Stories just like your Granny would tell you…. There is a Time. GOLDEN IS THE AUTUMN →. Marilee had had such sweet dreams lately that she was looking forward to another one as Mama pulled the covers up to her chin. But Mama reminded her of something. Remember what you had for a snack a few minutes ago? Answered Marilee, I had a big dill pickle and it was very good! Well, sour pickles may not give you sweet dreams. OK? Ok said Marilee sleepily as she closed her eyes. Huffed the little engine that could...

He tried very hard. He kept his eyes on Miss Sherry. He put his feet flat on the floor and his hands on his desk. He was being very good. But out of the corner of his eye he saw a flash of red. He tried very hard not to look, but he just knew a redbird had lit on the windowsill! Miss Sherry saw Sammy’s eyes upon her. S...

Stories just like your Granny would tell you…. THE CARVER →. GOLDEN IS THE AUTUMN. GOLDEN IS THE AUTUMN. Golden is the Autumn,. Dancing in her veils of splendor;. Laughing through the woodlands,. Pirouetting on the hillsides,. And brushing frosty moonlight from her hair. Bittersweet the taste of apples. On her lips of tempting crimson;. Silver slippers tripping lightly. Over fields of ripening corn. One by one her veils slip earthward. Leaving carpets sweetly resting. Upon future bursts of color. You are...

Angari is Revealed | GRANNY TALES
https://grannytales.wordpress.com/2013/09/08/angari-is-revealed
Stories just like your Granny would tell you…. POOR LITTLE SPARROW →. Our top story tonight concerns an explosion that occurred in Oklahoma today. We’re not sure what happened and no one has been able to get to the exact spot to give a report. It appears to have occurred between Miami and Bartlesville, but the news media and police alike are having trouble getting a fix on exactly where the explosion occurred. A fuzzy picture of a rural area came on screen behind the anchorman’s head. It’s the time warp!

GOD’S MELODIES | GRANNY TALES
https://grannytales.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/gods-melodies
Stories just like your Granny would tell you…. There is a Time →. 1 The sound of children laughing in the sun. Smiles of young lovers, their lives just begun. A heart remembering the dreams of its youth. A father telling his son about truth. These are God’s melodies, these are His songs. Everyday moments we build our lives on. He hears the sweet music of life day by day. He sings in our loving and laughs in our play. 2 An old man praying with trembling hands. Parents and children playing in the sand.

Stories just like your Granny would tell you…. AT CLOSE OFDAY Lyric. SPRING FEVER →. AN ORDINARY DAY/ AN ORDINARY DOG. Red Dog trotted down the road. His white paws; the only white on his trim auburn fur, made a clicking sound on the asphalt country road. He didn’t trot far, just to the little coffee shop to meet some of his friends. The screen door swung open and Steve stepped out then stopped and gave Red Dog’s head a pat. Howdy, Red! A bit hot for you today, huh? Now the dog in residence lay in the sh...

THE CARVER | GRANNY TALES
https://grannytales.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/the-carver
Stories just like your Granny would tell you…. GOD’S MELODIES →. The old man’s hands were gnarled and scarred. From the slip of chisel and knife. Faded blue eyes in a time-weathered face. Took measure of people and life. He ran a sure hand down the curve of a neck;. Felt the softness of wood he had shaped. And the fragrance of wood chips gave notice to all. The carver was back in his place. The pattern had given a shape to each block,. Proportion and form were just right. To bring one more pony to life.

Friendless, empty,. Come to Jesus, find his rest. Poor little sparrow, Jesus is your nest! God Was Busy →. TOADIE’...
