I am a retired music teacher, having spent most of my career in Oklahoma City. I have degrees from Harding University, the University of Arkansas, and the University of Oklahoma. I am a soprano with "operatic tendencies" but specialized in teaching music to children, which was a great joy to me. Somewhere along the way, I developed a love for flowers, and that has become one of my passions. Another one of my delights is cats. Many years ago, a dying cat wandered up to my house in OKC, and that was the beginning of the special love I have for felines. Jasper was my first beloved cat, and since he graced my life, I have found room in my heart for many more, including five just now. Recently, I have developed an attachment for chickens. Just after my mother passed four years ago, my painter gifted me with three bantams. Since that time, the chickens have added quite a wrinkle to my life, but many nice eggs, too! I'm anxious for you to meet them.

I am diminutive in size, five feet. I talk too much, but occasionally I'm entertaining! I have a very hard time parting with things and am still sorting my parents' belongings, as well as some of my brother's. I have my grandfather's 1940 tractor and the generator he purchased so that the family could have electricity many, many years ago. Maybe you'll want to buy a few of my brother's magazines, and that will help me pare down my "stuff"!
