My name is Melissa Toewe Granger. I grew up outside Austin in the Texas Hill Country, as the oldest of three daughters to Fred and Eileen Toewe. After my parents divorced in the early 90’s, I eventually gained a second mother (Jeanne Spears Toewe) and a second father (Bruce Hatfield) when my parents each remarried.

Since 1989, I’ve slowly migrated eastward along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Ten years later in 1998, a move to the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay brought marriage, a family, and a busy, sweet contentedness. My daughter Cassidy and I currently reside in the country between Fairhope and Silverhill on the 5+ acre ‘pretend’ farm built with my late husband. We attempt to preserve his memory well as we also move forward in fullness & anticipation of great opportunities of our futures.

Here, in these pages, perhaps God may receive glory for all the love, compassion, comfort, and grace we’ve experienced.Thanks for reading these sounds from the quiet recesses of my mind, heart, and spirit!
