I always got "sticks" to play in the school bands.<br /><br />Speaking of Native American - my DNA goes to Shawnee and Delaware both tribes lived in West Virginia or had villages there in counties that eventually made up WV. Interesting too, my mom was born in 1909 and the Census that year reveal there were only 36 known Native Americans in WV. The rest were of mixed races. My great- great grandmother was Native American and part of a horse trading deal with my Ballengee forefathers. The trade wasn't enough horses so the trader "threw in one squaw" my gg grandmother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-62742492984891231982011-02-20T20:44:33.456-05:002011-02-20T20:44:33.456-05:00Beautiful...lovely perception of life you have!

Something like the fun maracas can add some sizzle and zing to ordinary days. Even memories as you describe are brought to the forefront. The photo of you as a little girl is so cute.

Me? I go for the maracas. And if I'd seen ones like those, they might have mysteriously disappeared. I have two gourds filled with beans... original maracas, perhaps? I love the feel and sound. Yeah. Our Good Will type stores never have something so precious, it seems. Wonderful. And you are SO right. How could anyone buy ONE of the pair?
