(extra fee for shipping) Grandma's
Big Jugs 
A
children's picture book telling the story of a lady,
affectionately known as Grandma who has exceptionally large jugs. 
| Get
hold of 'Grandma's Big Jugs'.
Canadian
writer Larry Baird takes a light hearted look at the importance of
what's inside, in this fully illustrated children's storybook.
A
simple rhyme that is as fun to read for the adult, as it is to hear
for the kids. Grandma is a lady in a small town who is known for her
magnificent jugs. So well known that she even gets to meet the king.
This story is meant
to be read aloud, as the adult reading it will have a difficult time
not laughing; yet the children will fall in love with grandma and
her adventure to meet the king and show off her big jugs.

well illustrated and kids will enjoy.

I was reading it to my friends kids and I tell you, I tried so hard not to
laugh; the kids thought it was entertaining and great.

hidden jokes haha.
ADORABLE STORY;

just loved the story and giggled the entire time.

A MUST READ;This
book grabs your attention in the very first paragraph. Read it in 1-1/2
sittings......couldn't put it down!
STATIC! WILL NOT DISAPPOINT;Get
set to enter a Twilight Zone where ordinary people - you identify with -
take you into a totally unpredictable realm of ‘What to hell just
happened?’
Then it will compel you into the next short story to see what
could possibly be next! Well done Larry Baird - you kept the pages
turning!
EERIE AND NOSTALGIC;I
am a fan of Larry's work and this book does not disappoint. The stories
are wonderfully eerie and nostalgic. One of them actually made me
cry...and another would make a wonderful Disney Pixar film...the others
are fun and creepy strangeness. Larry has a talent for creating an entire
character in one sentence, I swear I have met some of these people. Loved
it.
MAGICAL;
I've
always loved short stories, but this book itself has taken me to different
time zones that no book has.
I
cried, laughed and even couldn't sleep at night.
This
is a must read book and I bet you won't be able to put it down.
I've
seen people write those same words about different books and they are
right, this is one of those books.

Review
from
Mercedez, the co-star of the long
running stage show CARLY'S ANGELS.
"...It
was all about a mega star named Bernice. A charming story of hope that
leaves you feeling warm inside with a tear in your eye. The author may
have a twisted sense of reality tho."

GREAT
READ;
I
completely loved this book. The stories about Bernice were
enthralling and imaginative. Even knowing that it was a fictional
book it seemed so realistic and the fact that the author had drawn in
historical points or historical figures drew me into the book even
more
and I never wanted to put it down. I definitely would recommend this
to my friends and family.
A
REMARKABLE WOMAN INDEED;
A
fun story, or rather stories about a remarkable woman. Even though
the tales are farfetched they are surprisingly believable. Some
parts had me laughing out loud.
GREAT READ:
A
lot of humor and historical facts thrown into this story of a very
remarkable woman. Can't wait to read the second book!

Bernice
& Hilda:
The Schmermonger Papers
"I just love this author's work!"
Royals
and gangsters and spies, oh my!
This
ain't no yellow brick road!
About
'Bernice and Hilda: The Schmermonger Papers':
'The
Bernice Papers' left many unanswered questions.
After
years of painstaking research;
in
the new book 'Bernice and Hilda: The Schmermonger Papers',
Larry
Baird has
some of the answers.
-How
did Hilda and Bernice meet?
-How
did best friends become enemies?
-Was
Hilda just born bad?
-What
really caused Bernice's leg to fall off?
Follow
these magnificent, strong women
from
childhood to stardom; and
discover how they are connected to some of the most
important people of the first half of the 20th century.
Plus,
now there is a new name in the story; who
the heck is Rosabelle?

I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN;
Amazing
story that keeps you engaged throughout. Once I started reading, I
couldn't put it down because I needed to know what was next for these 2
girls. Am hoping there will be a part 2!
I LOVE BOTH BERNICE AND HILDA;
If
history class was this fun I would've paid a lot more attention. The
story seamlessly blends history with the fictional exploits of Bernice and
Hilda and is a perfect follow up to the Bernice Papers. Quite
interesting lives these ladies had. So far fetched and yet so
believable. Loved it!!
GREAT ADD ON;
"I
just love this author's work! Such a different out look on the lives
of Hilda and Bernice, lived in the same time set. I can't wait to
see what the author comes up with next."
UNIQUE;
How
unique and adventurous this book is.
This
is a kind of book that you want everything in it.
Definitely
ment for people that love history but want a different look into it.
Really
makes you want more and more. Such a fun, passionate and crazy characters
that make you want not put the book down.

Bivvy 
"...a
wonderful ride of fantasy..." A
story of friendship, family, mystery,
colour and faith
About Bivvy:
What if one day you pass by a cabinet containing forgotten objects from your childhood when suddenly, strange lights and sounds come from inside?
What if someone, a complete stranger, climbs out of that cabinet smiles and simply says, "Hello, I am
Bivvy"?
That's what happens to Rayn Archolas; an unassuming artistic man, quite happy in his solitude, whose life is drastically changed by the uninvited appearance of Bivvy.
Bivvy is a very colourful character,
with whom everyone seems to fall in love. His simple ways of speaking and looking at the world make him endearing to all.
All, that is, except Leopold.
Leopold knows Bivvy's true identity and the power he holds, and will stop at nothing to get that power for
himself.
Follow Rayn from his boyhood discoveries in 'The Giant's Castle' to the appearance of Bivvy in his cabinet; their journey with 'The Archolas Shows', the biggest and brightest circus in the land;
their battles with Leopold; and the final battle in the colourful, very colourful small town of Cornix, on the Canadian
prairie.
***
A story of friendship, family, mystery, colour and faith.
It is about the joy of finding one's home in this world, and beyond.
Oh...and there are crows and cabbages.
As for the one named Bivvy: Is he an angel, a demon, a
genie, or just a strange man?
Or is he something else entirely?

_______________________________________________________________________________________ oddities Is
this a U.F.O. appearing in the Drumheller Valley???
I took these pictures in the summer of 2019 and did not notice the aurora
until I reviewed the photos at home the next day. Then I
zoomed in and saw ... 
We
were touring the Banff Springs Hotel when I snapped a photo of the
staircase where a bride fell to her death in the 1920's. Her ghost
is said to appear there quite regularly. Did I capture her image in
this picture? 
Hopefully
more oddities coming soon top ____________________________________________________________________________ all images, artwork and writings are
