Treasure Talks Podcast

Thank you for visiting Granny's page. This page will be dedicated to information concerning the "Treasure Talks with Granny" series that she and I are conducting. I will chime in periodically with thoughts and comments about each recording session and/or Granny memories/stories.

Getting to know our family- JIm

This week Granny, Chris, and I took a field trip to the Wyandotte Street Fair instead of recording a new episode, so I will take this time to upload some of my interview with my brother JIm from 4th of July weekend. We talk memories of growing up across the street from Granny and Grandpa, as well life in Faith In God (and Wyandotte.) Also sitting in on the interview was my good friend Jay Fant (the cook from Granny's 90th birthday party.)

For this week's episode we explore the story of Joeseph and Jacob (the coat of many colors story) with special guest (not quest) Terey!  As always we have family stories, laughter, and a whole lot of love.

Episode 3: Prodical Son

A little late on this one, sorry. We are back with the third episode and this time we tackle the story of the Prodigal  Son, questions from the family to Granny, and more.

Episode 2: The Belly of the Whale

In this episode we discuss our weekly triumphs, some fun uber-facts (although we go off the rails a bit in that section), the biblical story of Jonah and the Whale, and more... We are still finding our groove with this project, thank you for your patience, support, and feedback to let us know what you are liking (or not liking.) Love you.

The 1st ever episode of the Podcast

June 11th 2015, Granny, Chris, and I sat down and recorded the first episode of the Treasure Talks podcast series. We are working out the kinks, but I think this was a fun conversation. We discuss my interview with Monica from her house, weekly triumphs, a parable of the week, Granny's thoughts on the 90th birthday party, Chris' future plans, and much more. I have the abbreviated version of my interview with Monica here as well (a big thank you to her for being the first to do it.) Enjoy! Feel free to leave comments/questions/suggestions. We love communicating with friends and family.

And about Chris...

            Where do I begin? Oh yes. I was born at Oakwood Dearborn in the summer of 1996. It’s too bad that my family didn’t attend a campaign speech that year, because I think it would’ve been great to have President Clinton, Senator Dole or Ross Perot kiss Baby Chris! Anyway, my parents have always raised & encouraged my brother & I to be Christians. This is why I decided to get baptized when I was seven (through the Baptist church.) I have never regretted my baptism & am appreciative to Pastor Jim. I couldn’t be a prouder member of God’s community. I’m currently going to community college for paralegal studies. For those of you who don’t know, a paralegal assists lawyers with research & litigation.

            I’ve treasured my family ever since I was old enough to run around & be a part of the family scene. I can just barely recall the lively parties at Faith In God (which my Grandpa Paul founded). The DeLisle family is full of cousins, aunts & uncles. But most importantly, we ALWAYS have fun when we get together. And a few of us get ringing ears (with all due respect, we DeLisles can be quite loud sometimes!) Family is irreplaceable and I would never want to offend any of my family members

            Treasure Talks has been a grand & unforgettable experience for me. Cousin Josh, Granny Hazel & myself recorded our first episode on Thursday, June 11, 2015 (yes, I did look that up, even though I usually have an elephant memory!) My favorite episodes are Episode 5 (with one of our first guests, Cousin Shannon), Episode 24 (where we spontaneously interviewed Granny’s neighbor Dusty) and Episode 30. I am truly thankful to Josh for letting me be a part of this endeavor. To be honest, the two of us really didn’t know each other that well before our podcast debuted. The way I look at it, Josh could have chosen almost any of his cousins to help run Treasure Talks (we have almost thirty DeLisle cousins!) But Josh wanted his fellow podcaster to be someone who grew up knowing Granny & had experienced her unconditional love.

And a special thank you to Granny for opening up her home to Josh & I every week. When I think of senior citizens, I envision an old geezer either turning away visitors or scaring away visitors with their crankiness. That is NOT the impression that anyone would get when they meet Granny. I believe one of our fans said it best: Granny is the definition of love. Granny has never complained about having too many friends. She truly appreciates people & accepts them for who they are. This makes sense, considering Granny used to watch Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood with me when I was a young lad!

            If you’re still reading this tangent of a biography by now, I want to tell you that Josh, Granny & I greatly appreciate our listeners. Treasure Talks is a small thing the three of us can do for the world, but we always enjoy each other’s company. And we like to share our strategies (for lack of a better word) on how each of us tries to be a kinder & happier individual. As Grandpa Paul used to say at Faith In Good sermons, “3, 2, 1, Glory!” Enjoy Treasure Talks!
