This book is a look into several of the creatures that inhabit the state of Arizona. Some species of these creatures may only be found in Arizona. I included the story called "A Mouth Full of Cotton" because it's an example of a species turned loose in an alien habitat. I could've died since there would be no antivenom available in Arizona.I use my radio show characters known as Farmer Family to tell science facts about the wildlife in this book. Some of these stories were taken from The Donkey Dan Show. Others were rewritten from my notes of stories we never used on the show.Though we have many dangerous creatures in Arizona, most are actually small. We also have a few dangerous desert plants in Arizona. Then there are the six large carnivores that call Arizona home, three of which I have never seen in person in all of my wandering.

The stories you are about to read are fiction with some fictional characters. However, not all of the characters are fictional. You will find real history and actual places woven into these tales. The main characters in all of these stories are angels. Angels are mentioned at least 273 times in the Scriptures. The number of angels is incalculable. They are created spirit beings which are invisible unless they wish to be seen, and normally, that is in human form. They, like us, have free will. There are several different types of angels with different assignments to carry out. They all report to God, their Father.Today, it seems many Christian people only desire to believe in a God of love and not a God of vengeance and punishment. Yes, God is love, but He is other things as well. People seem to mistake God's long-suffering for a change from His Old Testament persona to one that makes Him seem like a hippy of the 1960s. The Bible says that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I can't visualize Him sitting on His throne making peace signs. He wasn't a flower child in the Old Testament, so neither is He today.This book shows both a God of love and a God of justice. In this collection of stories as well as in the Bible, angels are sent to carry out His justice upon evildoers. In both this book and the Bible, angels are also sent to show His love for His children.

C. G. Thompson, born on January 18, 1945, in Amarillo, Texas, and Donna G. Thompson, born on March 18, 1945, in Phoenix, Arizona, got married on November 14, 1971. Before their wedding, C. G. gave Donna a drawing of Sammy Skunk, which spurred her to write children's books-an endeavor she started in 1973. C. G. eventually started developing characters, which would later be the Farmer Family; however, the manuscript got lost, along with the rest of their possessions, when their mobile home caught fire in 1985. In late 1986/1987, they started the Donkey Dan Show on Prescott Valley's KLKY. The show ran for more than four years, until the radio station was sold. Though they were offered to stay, Vietnam Veteran Donna's disabilities got worse, making them decide to end the show and start on a new manuscript using the radio stories. On September 4, 2006, Donna passed on to be with her maker.

Only about 20 of these shows were on the air. Some of them were written and ready for future shows while others put on paper after broadcasting the Donkey Dan Show. When the station was sold, Donna and C. G. Thompson were asked to stay, but Donna's illness had worsened, so the show was ended.The first show was "How the Donkey Dan Show Started." It aired in 1987 followed by "The Old Oak Tree House." The stories featured are a wedding of fiction and nonfiction that will bring you into the world of The Donkey Dan Show which spanned four years on Sunday mornings.The Farmer Family Album is a mixed family of cartoon animals. In these stories, the family blends together natural science, fantasy, family, humor, and religion. Even though the characters are fictional, they are taken from our real family, friends, and pets.

I use my radio show characters, known as the Farmer Family to tell science facts about the wildlife in this book. Some of these stories were taken from the Donkey Dan Show. Others were rewritten from my notes of stories we never used on our show. Though most of the creatures are found in Arizona there are a few that were added that are not.Our show aired on Prescott Valleys, K.L.K.Y. radio station between 1986 and the 1990s when the station was sold. Donna and I decided to stay with the new owners. Instead we made the decision to create a new book after the original was destroyed in a fire. These stories were kept in the Donkey Dan Show archives. A few stories told on the show were on tape and were never located.

Most of these stories contain actual places and events from history. Some are actually taken from events in my own life. The bible scriptures mentioned are taken from more than one translation. I use at least three different versions when I study. Normally the King James, New international, the Greek interlinear and sometimes the Amplified bible.I have been asked these questions: Are angels real? Yes they are real Do they have wings? Only when for some reason they desire to Do angels have bodies? Angels being spirit beings only appear in a body when dealing with people. Our story is about a specific angel commissioned by God to walk upon the earth. Her assignment is to carry out God's will in the lives of humans. When she allows herself to be visible she appears as a twelve year old, redheaded girl. Most of the time her eyes are emerald green unless she is angry or dishing out God's vengeance. That's when they change to a hell fire red color. She appears in a lime green dress and walks about in summer or winter barefoot. When her emerald green eyes go hell fire red so does her dress turn red.Our story opens up with a flashback to her first assignment on the first Christmas. Then the story is fast forwarded past many of her assignments until the present time. I gave her the name Noel from the song the 'First Noel'. Her name also changes along with her eyes according to her mission on earth at the time. When she dishes out the Lords vengeance her name is Vengeance otherwise it is Noel.
