I love that picture. These days I am finding the kids more interested in hearing about my past than they are in their story books. Who knew we would have amazing tales to tell

some of my best moments are sitting at the dining table over dinner and hearing my parents recount amazing and sometimes incredulous stories of their life in Cuba. Makes me appreciate my life so much more!

My grandfather was a wonderful storyteller. His told stories of ranch life in South Texas (the good, bad and ugly), WWII and just the funny every-day anecdotes that are the ones you never forget. I recorded interviews with him and my grandmother several years ago so that I could capture all these details in his own words. He passed away earlier this year, but his wonderful stories live on.
Technology is everywhere. Record, record, record for posterity! You’ll be glad you did.

I love hearing stories of when my mom was growing up in Puerto Rico too. It makes me think that life even though she didn’t have much, was simpler that way. Thanks for the great blog. Oh, if you want to laugh a lot, check out the video on you tube called sh** abuelas say. It is hilarious.

Wow, this post makes me miss my grandma. My grandma was a storyteller and boy did she have some stories! Before she passed in 2010, the family would all gather together, drink cafecito con galletas and listen to her stories. Thanks for sharing!

We didn’t hear too many stories growing up, but my kids love them!
