This Mother’s Day when  you visit your mother…and take her flowers, or  take her out to eat–please give her an extra hug for me when you say goodbye! My mother passed away in 2007– this day of celebration is hard for me, however, Mum will always remain close in heart!  She says as she wipes the tears away…

“Now let’s get on with the giveaway!

Johnny’s Adventure Makes Reading Fun

Reading is difficult for many children, including Johnny. Yet, there are ways to make reading more fun. See how Johnny’s adventure makes reading more fun for him.

Dennis Higgins

Parallel Roads (Lost on Route 66) on Kindle

When the spring of 1946 comes, Katherine Callahan decides to leave her loving husband and newborn baby so that she may embark upon an unknowingly tragic journey across the famous American highway from Chicago to her sister’s home in Burbank. She never does arrive.

Fast forward into the present, Kevin Callahan, Katherine’s grandson, along with his best friend Cheryl Bachman, traces his grandmother’s steps along the now decommissioned road to uncover the mystery surrounding her disappearance. They are armed with only a handful of postcards from Katherine and a Victorian secret code involving postage stamps surrounding a mysterious man from her past. This, along with Cheryl’s detective skills and an unusual, paranormal connection between Kevin and his grandmother transcending time itself, bring them closer to the truth as their lives merge in 1946.

Learn the basics about honeybees, where and how they live, by reading this very interesting, easy to understand story. Do all honeybees sting? What do they do with pollen? Are bees in trouble? How do they make honey? What can we do to benefit the bees? You will find these answers and more in Buzzzzzzzz What Honeybees Do. Real photographs inside the book get you up close and personal with our greatest pollinator the honeybee, including one of a bee’s tongue…
