Book Auction for Billy and Beau

Rocky: My mom has been piling up books for a yard sale, but with snow in our yard it will be a long time before that happens. So I brought her books up from the basement for an auction to raise money for Billy Sweetfeets and for Beau, who need help with their vet bills so they can get well. Just leave a comment before midnight Sunday Dec. 14 with your bid and the book titles you're bidding on, and we'll announce the winners Dec. 15.

100% of the proceeds will be divided between Billy and Beau. And if the winners would like to contribute a dollar or two toward postage, it isn't mandatory but would be greatly appreciated. That way, Beau doesn't have to pay for shipping his own books out of the green papers raised for him.

But wait! There's more! I'm going to draw 5 names from the winning bids, and each of those 5 winners will also receive a free Artsy Catsy bookmark in their book!

The larger that the head size is for your babolat pure drive, the more power you will be provided with. Additionally, a larger wilson k six size means a larger sweet spot which is why beginners as well as intermediate players often prefer to work with a head microgel with a larger head size. Additionally, thicker frames are also capable of generating more power as well. Smaller head sizes on prince-o3-tour on the other hand are capable of providing less power, but significantly more control cheap tennis racquets.cheap ed hardypolo shirts cheapcheap tennis racketsdiscount tennis racketsralphlaurenpoloshirtscheappolospolo fashionpolo logopolo shirts in voguepolo women clothinged-hardy shirtsed-hardy sunglassesed-hardy logopolofashioncheaptennisracquetsed-hardy sunglasses
