...THE GULLY...

THE GULLY was off limits to anyone or anything! But,on that rainy summmer day in 1947, six children were willing to place their lives in danger for the love of a pet! The old timers warned over and over. Do not go into the gully or the lower ridge! In years past, hangings occurred on the high ridge above the monstrous hole. Death would come; the rope would be cut,and the bodies would disappear into the belly of the gully! The six youngsters were aware of all the dreadful stories of the gully. Did they hesitate to enter the gully? Yes...but, their tomcat friend, Cat, needed their help. They were taught. One does not forsake a friend! Experience extreme love and bravery, among the youngsters, as you travel with them into THE GULLY!

From "THE OLD SOUTH" Started 2008 through 2011

REMEMBER...AS IN A CIRCLE, GOOD READING IS NEVER ENDING!

Being I am from "The Old South"....I have so many un-imaginable stories to pass on. My Mom use to say, "Don't talk so much, listen. One learns from listening." I love to talk! It seems like that was my hobby! My Daddy use to say, "Now Peggy Inez, you don't stop on the street and carry on a conversation with perfect strangers." I did! When we left the small town in Mississippi and moved for a short while to Houston, Texas, I would just talk to eveybody I met. But...no one realized how much I was listening!! That is why...now....I have so much to tell! Some of my thoughts....that I will express to all the children,are my beautiful stories of Maggie Sue, her brother, Terry D. and their friends and neighbors, the Knight brothers. My children stories will be authored under my given name, Peggy Inez. I finally have the time to express all I wish! So...parents....reading this, understand, I have two writing worlds. One is for all the children of the world. One is for all the adults of the world. But...both will be for the individual that simply has an imagination that can live through my words of happiness and sadness. Think....that is what the world consist of! Ups and Downs! I sincerely believe one's inner strength and faith will carry one through life with the correct outlook. I came from strong stock. I came from "The Old South"...magical and soft at times, but yet, it could be very hard!!"The Gully" is just the beginning...stay with me year after year...until I lay beside my ancestors in Happy Valley, Mississippi.

Thank you for your attention. Peggy Inez, Author & Storyteller
