Have I Told You about the Time...?: A Legacy of Stories and Memories

HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE TIME...? is a collection of family stories and personal escapades--some humorous some scary some heartwarming-- by Mary Fern Carpenter a creative writing teacher and columnist for The Elk Citian. The book begins Ours was a storytelling family my fathers family. Storytelling was a tradition of entertainment of chronicling our family history of preserving who we were and who we are. There were veranda days and firefly nights. Days to be savored and evenings when stories were told to the whirring of locust wings. When time was longer in my growing up years and the stories went on.
