Cousin's Book Signing

My cousins and aunt are in town over the weekend to do a booksigning for my second oldest cousin's first book. His book is called: A Courier for Stonewall. It's a really good "You Are the Star" book. The book is about a young boy delivering an important letter to Stonewall Jackson during the Civil War period. (You can get a copy at the Southern Cadence Press.)

He is in town today to go around to various book stores to give a demonstration on what life would be like as a drummer boy. He has also made his own authentic drum. It looks like the one in the picture on the far left. He made the top and bottom of the drums with goat and sheep skin that he prepared himself.

I think that my cousins are coming to our house for dinner, so we've been cleaning and stuff. Rachels sewing corner is the neatest its been, probably since she started with it. It looks good.

I am nearing my hundreth post. Therefore, I'll probably do something like post baby pictures or something, MSM suggested that I post 100 things about me, but that might take a lot of time. We'll see.... sourpatch

Southern Cadence Press

The Southern Cadence Press is a book company that my cousin, Bryce, has started. His website is in my links. He has written his own book about the civil war, and is almost done with his second. On his site, he has some of his poetry, essays, and his book is also for sale there. It is one of those choose your own path books. Right now, he and most of his family are in Brownsville, TX, settling my grandpa's estate. He has the beginnings of a journal under, "News & Events".

He and I have been corresponding by email in Spanish. It helps us use Spanish in real life, instead of the vocabulary that I have been learning. It is really a lot of fun, compared to the Rossetta Stone that I have been using. But no matter what, I cannot seem to speak the language. I probably sound as bad as Mexicans who try to speak English!!
