STORYTIME TITLE: Miss Grief

STORYTIME AUTHOR: Constance Fenimore Woolson

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

It’s “hump-day” and what better way to celebrate, than having A’ja tell her GHOST STORIES.

Also, she helps me to tell bad jokes, talk about some less than interesting “this day in history” events – which I spin with my own unique sarcasm!

Wrapping it up with another Storytime, A’ja and I continue reading the short-story “Miss Grief” written by Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840 – 1894).
