Cassie's Dream

By Lana G. Hurn

Cassie, a young girl of ten was fortunate to have her Grandfather Jack living with them. Grandpa and Cassie did as much together as possible. Cassie could not remember her Grandmother Annie, but that was alright, because Grandpa Jack had a way of keeping her with them no matter where they were. He had so many wonderful stories to tell Cassie about his beautiful young bride and in his way of telling his stories, you would think that Grandma was always with them. The three of them would go fishing together and they always had a wonderful time. Cassie had a way with her thoughts that brought life to everything her imagination could hold.

Larry, my husband, and I reside in Mount Airy, North Carolina. I have one son. My two sisters are the best friends anyone could ever have. They are my best allies and encouragement supporters. They are my most precious jewels.Due to the Covid issues, I am not presently working at Floyd's Barber Shop in downtown Mount Airy, best known as Mayberry, NC. Known from the Andy Griffith Show that ran from 1960 through 1968 and the hometown of Andy Griffith. We get thousands of people annually in the small, quaint town and we love our visitors, whether just looking or getting an actual haircut. We would love for you to visit us. As far as working, we'll see how long this virus takes hold.I love doing many things: writing, reading, drawing, sewing, jewelry making, barbering, woods, photography, making soaps, creams, butters and more. I never find myself bored and life is a story regardless if it is verbal or in type.I am a Cancer survivor and thanks to Jesus for His supporting hand during a difficult period. Thanks to my husband for standing firm beside me through the ordeal. We turned my cancer into a positive situation and kept an upbeat attitude. Cancer affects an entire family, not just the victim. For those out there with cancer or those who have been through it, cancer is not the end and you're never alone.You never know what touches others. This could go either way; good or bad. But through writing you are able to express and hopefully bring a little entertainment to others. It only takes a word to make a person smile and you never know when a word could pick someone up who is down. We do not have to be authors in its truest form of the title, but do what you enjoy and if it is writing, then enjoy when you do it. Thank you Smashwords for giving thousands of people the opportunity to voice their thoughts through self publishing. It's fun and easy to do. The hardest part is self editing. Locating errors can and will be your hardest part in self-publishing your books. Don't let that stop you! If you have stories that you placed high on that top shelf years ago, it is time to get them down and march forward. Never allow anyone to tell you that you can't. We may never be known other than to ourselves, but do it for yourself and because of your love for writing.Thanks to all of you that have downloaded samples or purchased downloads of my books. You are appreciated. If you have any encouraging words or simply want to point out (my text errors - because they are extremely hard to find yourself), please feel free to contact [e-mail]. Please leave a response in Subject line regarding the story or it will not be opened. Be blessed, Jesus loves each of you very much. Take care!

Cassie’s Dream

The Visit with Grandma

Ranson’s Creek had become Cassie’s get-a-way wonderland. A place she felt the world was hers. She could share the closeness of her grandmother, Casandra Anne Ranson, through stories that Grandpa Jack would tell. And, as for Grandpa, he could probably fill up an ocean with all the stories he had bottled up inside of him. They were endless! He never ran out of things to talk about.

Cassie was too young to remember her Grandmother, but Grandpa Jack Kolbert kept her memory very much alive by the stories he shared with her about their past.

Years gone run’n, Grandpa called them.

Ms. Annie loved to travel so she and Grandpa had been to many places.

She also loved oil paintings and had taken up the art herself.

Over the years she had accumulated many paintings and Grandpa had them on display at home.

While Sandra was small, Ms. Annie had an oil painting made of her and it still hangs in the entry hall of the Kolbert home.

Each Saturday morning as weather would permit, Grandpa would pack their gear and they would
