It seems a long time since I was in touch, and maybe that’s because it has been a long time.  I continued to sing after graduation from Paschal in “56.  My interest turned to a career in math, so I attended TCU.  Then one month during the fall I went to visit an aunt in Alpine, Texas.  I just had to stay there around the cool air and mountains.  I continued to study at Sul Ross State.  Enter future husband.  I quit school and had two children, one boy and one girl.  After a failing marriage, I returned to Ft. Worth.  I worked for the Texas Highway Dept,  as a draftsman( It was okay then not to be called a draftsperson).  Enter future husband II.  We married and though it had been almost twenty years after having children, I had a son.

So I now have three sons, one daughter, two grandsons, one granddaughter, and another grandchild on the way.  Needless to say, I have done my part in populating the earth.

During all these years of working for the highway department and making a home, I had another interest that I kept low key.  I wrote a lot of stories and poems to myself, and then I got the nerve to venture forth put the words in front of people.  I published two books and wrote humor for Jay Leno.  I fell in love with writing.

I became ill five years ago, thus  moving to Ashwood Retirement.  I like it here with my cat, Missy.  I have my computer, and I continue to write.  Who knows, maybe I’ll get another book done soon.

I remember so well the words of O. D. Wyatt at an assembly in the “old” Paschal.  He said, “Don’t do anything today that you will regret ten years from now.”   I think that’s the best advice for parents and grandparents to tell all children.

My best to all of you.  I wish everyone a content future by taking one day at a time and making it better.
