Books that went to press or back to press this week:

THEN CAME HEAVEN, by Gilda Arruda

   Then Came Heaven is a source of inspiration and guidance; it serves as a loving example of what it means to live no matter where the truth may lead you or how difficult it may be.

to develop a sense of worth within ourselves.

Jack's News!

  by your bookstore cat, 
and gossip columnist!

 

The only news I had this week was from Andy Nunez, who sent in a big order and said half of them were "sold already." PIRATES seems to be proving as popular as expected. I don't know much about Pirates, but I do  understand that many bos'uns mates had cats.  Somebody told me they had Nine Tails! Now that I do not believe!

In Memorium

We had lots of bad news here this week. Chrissy, who had been pretty sick with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, passed away on Tuesday morning. She was in the same hospital I go to, so I know she got good care. When she got home Shelley did everything the doc said, but she we lost her.


So Dave did get home on Wednesday, but his oldest girl wasn't there to meet him. Friday is acting sad and learning how to be an "only dog." Meanwhile, Chrissy was laid to rest in the woods behind the house, with help from a neighbor. All their neighbors have been very helpful. Dave is pretty sick, too. Lots of pain and nausea. Arline will be going down for a few days next week, because Shelley has to go back to work.

Please don't forget to let me know 

what you are all up to! 

Just send me an e-mail with

I'll make sure it shows up right here. 
Thanks!
