Each winner will receive this awesome #BlogBattle Winner Badge to display with their winning story on their webpage:
Voted today, hope that’s not too late, but the poll is still up. Difficult decision, so many great stories.

Yes, Marje! Totally fine. I haven’t had time to finish reading all the stories as I spent days prepping for a camping trip to my grandma’s and have been here since Thursday. We’ve been super busy and the only reason I’m awake now is crazy wind that came out of nowhere! Had to move the family in Grammy’s house. I hope to get the winner and finish reading tomorrow. Now I shall try to go back to sleep! Thank you so Mitch fire reading and voting!!! Remember, even if you can’t write one week you can still read and vote.

Thanks! All fixed now! For some reason I haven’t received a pingback for it yet. That happened with story a couple weeks ago, too.
It was two days later when WP finally notified me of the pingback. I’m glad we got it in there!

Thanks Rachael. I was going to have a bit of a break from blogging this week as my house is in turmoil, (due to a major kitchen re-fit), but somehow I couldn’t help but be enticed by the thought of a spaghetti story!
