Squeaky's Farm
"Mama was comfortable with her self-proclaimed role as Reina de la Finca (Queen of the Farm). Worse yet, her numerous illegitimate, "gangsta" feral offspring roamed the farm, no longer afraid to approach the house. Mama had reinforcement for her efforts to banish Squeaky."
Since page 56 is just a picture this snippet is actually from page 55.
Author Carolyn Parker is giving the proceeds from copies of her books purchased at our local humane society to the Cat Management Coalition. The CMC is dedicated to controlling the feral cat population in our area through the trap/neuter/return program. Speaking of which, I will be working with the program all day tomorrow and possibly Saturday. So if I'm not around much for the next day or so you'll know where I am.

thanks for the heads up you will be MIA for a couple of days
That's a very good cause. I like the name Squeaky.
This one sounds cute...thanks for sharing.
Here's MY FRIDAY MEMES POST
From Kate Atkinson's book, "When Will There Be Good News?" -- "He passed a fence post that had a bird of prey, a hawk or a falcon, perched on top of it like a finial."
Luv it. I'm going to have to memorize that title cause I'm the "Queen of the Farm" around our place!
From Shards of Crimson:
"Show me," she said simply, with a smile that had regularly charmed even the most difficult courtiers to their knees.
Very interesting! Wonder what Squeaky did that Mama wants to banis him?
Here are my Friday memes: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/07/friday-memes_29.html
Morning Ms. J, Miss Cindi Lou and the kitty krew!!
Pg. 56, "Who's Kitten Who" by Cynthia Baxter....the mom has just arrived home to clean up before her in-laws arrive only to find the kitten has been busy during her absence,
"Nick! I thought with relief. He's home early. He is going to help me clean up the feathers and the toilet paper before his parents arrive." It wasn't Nick it was her in-laws hours early. LOL
Hugs Madi and Mom

Did I hear the proceeds go to the kitties? God bless the donor!
So program you work on is a wonderful cause. I used to live in an apartment where there were lots of stray cats, the females are always pregnant. They could use a CMC nearby.
