Rosemary And Thyme is a Podcast Musical in 16 episodes. It’s a modern-day Christmas Nativity Story. God takes a look at today’s world and really does not like what he sees. So, He decides to send his ol’ trusty Angel, Gabriel, on a mission. Our Miracle Tale takes place in the back-country of Skedee, Oklahoma – population 139 – about a back-country girl, soon to be a woman, named Thyme Quinn. And she’s soon to be the wife of the town’s only preacher man, the Reverend Josiah Washburn.

As our tireless troupe nears their destination, their experience is imbued with an ineffable sense of wonder. Thyme gets her final reassurance, and finishes her journey.
All hope lost of walking 500 miles to California, our little family stands at the crossroads of their lives, seemingly destitute. But fate has a few more fascinating and otherworldly solutions comin’ their way in the form of three visitations.
Another series of misfortunes befalls our little caravan, and they’re left struggling onward again. An unexpected blessing graces them, but despite the help they still have a ways to go.
Jose finds a new friend and fellow traveler in Ramon, who takes off the financial pressure and seems to be the answer to all of their prayers. But appearances are not always what they seem…
Too poor for a Motel Six, they buy 3 sleeping bags and decide to sleep in the open air of the desert. Because of the baby, Jose and Maria get the car and the rest get the bags. What ensues is a night of multiple passions and little rest.
Once again, on the edge of foolishness, Thyme and Josiah demonstrate their generosity. The beginnings of an off-beat family foreshadow much drama, a wealth of laughter, and a mighty struggle comin’ their way.
Thyme says, “I could jus’ drive an’ drive …” Like royalty they travel, Purple Chariot, Seeing the world, enjoying the feasts of life. More surprises lay in store up ahead!
A carpenter and a cook help Morgan get back on his feet. They build him a new house with an indoor johnny. They are rewarded with wheels — The purple Chariot. Back on the road. Thyme has time to contemplate the future.
And so, the three of them hitchhike on. Josiah has a vision for where to go. They get a ride from a trucker who drives them into the lap of a tornado. The trucker turns around, but there is no going back for our three travelers.
Bishop Goodspeed leads the angry mob on to the church. Once there, they will take care of business and rid the town of local vermin. Some escape; some don’t.
The Visit of Bishop Emmanuel Goodspeed escalates our story to the point of murder.
Another otherworldly interruption leads us to the nearly empty church of Reverend Josiah Washburn, Sunday morning with only Thyme, Gabe and Mama in attendance. (No parishioners) So, a wedding is held where Minister Josiah marries a surprising couple.
Thyme bravely faces Josiah with the truth. He doesn’t buy it. He wants her to get Psychiatric help. He thinks both Thyme and Gabe are looney. Gabriel reveals himself to Josiah magnificently. Josiah is abashed, but convinced.
Thyme has a secret that no one wants to hear. Her best friend, Lizzie, totally rejects her explanation. The law says that you’re innocent until proven guilty. Why does that not apply here?
Revelation usually comes last … not in this story!

Not SPOTIFY because a lot of our music is on Spotify and they, for some reason, find that to conflict. We are on Apple Podcasts.
