HEART OF IRON Ch. 19: Interlude
Another interlude! This one from Yarn Granny's perspective. She and her husband have a more plot-relevant role to play in the next chapter, and this is basically just exposition.
Fun fact: that bit about Andy (the veteran husband) retiring from the Air Force as a firefighter after 40 years, promising his wife he'd take it easy, and then immediately being elected chief of the volunteer fire department of his new hometown? Yeah, that's word-for-word what happened to my grandfather. The difference between these two and Yarn Granny is that my grandmother got CPR-certified and also joined the department as a first responder. :)

Yarn Granny!!!! 💜💜💜
Yarn granny finally has a name!!!
What a lovely chapter. Thank you!
I'm so happy with this chapter! I always wanted a bit more backstory on Yarn Granny and the volunteer Chief!
Gotta say that I absolutely LOVE this book and can't wait to get my hands on a signed first edition! 😉🤩
Oh I love it, so absolutely adorable
Oddly, the exact same thing happened with my grandfather, except he wasn't Air Force. He was Army weapons development for 25 years and then retired. Mostly. He also promptly joined the volunteer fire department and never really completely retired. I'm happy to share a little more detail with you directly, if you want to base a character on him, the main system he worked on is still in use.
I really enjoyed this chapter. Yarn Granny and her husband always amuse me. I love the fact that this is an actual thing that happened I can imagine the huff and ‘fine, but I’m coming too’ 😂😂😂 or similar
I have to admit, even knowing it was coming, I cackled at the "what did you do?" and the rest of that conversation. X-D
Way to granny! Talk about some bad @$$ people. 🥰
