Grandmother's Screen Door

January 5, 2011- Just before Christmas, I was asked to submit a multi-cultural commentary on Collaborative Nation: http://www.collaborativenation.com/bicultural-and-mutlicultural-corner.html

I was pleased to participate in this project as my family was definitely multi-cultural! Our family was a happy mix of Hispanics, Anglos, Germans, and Japanese! I guess that's what you can expect when a lot of the men in the family were in the military.

Right now, there are three commentaries, more are on the way.

Taking a bite out of Republican tootles

© Janelle Meraz Hooper, 2008

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Obama and Biden are finally taking bites out of the Republicans' tootles. At last! I hope they keep it up!

You may be wondering why a Hispanic/Anglo has a Buddha on her woodstove. The connection is the children crawling all over Buddha. And the beautiful execution of a ceramic that may be a Chinese version of tourist tradeware, but it is a joy to look at. I have a growing collection of ceramic people from all nations. Native Americans have a version they call "The Storyteller"; the little doll has children crawling all over her. She's next on my list.

Quote du jour:

"Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them." Lily Tomlin
