the Brown High class of 1954.

Each of us turned 80 this year.

“Where have I been?” you ask.

"Proof-reading!"

I'm holding a PROOF copy. 



Two days after my 80th birthday

it was up on Amazon.

Girdled and Gloved:
 From Radio to YouTube


"50s girl fails auditions,
marriage, and psychotherapy"





Copies are at ADD Drugs in Five Points in

Athens, GA.


More are up at the OCAF Artist's Shoppe
(Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation)

2016 turned out to be a pretty good year.




I got to hang up my Retro Album Covers

at EarthFare in June,

which is what makes Athens, Ga.

a great town to live in!!




Just a hometown gallery!

No fans or fanfare, still,

I loved seeing them all in one place

 and one person emailed me.

In an OLLI class: Making Movies at Home,

four of us had an idea to save the world

and wrote the story outline in one day!!

I shot the short film

on my i-pad!!

I used i-movie for post-production

 music and sound effects

and made a super-logo for . . .

Super Crone Adventures!



It's on YouTube!!

The Elder-Boomers Have Arrived!!!

This is a job for The Super Crones!!!

Also, through OLLI, I toured WUGA studios.



 I'm standing in the same place

where, back in 1961

I once hosted "The High Road"

LIVE TV Program for Channel 8.

In November The OLLI Memoir Writers

gave a fabulous presentation

"Voices of Memoir"

 We entered dancing onto the Library stage to

I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet!

The audience clapped and laughed!!

Such beautiful stories -- poignant, insightful,

some down-right funny,

all beautifully read.

A Million Women's March

is scheduled in Washington Jan. 21, 2017.

Each state has a banner.

As the end of 2016 winds down,

I have dragged out my

Journal Cartoon Character

Blue Tomato.



She helps me get through

the days and nights

of being alone and creative.

Here's a few!










A musical slideshow of those

Retro Album Covers

are on YouTube, too.
