I am very lucky!

There are those who look at my life and say,"Wow, you sure have had a lot of things happen to you!" but I say, "Yes, but look at all the wonderful people I have known, and places I have gone, lived, new foods I have learned to cook, the languages I have learned, and I am still going on!" True, I don't have the energy I once had, but I am still breathing, still making art, still have my wonderful husband, still enjoy a good gnarly head red wine, so all is not lost, and my hair grew back and it is long and purple!!!! What's not to love about that! Do Tai Chi, eat vegetables, drink red wine. Love your friends and lovers. Go out with a bang!

Yes you do. I have been hearing about you for a long time. I enjoyed Switzerland long ago when I could ski, lived in Germany and taught English in the American military schools. I spent 20 years abroad, saw about half of the world. Now, its just me and Jim in Oregon.

@LadyDuck Thank you. I know I don't worry much about what is "in fashion", never have. So, my work is generally unique.

I did not notice your comment but I told Anne that I thought to know her husband.

@Redmadness I've been here all my life . . . so much has changed in LA even in just the past few decades. LA has always been a crowded place . And now we're packed like sardine cans in a sardine can . Here's hoping you have all good days .

At 78, what else must one do? My hair is purple, I spend my days making art, doing tai chi, cooking good meals, because if I can get out of bed, it is a good day. But, I gotta tell ya, I left LA in 1969 because there were too many people then. I can't face it now!!!!

That’s the way to live! I’m not far behind except for the languages, making art, and purple hair. I have fairy hair
