SOPHIA THE CAT AND MAYOR MOLLY MCcMOLE, BOOK ONE OF THE ADVENTURES OF MAYOR MOLLY McMOLE

CAT SOPHIA BEFORE SHE FELL DOWN THE MOLE HOLE

Lorraine Strieby is out of the office now so I want to talk about my best friend, Cat Sophia,

and our friendship did not start out smoothly.

Her owners wanted to get rid of me because of my mole holes.  She was

"hell bent" on destroying my Mole Town with all its castles.  My only

hope was to make her my friend which I did by having a party in the cafe

right next to my office--rock band,  salmon.

Like all cats, she is an independent soul.  Down,  deep down, she has a heart of gold and knows what is the right things to do.

She definitely is not a homebody, and loves adventure, new challenges to overcome.

Scary and villainous she was at the beginning of our adventure, but she evolves into a protective and loving companion to me and later a wonderful lady we met in Valdez,

Alaska.

Well here she comes, so I'll just jump down my mole hole and maybe have

tea with Cat Sophia--Bye...

Mayor Molly McMole, Abby, Sophia, and Sophia Visit Italy in
ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME

In Book 3 Ms Abby takes us all to Italy.
Who knew that we moles and Sophia would be so lucky,but Abby loved Sophia and
learned to love us and wanted us to join her on her yearly trips to Italy and Hawaii.
In this painting you can see the places we visited.  Abby rented a motor cycle
and bought a cart for us and somehow she found small helmets for us and
around Rome we went.  We stayed in a fancy hotel near the Four River Fountain that Bernini
sculpted in Navona Square.  What a treat to see all the pigeons on Bernini's statues and the four horses of the
Apocalypse that are on St Mark's Basilica, ride on a gondola, and just be there.
She takes us to Florence too and we really have some adventures in the Ufizzi Museum.
Gus, our Omega Mole always manages to get into trouble and we almost got thrown out of there.
Remember we are moles so we are rarely seen and we know how to fool you.
Well, here the villain starts to show himself, Snookims is his name, a big fat cat who
is starting to show envy of Abby giving Cat Sophia so much attention.
Your kids will learn so much about Italy and famous art pieces.  I can't wait to show
you some of Strieby and Sandro's s sketches. I counted them--250 paintings in 6 books.
WhooHoo, who knew.  on Kindle

Whoops, Strieby  is starting to work in her Studio.  Time for me to hop and jump down
my mole hole. Happy Valentine's Day

The Adventures of Mayor Molly McMole

Abby, Mayor Molly McMole's Savior

Will here I am again writing for Lorraine Strieby.   I was really

scared by heading on the ferry to the Gulf of Alaska.  There are no moles

there.  It is too cold and the permafrost  brrrrrrrrr.  However,  I

knew that my Cousin Vinnie (the shrew) was in real estate and maybe he could save the day. He is quite talented, building ice castles and selling/renting them so I called him on my cell and he had the

right castle for us, but I was still dubious about the cold and the comfort for my tribe of moles who I really loved and, of course, Cat Sophia, who was the diplomat and could get human friends to help us.  

Well she did while I was trying to keep everyone warm in the ice castle under blankets, Sophia wandered down by the pier where she smelled smoked salmon.  There she met a chef, named Abby, who was a grad from USC and managed the family restaurant, the Hungry Crab.  She met

her husband at USC and he was a super fisherman in Valdez.  Well, Abby fell in love

with Cat Sophia and she brought us food and filled us in on how nice Abby was.

And we slowly met her and she liked being a friend of a mole tribe.

Also

she being used to Southern California, visited Italy and Hawaii during the cold months.

Here, in Alaska we met the villain.  Oh, Strieby is here so I have to say Bye and

hop down my mole hole.

MAYOR MOLLY MEETS A FRIEND

When Mayor Molly McMole and her tribe of moles entered the red Peterbilt they had no idea where they were going.  As it turns out the driver put the container on a ferry in Seattle, Washington, that was on its way to Valdez right on 

the Gulf of Alaska.

Lucky for them Mayor Molly had a cousin Vinnie the Shrew who was

rather shrewd and built and rented ice castles, just what Mayor Molly felt was rather fitting for her flare for fancy palaces.

Then she meets Abby, who was going to be one of her best friends and savior.

Abby has a masters degree in fine art from USC.  Leon, her soulmate is a salmon fisherman in Valdez and since Abby was a foodie she manages the family restaurant, the Hungry Crab.

Moles Keith and Fred had chewed a hole on each side of the Peterbilt container so

you and your tribe will see the Golden Gate Bridge, the Cascade Mountains, Wineries, and Orcas.

What a trip! and remember the adventures are just beginning. 

As it turns out, Vinnie was also a bush pilot and had a tiny plane which will

come in handy.  Mayor Molly McMole really needs Abby and the villain

is still unknown to her, Sophia, and the other moles.

Thanks for reading this and I wish you the best of adventures, too.

FOOTBALL HANDBOOK

Copyright, Lorraine Strieby

Since Super Bowls are almost like a National Holiday and you have a youngster

who doesn't understand the game.  This book may help.

It holds a surprise and there are a few heroes in the book.

It also presents a problem for the referees and the umpire.

Remember to read to a child.  You can buy the book on Amazon, or if you are in a hurry, try Kindle.

PS:  I think Lorraine just wanted to show off her knowledge of football.

Whoops, Lorraine wants to use this laptop so I have to hop down

my mole hole.  Looking forward to the game tomorrow.

Cheers, Mayor Molly McMole     MMM
