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.

Jack's News!

  by your bookstore cat, 
and gossip columnist!

 

Author Andy Nunez wrote to say he plans to be at the National Outdoor Show in Golden Hill and hopes to have Advance Copies of the recently published PIRATES with him. We ordered them and I sure hope they get to him in time. This book has been in the works for a long time and still may not be the last of his series...

 

From what I hear the National Outdoor Show is always fun. They have lots of good fun. Hunting dog trials, shooting and trapping contests and even Muskrat recipes, though I'm sure I wouldn't care for those. I only eat crunchy things, you know. Nothing soft. I'm a Tom. Soft food is for pussycats!

Arline is better this morning  and Roger gave her Chocolates for Valentine's day. Chcolate always picks her up. We are getting ready for another birthday celebration, too. Sid's birthday was yesterday, but we will celebrate on Sunday when the whole family will be here.

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 right here. 
Thanks!
