The Drum Hut

A few weeks ago we traveled through Kenosha, Wisconsin the very city our youngest child was born in.  We lived there eleven years and have many fond memories.  The picture above is my husband Bruce, me, and my friend Heather Poyner owner of The Drum Hut.  Heather plays the African Drums and wrote a book about her experiences playing in Drum Circles.

Heather is a wonderfully creative person with some interesting life stories. She's a writer, a musician, and a great cook. Having lived in Greece, she picked up the taste for Greek food and even thought about opening a Greek Restaurant for awhile. She can cook all kinds of things and used to cover the Food Page for the Kenosha News. 

   Heather's daughter, Lauren, is a creative person as well. She painted the dancers on the wall in The Drum Hut for her mother.

All her drums were fun to look at and listen to.  I especially got a kick out of the square patriotic looking drum, however.  That drum had a great sound and was homemade with napkins and packaging tape. What a fun activity to do with  your children or grandchildren!
