The women would cook and my Uncles would
break out the guitars, harmonicas and sing…mostly gospel music and
songs in English and
in Spanish.
On this one occasion, I was with my grandmother in the back yard and no one was around. Grandmother was watering her Roses…She had 11 rose bushes in the back yard, two rows of five and one. She would hum a song and sometimes sing, in Spanish. But what I remember most is that she talked to the roses as she watered them.
