Thanksgiving Time

Thanksgiving (arguably the best time of the year: feasting and happiness, fall weather and everything) is here.  Please enjoy a yummy Pie and Turkey; for I will be enjoying some too and subsequently will not have a blog post.   I'm thankful for all my followers this Thanksgiving and all the other things God has given me in my life.  Is there something you are especially thankful for?  If you would like, feel free to share in the comments.  
Whether eating cranberry sauce or stuffing, glistening boiled ham, a pudding alight with dancing flames and set amid a wreath of holly, or participating in a simple moment of gratitude, happy thanksgiving!

Post Number One

 This is my first post here My name is Grace and since this is my first post.  To put things most honestly, I'm not sure what things are usually posted in blogs on the first day, but I'll tell you that I like writing very much, I play music on the piano and organ, and sing a little (I am soprano but I like singing alto parts really.)  If you are interested in this aspect of my life in particular, you can watch me on my channel, but I'll warn you that I don't put out videos with much semblance of consistency.  Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/@GraceEHall I mentioned that I like writing.  I wrote a short story about someone who discovered that they also liked writing, which I will put after this.  Please Note:  The main character in the story is fictional, and was also the result of my first attempt to write anything in first person viewpoint.

A World Beyond This

The Island of Crystal Lakes was the third island in the Sea, surrounded on all sides by water of the bluest sort.  Soft waves curled up onto the shore and left in a dancing little splash of bubbles, disappearing into the next wave, happily pushing its way onto the glittering white sands.  Glassy clear pools lay like mirrors amid tumbled grey-green rocks.  The sun beamed down, making the rocks hot and the water sparkle. The forest was standing above the shoreline, dark and shadowy and still.  Deep blue green lakes sent greenish glimmers of reflected light on the trees.  Hidden lagoons green with algae, with sunrays slanting through the water, and vines trailing down into the water like spiderwebs, lay under the shadows of this great woods.  It was a quieter and darker place than the beach as though the forest was in awe of itself.  A solemn and wondering silence. Up out of the forest rose the Castle of Crystal View, a tall and slender thing, not overly ...

A Short Story

Midday slowly wore into evening. The sun glowed orange and yellow on the horizon, making the dirty white siding on the tiny house gleam brightly amid a tangle of overgrown lilacs. The smell of hot grass blew in from the field beyond the four wild Bradford pear trees, the branches hanging in unkempt clumps over the house. The corners of the reddish roof were filled with brown leaves. The crunching of tires on gravel broke the stillness as a very old silver car came up the driveway and stopped, looking as wild and disheveled and slightly forgotten as the house itself. The driver opened the reluctant car door and unfolded herself from the front seat, then stepped slowly onto the sagging front porch. Sticking a key in the lock of the door, she attempted to turn it, but nothing happened; absently she tried the next key, which worked. The door opened with a loud creak and this curious personage walked in, forgetting to shut the door all the way. Inside was cramped and crowded with book...
