Dolly Sends Warm Autumn Wishes and Welcomes Her Favorite Time of Year
Fall is an inspiring time of year, not just in the Great Smoky Mountains where Dolly grew up, but God’s beauty can be seen all around us. As summer starts to fade and autumn colors burst forth, Dolly sends warm wishes and shares a few things she loves about her favorite time of year.
“Happy autumn! This is my favorite time of the year, and I’m certainly hoping to get to the Smokies, myself, to see the leaves when they turn color and start falling. Eating all that pumpkin pie, drinking all those pumpkin drinks and all the fun stuff we do this time of year.”
Imagination Library Celebrates Expansion
On August 9, Dolly travelled the country to visit statewide celebrations of her Imagination Library in Ohio and West Virginia. Capping each visit with a special musical performance, Dolly appeared to personally congratulate these states on their significant achievements of full statewide coverage, which gives every child under age five in each state the opportunity to enroll in her Imagination Library.

ENJOY THE WONDERS OF AUTUMN

“It Must Be You”
It must be you that’s always walking in my dreams
It must be you who’ll always be right next to me
So when you find yourself alone
Just think of me and I’ll be there
Must be you by my side the whole way through
Just like the fresh white winter snow
Our love is pure and it will always grow
And when we’re in those autumn years
Together, we’ll look back, but we won’t shed a single tear
