Click on the word "Comments" (above right) to enter what you remember somebody telling you about what life was like in Old Terlingua.  What customs do you know about that are no longer practiced that you learned about Old Terlingua from people who lived there?  What songs did they listen to?  What was a dance like? Were dances indoors? Did they dance square dances?  What dance steps were popular? Tell us what you don't want to be forgotten about old Terlingua or its residents. 

Length does not matter.  Write a sentence or a whole story. 

Literary skill does not matter.  You don't need to try to be fancy.  Simply tell us in your own words what you remember.

Content does not matter.  It doesn't have to be a story.  You could tell us about a custom that may not be generally known or has fallen out of practice today such as ways children showed respect to elders.  Or you can tell us how your family used to do things. These can be daily things, or special things, like dia de los muertos or posadas at Christmas time or cascarones at Easter time.  Tell us about things that we either no longer do or are done so differently today like making lye soap, butchering a goat, or making tesgüino.  Do you have a family recipe?

    You are the author

    Tell us what you remember about Old Terlingua.  It can be a story or a short memory.  It can be a recipe or the name of a song that was popular in Old Terlingua.  What kinds of dances did they do?
