As a storyteller and performing artist, I enjoy traveling and telling stories. That is a favorite next to being with our grandchildren and sharing in their fun. Sharing with family and friends is a way to discover more precious memories. A storyteller can create marvelous pictures with words. It is exciting to discover ways to tell of adventures, customs and folktales and to find ways to reach each new audience. Tall tales full of suspense and humor can bring light and joy to the heart. Each new day is a discovery, no matter what age. As a grandmother, I have discovered the joy of learning from our children and grandchildren. Smiles make each day happier!
 Emily Anne Theatre, Wimberley, Texas
Working on the computer with desktop publishing, writing, photo programs and research keeps me busy. Storytellers of all ages can enjoy preserving family tales, pictures, memories, recipes and other treasures. I try to take time to help others as they have so often helped me. Seeing happy faces is sometimes all of the reward that a teller wants.
