when the world was flat
i have been recording the occasional story for my little niece savannah and posting them on a secret page just for her. that way, her mom can play the stories for her and hopefully she won’t forget her auntie who loves her so very much.
i listen to this particular story every once in a while because it makes me giggle. (this also makes me giggle, because i made it up, so you’d think i could just think about it and that would make me giggle, which it actually does, but it’s even funnier when i hear myself giggle on the recording.)
i am feeling a little silly today, so i thought i’d share it, in case it makes you giggle too.
lol! That was adorable!
I was grinning widely the whole time as I listened to that gem.
You have such a wonderful warm and happy voice…your little niece is going to LOVE listening to these stories.
And I have to add….that photo is spectacular! It is perfect for the story…so otherworldly…. or should I say flatworldly?
VERY sweet and charming, Elizabeth! Wow… and just loved hearing your voice! :o) It’s always fun to put a voice to face. You have a GREAT storyteller’s voice. Have you thought about doing those audio recording for Librivox, etc.? ;o) The story is wonderful… and I like the kids excuses of being late for school…haha! LOVE the feeling of mystery in the image… Happy Week ((HUGS))
oh good grief charlie brown!!!
where to begin?
you are a born storyteller. yes. born. it cannot be learned. that is a great secret. it’s a gift. and you have it. there are writers who can and do write wonderful stories that we enjoy reading. but that’s totally different from the true storyteller.
when i was young and we were going through the badlands, south dakota i think, i remember having the strangest feeling that underneath the huge humps of land were actually sleeping dinosaurs! so i could easily picture your flatland story. savannah will love you so much!!!
i bet your local library would like to know about you!
okay… enough gushing here. i guess you can say i liked it.
cheers,
tammy j
you rock!
A beautiful gift indeed…your voice, the story, the love for your niece….I hope there will be more stories in the future. xo
i am listening to my story and it is cracking me up even more because i am noticing how many times i mention how very flat the world was. can you tell that i am, ahem, not so very fond of flatness? 😉
also, thanks for the kind words! i am so glad you all enjoyed my little story.
