The Swappin' Grounds

I traveled to The National Storytelling Festival with Donna Wilson, a fellow teller from Middleport, OH. My daughter-in-love, Sandy, met us there. We had a grand ole time and totally exhausted ourselves!

While all the storytelling was going on, this lovely, little lady just wanted to take a break and read a good book.

FUN IN JONESBOROUGH

It's always fun to tell at the "Swappin' Grounds". I always like to tell a good story there out of respect for the fine folks of the Jonesborough Guild. I have made many friends in Jonesborough.
