The 38 memorable stories included in Grannie Annie, Vol. 12, will also be published on this website, and shared through Facebook and Twitter throughout the year following.
Celebrate the Stories! From Colorado to Alabama to New York — Grannie Annie stories have arrived from across the country! The map below shows from which eight states stories have been received.
