Gleaning Facebook: Tersi

I didn't take many pictures at the Southern Order of Storytellers annual winter festival. I diid take notes. I hope to write a post about it soon. But I'll go ahead and post this highlight. We got to see our good storytelling friend and now Facebook friend, Tersi Bendiberg.

Tersi's First Halloween

Best Facebook status for Halloween 2009? 

Tersi Bendiberg, whom we met and heard at the Georgia Literary Festival earlier this month, reminiscing about her first Halloween in the USA as a kid fresh from Cuba:  

“Decatur, GA 1964 Mrs. Tubesing gives me a pillow case and teaches me wonderful English words. "Trick or Treat." Carla and I come back, hours later, with pillowcases full of candy. I walk into our house and say “You say TRICK OR TREAT and they give you candy!” Papi, with hands at the waist said, “What a country!””
