28 分钟Our story tonight is called Grandmother’s Grimoire, and it’s a story about a family heirloom that arrives in the crispy, cool days of October. It’s also about an afternoon in the attic with old trunks and photographs, a cup of sugar from the pantry, and the return of an old friend.
Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which Nothing Much Happens.
You feel good, and then you fall asleep.
I'm Catherine Nicolai.
I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens.
Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.
We are bringing you an encore episode tonight, meaning that this story originally aired at some point in the past.
It could have been recorded with different equipment in a different location.
And since I'm a person and not a computer, I sometimes sound just slightly different.
But the stories are always soothing and family friendly, and our wishes for you are always Deep Rest and sweet dreams.
Let me say a bit about how this podcast works.
Just as your body needs a bed to sleep in, your mind needs a place to rest, someplace calm and safe and simple.
That's what the story is, a place to rest your mind.
I'll tell the story twice, and I'll go a bit slower the second time through.
As you listen, pull the details of the story around you like a blanket.
Imagine yourself in the story, and before you know it, likely before I finish reading, you'll be deeply and peacefully asleep.
If you wake again in the middle of the night, walk yourself back through any details from the story that you can remember.
It'll put your mind right back into its nest, and soon you'll be waking up tomorrow feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Now it's time to settle in and set yourself up for sleep.
