A display in Jonesborough, TennesseeEllen and I made the mecca to Jonesborough for the annual Storytelling Festival in the mountains. It was a wonderful five day adventure for us and I wrote it all up on her blog this time. To log on and read about the journey, go to: jhttp://cs01.gzo.com/~storytel/blog/ourney.
I have moved my writing desk indoors as the cold has been driven down from the north country and there has definitely been frost on the pumpkins.
James Whitcomb Riley was born on this day in 1849. He was born and raised in Greenfield, Indiana and is known as our Hoosier poet.
Jame Whitcomb Riley is best known for poems such as Little Orphant Annie, When the Frost is on the Pumpkins, and The Raggedy Man. It was my Dad who introduced those poems to me when I was little and I have never forgotten them. I was hoping to have a celebration for JWR, but as it is, I will just drink a nice hot cider and go off to bed!!
Happy Autumn!

I am confused. Mecca ? Mecca that is a holy city no? It is a City to which Pilgrims make a journey --No?
You made a pilgrimage to Jonesborough -- the Mecca for "storytellers"
