! Those Blue Ridge Mountains are something else, aren’t they? Those goats aren’t hers, but there’s a field that backs up to their subdivision, and a farmer who alternates between hay, goats, and cows. I’d say those are some real good neighbors!

 

 

It was time for me to skedaddle, but I asked this Filly to show me one of her favorite books she’d written, to give you one more clue. This is the one that she shared!

 

 

Well now, have you guessed who this Filly is? And where she might be living? Take a guess here, and I’ll be randomly choosing one person to give a $10 Amazon gift card to! That way you can do a little book shopping for yourself!

Whoo-hoo, friends! I’m here today in the beautiful southwest visiting a filly who’s lived for most of her life in the in a state that boasts one of the seven natural wonders or the world. Do you know which wonder? (hint: it’s quite “grand”) Growing up in a city that used to call itself “The West’s Most Western Town”, how could she not have ridden and raised horses since her high school days?

This filly thought it would be fun to treat me like a cute cowgirl version of Elf on a Shelf. She posed me on different shelves around her house that, if you look closely, will give you a clue about her and her life. Can you guess who she is?

Clue #1

She loves to collect horse statues, especially Breyer horses, and still has one that she got for Christmas when she was fourteen. The brass ones in this photo are antiques – another kind of the horses she likes to collect.

Clue #2

This filly and her husband do a lot of traveling. She has two shelves filled with little trinkets from places they’ve been.

Clue #3

She recently redecorated her office and has surrounded herself with things that motivate and inspire her. One office wall is filled with cute cat pictures. What else would you expect from this kitty lover?

Clue #4

Yet another wall in her office is filled with typewriters. The one on the far left is over a hundred-years old (I did mention she collects antiques). See those badges hanging from the hooks? They are from her volunteer work with the Alzheimer’s Association – a cause that’s near and dear to her heart.

Clue #5

Last but not least, this filly has a book scheduled to come out this summer. She confided in me that she’s really excited about this release and will be telling you more about in soon!

Well, all I can say after my visit with this filly is, with all these shelves and stuff on them, I wouldn’t want to have to be the one to dust her house (hee, hee).

Can you guess who I visited? A randomly drawn winner will receive a $10 gift card!

Howdy, y’all. Felicia here.

Well now, I’ve gone and wandered clear across the country again, and this stop? Ohhh, it’s been somethin’ special. First thing this Filly did was set me down at the table with a plate piled high with cookies. I reckon she was tryin’ to sweeten me up… and I ain’t complainin’ none.

After that, we took a little walk… okay, maybe we drove for a bit first. But wouldn’t you know it—I ended up where the breeze is soft, the sand’s warm, and the water stretches out farther than my eyes can see. I tell ya, it near took my breath away.

Now this Filly’s got a knack for tellin’ stories that make folks smile, but don’t let that fool ya—she’s got more than one trick up her sleeve. I got a feelin’ she could spin a tale just about anywhere and make you believe every word of it.
All righty… let’s see if you can figure out where I’ve landed!

Clue #1

This Filly now calls California home.

Clue #2

She’s known for writin’ sweet, wholesome romances full of heart.

Clue #3

She’s spent plenty of time out West with cowboys and small towns… but she don’t always stay there.

Clue #4

If you stop by, you just might find something fresh-baked waitin’ for you.

Clue #5

This Filly sure does know how to tell a story, whether it’s set in a dusty western town or somewhere a little more… unexpected.

Guess the Filly

All right now, have you figured out who I’m visitin’?

Drop her name in the comments, but don’t go braggin’ if you’re sure! We wanna keep things fair for everyone. The mystery Filly will pick a winner and send that lucky reader a $10 Amazon gift card so you can do a little book shoppin’.

If any of y’all know how to say no to a second cookie… or a third… I’d surely appreciate the advice.

Until next time, cowpokes…
Happy Trails to You!

Where is Felicia Filly?

Hello everyone! I just had the best time visiting one of the fillies in  her home state. I had quite the tour. I started at her home where she has really nice views! No wonder they call it Big Sky Country!

Of course it snowed shortly after I got there because the weather is unpredictable there. We had to feed the cows. I stood back, but enjoyed watching.

The snow melted in short order. Temperature swings are common here, I gather. Because of that my hosts took me to see the neighboring critters. Don’t worry–I stayed on my side of the fence.

After that we had so much fun going to the rodeo! The local cowboys were kind enough to allow me to hang around behind the chutes and watch the action!

And finally we ended the trip with a horseback ride in the mountains.

The very handsome cowboy who accompanied us held my horse and took this picture. What a sweetheart!

Can you guess who I visited? A randomly chosen correct guess will win a $10 Amazon gift card!

Howdy, y’all. Felicia here. I’m tickled pink ’cause the Fillies have all invited me to pay a call on them this year. They even agreed to put up Jasper for a few days. Whooee! I’ve been itchin’ to see more of the country, and now I finally have the chance. Besides, I already done chased away all the single cowboys in these here parts, so I’m hopin’ to try my luck in some new stompin’ grounds. All the Fillies asked is that I turn my visits into a blog game for our readers. Shoot. I been askin’ for more blog time anyhow. Seems like one of them win-win situations.

And speakin’ of WINS – y’all will be getting a chance to do just that. Whenever one of my travelogue posts show up, all you gotta do is guess which Filly I’m visitin’ based on the clues I give ya. Now, if you’re sure about your answer, don’t go braggin’ in the comments. We wanna keep this fair for everyone. Just leave the name of the Filly you think I’m visiting.

Where is Felicia Filly?

Clue #1 – This Filly lives somewhere in Texas.

Clue #2 – This Filly likes to sip on hot tea and munch on nuts and dark chocolate to keep her fueled while writin’.

Hey, speakin’ of the Alamo – if memory serves, this Filly wrote a series of books with characters named after folks who were at the Alamo.

Clue #3 – This Filly collects them cute little Willow Tree figurines.

Clue #4 – Besides readin’ and writin’ this Filly also enjoys . . . (I bet you were thinkin’ I was gonna say ‘rithmetic. Nope!) . . . cross stitchin’. Last time I tried to sew something I near poked my eye out. Needles and me don’t get along.

Clue #5 – This Filly writes western fairy tales. With all them happy endings hangin’ about I thought I’d try to rope me a cowboy I done met, but the slipperly critter got away. Left his boot behind, though. Hey – that reminds me of one of those books.
