by Evelyn Frederick Moll
It was a normal, hot summer day for Josh Sparkins…lazily swinging in a hammock and thinking about the upcoming school year. Then thoughts of his Gramps’s Ancient Magic book pop into his head. Remembering his recent use of his time-stopping ability and aging a year in the process brings a chill to the air.

THE KIDNAPPING OF SEN. ANDY THOMPSON: Adventures on Capital Hill Series, Vol. 2.
by Celine Rose Mariotti
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to have U.S. Senators who
really did their job, got along well, and stood up for what was right? This is
not your typical book about politics.

health care debate. Senators Andy
Thompson and Hunt Wagner lead the way with a resolution to try to stop
President Robinson and Secretary von Schumann from sending troops to Botswana. But a real adventure begins when Senator
Thompson is kidnapped and Brian Travors, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of
State is suspected of being involved.
Senators Hunt Wagner and Darius Clemens head a committee hearing to get
to the truth. President Robinson suffers
a heart attack and Vice-President Barry Newman takes over temporarily. This book is a real page turner! Read it and you’ll have hope for tomorrow!
Earthquake in Messina Italy, in the early 20th Century
STORYBOOK II, by Elena Dorothy Bowman
Within the pages of this book are stories that my mother once told me;
of certain incidences that she remembered. But mostly it is compiled of
the memories that were a part of all our lives.
There were happy times and there were sad times. It was a time of struggle, of prosperity, of joblessness, of wondering where the next paycheck would come from. Times when a “breadwinner” didn’t have the money to buy a quart of milk, put bread on the table, or a dime to ride the trolley to work. Even a time when the poor didn’t know they were poor. But always, a family that stood together no matter what problems they were facing.

Hi Everybody!
Here's hoping you had a wonderful holiday and wishing everyone all the best and plenty of success for the coming year.
Roger is feeling much better and so is Arline. She did get out of the hospital for Christmas, but she didn't do much. Just sat in her chair all day. Sid and Kathy picked up a Fast Food Chicken dinner -- no cooking for Christmas this year! But she did make lasagne for New Years, so things are getting back to normal.
Don't forget to let me know what you are all up to! Just send me an e-mail with News for Jack in the subject line, and I'll make sure it shows up here.
