Birthing Person Abby in The Adventures of Mayor Molly McMole, Preposterous Title

Actually this birthing person owns a restaurant

I was going to write she but this is not politically right, right?

BIRTHING PERSON VERSUS MAD HATTER

Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland as a satire on British politics. Mayor Molly McMole wants to know if you moms, mammas, grandmothers, GiGs -- are you happy with being called birthing person? Well a Missouri congress birthing congress person just renamed you.  She called us this yesterday in US Congress.

Hold on, just think on Birthing Persons Day the card companies will have to do a lot of reprinting.

Fathers Day Cards too--Sperm Donors Day, LOL

Missouri, thanks for thinking we women and female moles as cows or sheep.

Lewis Carroll, we have a lot of mad hatters running around!

Look, Mom, Momma, Grandmother, GiGi are important titles, just like CEO, PhD, Senator, perhaps even more important.

Congress birthing persons and Congress sperm donors get a grip!

You are falling down the Rabbit Hole, in this case Mole Hole!!!

Missouri, don't you think you should change your name "Miss"--Mayor Molly doesn't think that will be legal.  Hopefully we will keep Mississippi.  

Well, again Lorraine Strieby doesn't know I type sometimes when I feel I'm in the writing mood.

I wonder what our Forefathers of all colors would think of this-- "Alice in Wonderland" environment.

Well, time for me to jump down the Mole Hole.  It is sane down there.

Nathan Hale (American History Not Taught in Schools) Perhaps Hale, Not Yale

 

George Washington had many challenges during the Revolution.  The presidency of the USA was not handed to him on a platter and he was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth.  He did not even sign the Declaration of Independence.  

He was underfunded, his troops were good at shooting but he was short on ammo.  They had to fight the winter cold and were short on warm clothing, boots, food--in general--supplies.  But he did have spies.  If you have been following the blogs of Lorraine Strieby and Mayor Molly McMole's adventures you know about the American Revolution, George Washington, Mr. Billy Lee, but did you know about Nathan Hale.

He graduated from Yale and volunteered to fight for our country.  Washington was losing the war and was in Manhattan losing to the Brits.  Remember, he couldn't sign the Declaration of Independence because he was out fighting for our freedom.

Well he asked his troops for one volunteer to go behind the enemy lines and be a spy--get the goods on these soldiers who were taking away our rights to be respected throughout the world.  Well, at the time only one soldier stood up and volunteered.  And, indeed, he was good at what he volunteered to do and helped Washington beat the Brits but he was caught and paid with his life.

He died with honor, and his last words are still quoted today, "I only regret that I only have but one  life to lose for our country."

He was disguised as a school teacher and worked as a spy for a few weeks before he was executed by the Brits.  Some people think that Yale University should be changed to Hale University.  Nathan Hale had no slaves while Eli Yale was a slave trader.

I'm so proud of my ancestor Christopher McMole, master spy for George Washington-- please read about the American Revolution by Lorraine Strieby.  Well here she comes so I am going to hop down my mole hole.

Imagination--A Great Tool in Illustrating Children Books--The Mayor Molly McMole's Series

Here is my favorite restaurant

This is my  Cousin Vinnie the Shrew's plane  taking me to the Anchorage International Airport. You know I am also Mayor Molly McMole, head of my mole tribe who travel the world, Right?

 Right now I'm illustrating a children's book  for another author, one of my joys in life--illustrating.  Why?

Our family didn't get a TV until I was 12 years old, and  since I read a lot I developed my imagination. Let's see, my ordinary house became a palace so I was a princess, our back yard became a stage where I could be a ballet dancer, an acrobat--specializing in backbends and cartwheels.

Growing up in Morgantown, WV, we had lots of clouds so when I took timeout I could lie down and look up in the sky and see angles, dragons,  horses, cats, dogs, sailing ships in full sail.

Having a love of music, I played the piano, accordion, clarinet and I loved to listen to music, play music, dancing with my boyfriend, slow dancing, the twist, even the bunny hop.  

When TV videos came out with the hit singer, rapper, rock group, I thought "hey, when I hear Casey and the Sunshine Band, I want to have my own memories--not someone else's.  Same goes for Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis, Louis Armstrong, Glen Miller, Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, Ella FitzgeraldDoes anyone know if these artists even did videos?

Well, my point is we had to use our imagination a lot.  People haven't lost their imagination because there are some really good authors today and film directors.  My favorite was John Hughes who did: Sixteen Candles, Farris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone l and 2, the Breakfast Club.  Why was he so great--because he never forgot how to be a kid.

Well, that happens to a lot of us and I believe that I never forgot either--so children books are my bag, either writing and illustrating the Mayor Molly McMole books or illustrating for another author..

Well, "thats all, folks," Happy Sailing," Lorraine Strieby, aka Mayor Molly McMole

GEORGE WASHINGTON--TAUGHT BY THE IROQUOIS TO FIGHT AND LED HIS TROOPS WITH BLACK AIDE MR. BILLY LEE

 Now that you know I write as Mayor Molly McMole in a blog about the adventures of Mayor Molly McMole and her mole tribe, she also wrote a book, staring this hero.  Yes, her ancestor, Master Spy Christopher McMole was his spy--WHY IS A MOLE CALLED A SPY.

Why not, spies are secretive little fellows. Not only that they live underground, they also come out during the day but no one sees them.  Have you ever seen a mole?  I think not...

Well, Washington was a self-trained officer.  At first he paid to get a commission in the French Indian War at 21 a very young age.  A couple of famous Senecas taught him how to fight, and a black man  became his best friend and aide in the American Revolution.

Now what is amazing is he paid to get into the first war, the French Indian, and was only 21 and his commander, General Braddock got himself killed, and this kid was left as one of the leaders, fighting along side the Senecas and fighting like a Seneca. 

That was easy for him because at an early age he learned to ride a horse.  Now in the Revolution, he didn't ride any horse, he rode the most famous horse ever, Nelson was his name.  The  horse is not the white one you see in pictures, but a sorrel with white stockings and an uneven blaze.  Together they were dynamite, one spirit, perfect for leading the troops, along with black Aide, Mr. Billy Lee, a better horseman than Washington.  This guy Mr. Billy Lee saved Washington's life a couple of times in the war.

Now here is the SAD thing--what I just wrote was all true and I bet you never knew.  Why??? Because they don't teach American History.  They don't think it is important--that people came to escape tyranny and wrote the American Constitution, one of the greatest documents every written.

MAYOR MOLLY MCMOLE WRITES A BLOG ABOUT HER ADVENTURES--LORRAINE STRIEBY WILL BE WATCHING THE WVU, SYRACUSE SWEET SIXTEEN TONIGHT.

Here I am having a sip of tea with my "friend, Sophia".  Do you see my paw?  Well, it is shaking.

You see I am a mole, disguised as a mouse, thinking that this would save me and my mole tribe.

Then I had to sweet talk her and  I actually treated her to live music by the Mole Rats and fed her tuna rolls which she loved and wanted more.

The story tales are on Amazon and Kindle and each one teaches something.

At this time with home teaching these books will make the job easier.  Mayor Molly McMole, that's me had an ancestor Christopher McMole who was Master Spy to Commander George Washington in the American Revolution--fantasy based on fact.  Lorraine Strieby wonders why she was never taught why Washington was so great.  He led the troops on his horse, Nelson, and his Aide, Warrant Officer, black Mr. Billy Lee, Honorable Discharge.  Washington loved Mr. Billy Lee so much he built him a house on his property, Mount Vernon. 

Strieby suspects that I use her computer so so long for now.  She will watch WVU basketball tonight, playing Syracuse in Sweet 16.  I think I'll watch too.  Bye for now.  Mayor Molly McMole

Traveling with Mayor Molly McMole Without a Mask in the Comfort of Your Own Home

 Why Is a Spy Called a Mole

 People ask Lorraine Strieby why she wrote about me and my mole tribe.   As you can see she expended a lot of energy and one book led to another book and yet another and finally there were six children's books.

Since a lot of children are home you might consider reading about me.  You see Strieby traveled  extensively and she didn't get a TV until she was twelve years old so she had to develop her imagination.  Then I came into her life--not in a good way.  She had kids and horses and I dig holes and leave mole holes and mounds of dirt.  I didn't do all of the digging because I had a tribe of moles, some artistic and builders of castles, and an omega mole 

who gets into some trouble.  Since you and your kids can't travel like we used to, well, these books will take you to some pretty exotic places.  Here we go--we are going to ride in a Peterbilt, a ferry boat, a trip with a bush pilot, Cousin Vinnie the Shrew, a jet plane, a motor cycle, surfboard,  and an automobile. In one of her books, Why is a Spy Called a Mole, she writes about her ancestor Christopher McMole who was a master spy for Commander George Washington, no less.  You are even going to ride a horse and see an eerie ship, named The Vulture.

On this 6 book journey you will see The Golden Gate Bridge, the Cascade Mountains, the Gulf of Alaska, Bernini's Four River Fountain, The Coliseum in Rome, Vatican, Uffitzi Museum, Adam and Eve, Florence, and some of the Hawaii Islands.  You can find her books on Amazon and Kindle.

Well, Strieby doesn't know I type on her blog, so I will say good evening and hop down my mole hole that is under the bleachers at a high school where we end up helping a losing coach get a trophy for being the best coach in her league--bye bye.  Strieby's motto is "Read to a Child",  Mayor Molly McMole, Lorraine Strieby Productions  #molehole #gulfofalaska #uffitzimueseum  #adamandeve #italy #hawaii
