What a joy to own
or have access to a computer. Scanning into my computer and repairing thousands of
old slides has been an 'on again, off again' project of mine. I've
made pretty good progress this year. Who knew when they were taken
years ago that those slides would not survive in their pristine
conditions? Hopefully, by digital means, we may have them back again.
Now, when I take pictures, they're usually digital to begin with.
Another of my major interests is quilting. It is so satisfying
to see my quilts and wall hangings loved and appreciated by my
children and grandchildren. This spring at the quilt show sponsored
by the local quilt guild, I won first place in the wearables
catagory with a jacket I made. This year finally saw the completion
of my

Kingwood Chorale consists of a group of talented singers who perform two or three times a year with professional orchestra under the direction of a college professor of music. With them this year, I had the honor of singing the soprano solo in the Vivaldi Gloria and one of the soprano solos in Handel's Messiah.
I still cantor at St Martha's Catholic Church in Kingwood. Also at St Martha's, I recently joined the Quilt Ministry where we make quilts for those who are ill and in special need of prayer.
The house which Butch and I built three years ago continues to be a source of great happiness. I've recently begun faux painting the walls in the kitchen.
To maintain these beautiful bodies For
exercise, Butch and I walk or ride bikes on the many miles of 'green
belt' trails here in Kingwood. I also go to yoga and strength building classes
at the gym.
People in Kingwood are so special. I just want to say how much I appreciate the friends I've made especially in the quilting and singing groups to which I belong.
