Heartwood in the Hills celebrated their fourteenth annual December Celebration Friday and Saturday nights. Both nights were filled with color and dance as well as stories told by Ilene Evans and Sara Beecher. Please see the December 14 edition of the Calhoun Chronicle for more on this event.
WHEN FAIRY TALES WERE REALLY SO
I wish I’d lived long, long ago,
when there were mermaids in the sea.
And brownies would have played with me,
and fairy tales were really so.
I like on Santa Claus’ sleigh,
Next Christmas eve to have a hitch,
And I would love to see a witch
upon a broomstick ride away.
Of course, there still are lots of knight,
and there are princesses besides,
But nowadays men don’t win brides,
by going off on dragon fights.
I wish I lived long, long ago,
when fairy tales were really so,
Mary Street — 1907
