Buenos Nachos!


My Afro-Cuban groove does have some elements of African drums, but I was mainly thinking of Mexican music. I wanted it to sound like a Mexican restaurant, a little like Mariachis strumming their guitars and blasting their trumpets in the streets while people eat nachos.

How I Think Our World Has Become Like "Fahrenheit 451"

                                                                                                                Adonyi Gabor from Pexels  I'm going to be honest, reading is not my favorite. It has to be a topic that really grabs me for me to get into the book. But with the current times I stumbled upon a book that my sister had read as a kid and enjoyed, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. She loved that book so much, she even did a book re...

The 2000s Mall

 Our world has gotten more and more depersonalized by the minute. Adults throwing temper tantrums, not being able to log into a computer without it tracking your account to a certain device, and robots making decisions for us have become the norm. And this is the world that I graduated into to work in. Particularly in the last four years, I have seen people behave in ways that they should be ashamed of.

I have shared on this blog the variou...

The Field Trip and the Dulcimer

I went on many field trips during my childhood when I attended a private Christian school in the area. One of the most influential field trips I went on was a trip to Virginia's Explore Park.  Explore Park is a recreational park with hiking and biking trails and old pioneer houses. When I was growing up, not that long ago, it used to be a living history museum, complete with reenactments of period food, chores, and music. This part of the park just didn't have the funds to operate anymore, so it closed in 2007. The buildings are still there to look at, but lack the workers who added so much character to the attraction. Here I am in the center with the braids!  It was early October of 2002. I was seven years old at the time. We took an old school bus to the park. I was excited to wear shorts that day, which were normally out of dress code. Many moms had decided to meet the bus at Explore Park so they could walk with us, mine included. She came with my sister, ...
